I'm a nature enthusiast, a sailor, an avid cyclist, a yoga practitioner and a budding political activist. I believe in the power of community, kindness, generosity and the human creative spirit.
Quoting Chris Armitage:
"Federal institutions will not save us. But the United States has ...state governments with independent constitutional authority, 24 Democratic attorneys general ...and state courts whose judgments cannot be pardoned away. The path forward runs through the cities and states."

Our government is failing us. Our tax dollars are being used to remodel the White House, to attack Venezuela with whom we are not at war, and for domestic terrorism in the form of ICE.

Urge your Governor and state legislators to engage in fiscal disobedience.

States need to step up to fight the federal power grab and the weaponization of federal funds. Message your governor, your state attorney general and your state legislators to join interstate compacts and to enact legislation to protect human rights and social services.
