Pushback 45
R&D here at The Pushback is rolling out a new innovation: an email address! To simplify reporting links, go ahead and send us an email at pushback.rebuild at gmail dot com. Of course, you should use the standard method of creating an email address. We don't have a cybersecurity expert on staff to ensure that a real email address in the newsletter would not get spammed.
The topics are listed according to type of action and actor as described in this post. "Democrats" are elected officials, government agencies, unions, and non-profits. "Grassroots" are individuals, political organizing groups, and informal groups. "Disloyal Opposition" are Republicans, conservatives, business interests, and other interests more typically aligned with the GOP agenda.
This is a crowd-sourced effort, so if you come across a news item or call to action that you think we should include, please email pushback.rebuild at gmail dot com. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Some links will require subscriptions.
If you like what we are doing, please forward this to someone else. If you received this from someone else, please subscribe! And don’t forget to check out The Resource Guide.
