Constitutional Crisis: How to Stand Up, Speak Up, Push Back | League of Women Voters

Last week I had the pleasure of joining local grassroots organizers on a radio show run by the League of Women Voters Maine.

I left the conversation inspired and hopeful about the grassroots energy to protect democracy in America. If you could use some inspiration, I highly recommend you listen.

Bangor schools double down on DEI despite Trump’s threats The goal is to make all students and staff feel welcome, safe and accepted when they come to school each day, the schools' civil rights director said.

“It’s about creating an environment where people are all safe, respected and seen as their authentic selves. There’s nothing political about creating a place where students and staff can thrive.”

Not sure that pollsters poring over incomplete data, reacting to how people maybe feel based on answers to limited sets of questions, is the dynamic future for Dems. Like: what if instead instead they fought hard for moral policies & ideas that make people's lives better & organized around that?
