APRIL 5- Nationwide Take Action Day

APRIL 5- Nationwide Take Action Day

by | Mar 27, 2025 | Issues

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.

Hope is Not a Strategy

Hope is Not a Strategy

by | Mar 19, 2025 | Issues

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:

Volunteer

Public Service Legal Response Center. The PSLRC is a volunteer legal services program run by We the Action, to support individual federal civil service employees under assault by the current administration.  There is an urgent need for lawyers to volunteer.  Training will be provided, as well as supervision by experienced federal employment lawyers. Geographic location is not a factor.  Sign up at:
https://wetheaction.org/projects/2914-public-service-legal-response-center
You will receive access to training videos, materials and future training sessions.

Upcoming Marches/Rallies and Other Actions
These provide moral support for judges, politicians, and advocates and encourage others to join.  You are not alone!

Democracy Dies In Darkness

by | Mar 10, 2025 | Issues

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:

This is WLGAN’s 8th resource guide for Federal workers and for volunteers who would like to support democracy.
