Have you seen the destruction of our government, the threats to our health, our economy, our welfare and our safety? The wrecking ball they have taken to the rule of law.
Do you feel powerless? Here’s what you can do:
Join a nationwide rally Saturday, April 5th. It goes by many names, “Hands Off”, “People’s Veto Day” “National Day of Action.” It’s all the same event. We urge people to come to DC if you can, to show strength in numbers. https://www.seeyouinthestreets.com/
If you can’t come to DC, please find a rally near you: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/map/
We will meet in DC at Gallery Place Metro, Entrance B at 9th and G Streets NW, on the sidewalk not in the station. Bring a sign, water, hat, sunscreen. AND BRING FRIENDS.
Our Rights Are at Stake. We Will Not Be Silenced. Let’s Send a Loud and Clear Message.

Robert Hubbell (my go-to positive messenger-in-the-morning) thinks that the tide is turning to regain our democracy, although it will be slow. That may be, but I think that progress is not a straight line, hope is not a strategy, and we now must all take action, extending ourselves as we are able.
This is WLGAN’s 9th resource guide for Federal workers and also for people to support democracy. We must act; it’s no longer optional.
Resources for Federal Workers and Contractors:

Ruth Marcus, an editorial page editor and columnist with the Washington Post for 40 years, resigned today. She wrote a column disagreeing with Bezos’ decision to constrain the editorial page to “individual liberties” and “free markets” and Bezos refused to run it. While the Post is making their tag line, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” come true, we all need to bring light to efforts to bolster and strengthen our democracy. Here’s our small part:

Nine women lawyers from Women Lawyers on Guard were just admitted to the Supreme Court bar this morning. Heard an argument, had a delicious lunch, met some of us ( and our guests) IRL for the first time! An enriching experience.
