I live/work in a college town in a deeply racist red state. We actually have a stellar group of progressive women of color elected officials. So Bernie did very well here, like I said college town, and after the primary he comes back to stump for HRC. HRC’s campaign was charged with recruiting speakers, getting local…

If you happen to be in AZ or have an AZ number, the DC voicemail is full, try Prescott or Tucson.

Just called his Tucson office! If you’re in AZ, or have an AZ phone number, his DC voicemail is full:
Phoenix Office
2200 E. Camelback Rd., Ste. 120

This is scheduled for Tuesday, Monday I get my IUD replaced so I’m guessing the Senate will not vote to repeal before the debate. Silver lining!

During the campaign I worked with Bernie’s immediate team. I don’t want to do it again, and rumor had it all the unpleasantness came from the top.

No. Absolutely not. Bush gave a speech after 9/11 calling for tolerance and acceptance of Muslims. Bush was scary, and lots of people died. This is fucking terrifying.

Here in AZ the Florence Project represents every single child in deportation. They have a special office for it and they are amazing.

Same, on both accounts.

My pleasure!

Show up, as long as you don’t make it about you you will be welcome. Make sure to listen more than you speak and don’t speak over people. That’s all there is to it. It’s natural to feel anxious, work through it and it’ll be worth it.

Go, no one will be upset that you are there in solidarity. And do more listening than talking, and don’t talk over people.

I can vouch for the Florence Project. They are legit and awesome. They provide legal representation to every child in immigration detention in AZ along with doing a bunch of work for adult refugees and immigrants. They’re superheroes.

Yeah, I’m a little in awe that people are surprised the border patrol is embracing this. These are the people who once parked outside an elementary school in my small city and detained parents as they picked up their kids. I’ve spent my whole life in a border state, ICE is not friendly and does not give a shit about…

Internet hugs to you lovely. Harry Potter movies always make me feel better, but it’s a time commitment.

My husband starts every single day by cuddling with both the dogs. It is both adorable and kind of “eww you’re not expecting to touch me with those hands....”

Thank you.

And this is your daily reminder to go volunteer for a midterm campaign and register people to vote until they ramp up. Your local democratic party is your starting point.

Thank you, and ignore the assholes. It is much appreciated by people who fight for our rights everyday and make very little doing it. Again, thank you.

Here in AZ we have been railing, thanks McCain: http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2017/01/24/john-mccain-jeff-flake-voice-mail-full/96971328/

If you happen to live somewhere near a local office, stop by and visit. Perhaps bring a gift for the staffers. For equal pay protests we always liked to bring 3/4 og a cake/candy bars/etc. Perhaps copies of Diane Ravich books?
