#DEI

April 19 is a Day of Action across the country. Events are planned locally including 9:30am in Troy at the Farmers Market and Noon at West Capitol Park in Albany. Show your support for democracy and due process, social security and Medicaid at a peaceful demonstration.

Our democracy — checks and balances, the rule of law, free and fair elections — is under direct and sustained attack.

Stand up, Congress! #congress

Bezos announces the WaPo will shift their opinion section of their newspaper towards right-wing opinions. The opinion editor resigned in protest of this shift.

🖕🏽The billionaires have gone rogue.

They think their money means they can force their right-wing vision for America onto society.

We need to build a rebellion For The People.

To reclaim our future from this Tech Coup.

Contact your reps and ask them to protect voting rights by defeating the SAVE Act. #voting

Call your reps and demand they stop the SAVE Act! It requires that a woman's surname has to match their birth certificate and that a marriage license is not proof of a name change. It could disenfranchise millions.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

The SAVE Act would put up barriers to voting by requiring every single American citizen to provide very specific documents, chiefly by either presenting a passport or an original copy of their birth certificate, in person when registering to vote and anytime they update their voter registration.

Thousands of people protest in Washington, D.C., and across the U.S. on Presidents Day The protestors participated in the 50501 Movement, which originated in response to the Trump administration and its efforts to cut government spending. Many chanted "Where is Congress?'"

No wonder they want to defund NPR. ☺️

The SAVE Act could prevent millions of women from voting.
