Wednesday 12/20 Call to Action

Wednesday

Are you feeling despondent and frustrated by the actions of the Republican Congress? Me too. It seems the best course of action going forward is to channel our energy into getting good people elected to replace them. Today’s call to action will do just that.

1. Time to Support Black Women
The Alabama election was a reminder that we need to be supporting black women. Check out this article from Teen Vogue. It provides actions that you can take today to help more black women become candidates as well as organizations you can support http://bit.ly/2jdvnY9
