So you wonder what you can do…
Get involved in local elections- they matter! Maybe it’s just phone calls or texts but do it! If you can do door to door canvassing that’s better.

Supporting your progressive school board candidate or Ward/City Council member is important! These are the people who support schools and libraries. And trust me when I say, these are other areas the right wing is aiming for!!! They are not just gunning for the presidency & federal control.

The first time I interacted with them, they were loud, some were using inappropriate language & when we told them they were too loud, they ignored us. It was quite frustrating - no doubt about it. It quickly set a tone of being somewhat adversarial w the kids which meant everyone was on edge as soon as the kids came in the building & they were coming in almost every day -to game & have snacks.

It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death—ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life:
