March for Civility, September 23

The event is billed as non-partisan but it seems that marching and protesting is always associated with those who lean left?  I would hope everyone is in favor of a more civil political climate.

It's never to late to speak out

The announcement may have come out already, but in the past 24 hours over 22,000 people (and counting) have signed this petition to remain in the Paris Climate Accord.  If you can't recall all of the many reason why this is a terrible decision, this Time article is a great reminder.

Now THIS is positive resistance

My favorite example of how to turn a negative idea into a positive, innovative concept is this Hyperloop and commerce zone instead of a wall.  Read the story here.

In our own backyard

It was impressive how quickly Indivisible pulled together on such short notice on a Thursday afternoon.  CNN covered the store here as well as all the local news stations.

Petition to Stop Arms Sales to Bahrain

Profiting from governments who are actively violating human rights norms 
does not reflect our countries values.  Sign here and put pressure on your 
MOC's to resist.

Another change to write a letter - this time for the environment

For another couple of weeks we can provide direct comments on the White House's proposal to dismantle the EPA.  In the past few weeks comments have been growing and since this article was written, the number is up to over 31,000!  http://www.businessinsider.com/epa-public-comment-pollution-rules-2017-4
