Writing postcards to voters in other states is one way you can help fight fascism. I'm going to write some to Maine voters. They send you the postcards free but you have to pay for postage. Details are here: secure.ngpvan.com/NPCPSG0VaUqa....

With all the crazy stuff going on, let's pause and read the lessons of non violence shared by the late, great John Lewis in his last essay. Let's keep up the fight but through nonviolent means.
Let's keep getting into good trouble as John wanted us all to do. Peace.
