All hands are needed to contact our representatives about the SAVE Act which will restrict who will be able to vote. Or you can go directly to their official websites and send a message to them via their page. If you call and no one answers or the voice mail is full, try again later.

SALUTE is a great way to focus on the details of what's going on in the moment, which in turn do help the person(s) being questioned.

Never directly interfere and keep a distance if you happen to be where something is going on.

Stay Safe!

This week's Rally for Democracy is CANCELLED. There will not be a rally this Saturday, February 7.

The sidewalks around McCandless Crossing have not all been well cleared of snow, and this brings up safety concerns especially those with mobility concerns.

Stay Warm!
