During this stressful and depressing week, let’s try to keep our eye on the prizes:

1. The Virginia election. Please continue to pass around our ActBlue link to family and friends.
2. We will shortly be sending out a sign-up link for the Origami lesson with Ann Overton and sale of Janet Grodin’s prints on Saturday August 24th 1:30-5:00 so tell your friends about it.
3. Next meeting is this coming Sunday, July 28, 4:30-5:45 at our house. We will talk about gerrymandering and also new apps to entice young people to vote, as well as finalizing the plans for August 24th.
4. Meanwhile, here are some action items: A) Tony the Democrat has a good post with the results of a study about postcards and their study found: Sending handwritten postcards to voters definitely had a noticeable effect on Vote by Mail signups among Pasco Democrats. Now it is time to do the same for Florida. Just log on to poscardstovoters.org. B) Make a small donation to help the re-enfranchised voters in Florida pay the poll-taxes that are being used to keep them from voting: wegotthevote.org and C) Need some friends and snack to get those postcard and letters writings vibes back in action? Join with other writers on Saturday July 27th 3:00-5:00 at Ellen’s House, 20 Jerome St. in Piedmont.
