I wrote letters at the local Unitarian Universalist Church, with about 50 other people. If my calculations are correct, we probably wrote and addressed letters to about 1,000 people in Wisconsin, for VoteRiders Wisconsin. It was much more fun than writing 100 postcards alone on my couch! (And then paying for the stamps.) This time somebody else (the Church? VoteRiders?) picked up the tab for postage, so we all spent 2 happy hours accomplishing something worthwhile. A happy Sunday for me.

Great gathering in Tucson AZ on Friday for the evict Juan Ciscomani fiesta. We had about 250-400 folks party up in the desert heat. Juan is the regime's local puppet, who of course is not talking to his constuents while also taking $1.25 million from AIPAC.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida showed up at the UCC Church for a well developed program, great speakers, a food drive and march. We didn't spend a lot of time outside with the crazy summer temps, but still had an opportunity to engage. Thank you to the sponsors who donated lots of food and drink for us, the speakers who presented and the amazing volunteers.

I'm glad to see you mentioned postcarding in your post. I've been writing hundreds of postcards for the last 3 years. And truthfully for us introverts it's a way to contribute to the resistance and feel like we are making a difference.

My code : 485753. Your Good Trouble event in my town was a NO SHOW ! I went to the pedestrian bridge near El Dorado courthouse at the announced time. Nobody was there. Something is very wrong.
