Action Items
I'm moving the action items that I have listed in previously posts to the bottom and will add new ones here. I encourage you to subscribe to We the People Dissent, which describes itself as "a bulletin board. It is a collection of information and announcements on upcoming protests, boycotts, call campaigns, and strikes." There's so much going on that I think it will be hard for me to list all the actions myself, so I will just highlight and remind here and encourage you to follow them and find actions in your neck of the woods.
