Good Trouble
Betsy: Want two easy good trouble things to do immediately? Write both your Senators this morning asking them to please keep Senator Schumer from caving into the Republican Party's new funding bill. Contacting U.S. Senators

The second good trouble is to wear a paper clip (I'm making a paper clip necklace because a paper clip doesn't work well on my obnoxious tee-shirts that I wear constantly). Norwegians wore a paper clip during WWII to symbolize resistance to the Nazis. Now it's our turn. Subtle, but Great. I'm also putting a few paper clips on the sign on my apartment door and suggesting that everyone look up paper clips and WWII.
