Reasons for “We, the People”
to Laugh, cheer and Celebrate Even Now

Let’s take a short break today. Let’s put aside the hard work we are doing for our democracy. We are not quitting. But it’s important to talk breaks to celebrate our small triumphs and to laugh~ even if it is at the absurdity of life..

Enjoy!

First, let’s laugh out loud with Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, two-time Grammy Award winners.

NEXT EVENTS

Looking forward, the events continue. We are focusing not only on Trump, but on the Oligarchy. Here’s a list of future events for February and March.

With the GOP catering to an autocratic Trump,
it is up to us to let the congress and the oligarchs know
that we will not be sitting ducks for them to
destroy our economy and democracy.

Here are nationwide and global protests that
have been organized. Many of them you can join
from the comfort of your home. The effect of
your actions is multiplied in the millions!

Place these events in your calendar and forward the email to your friends.
