Just finished preparing 75 postcards for Activate America. They are bound for Ohio in support of Sherrod Brown’s election to the U.S Senate. I really like him, and it feels so good to help get out the vote in an election crucial to our nation’s future!

Just watched this historically illuminating and urgent movie about voter suppression. It's intense but a must-see documentary that all of us should watch and then share if we want to work to protect the vote and preserve our democracy. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?...

A "favorite son" of Kentucky (or, at least, too-many-times re-elected senator) has played a big role in the undermining of our democracy. I am prejudiced, of course, but Stephen Cherry's new song tells this story of political mis-governance that should be remembered and shared.

Banning medical debt from credit reports would have helped nearly 15 million Americans.
Instead, the Trump Admin is literally inviting Wall Street, insurance companies, and utility companies to rip us off.
Can't trust a billionaire to look out for working families.
