If anyone needs motivation to take action just remember Plato, "The price of apathy is to be ruled by evil men." Think Paxton and Abbott and so many, many more. That should get your participatory fires burning. Happy Friday everyone!

Calling your attention to Joyce Vance's Substack, Civil Discourse (which I'm sure you are aware of). She has an awesome "call your congresspeople" suggestion in tonight's entry: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/if-congress-can-do-this . I'd love to see you amplify it:
Congress has just passed a law (413-7 in the House) allowing victims in the Lockerbie bombing case to view the trial remotely if they can't get to the courtroom.
"So call your Senators. Write your Representatives. And get a message to Merrick Garland. Ask, or better yet demand, a similar measure for the case of United States v. Donald J. Trump."
Awesome week and thank you! Just put together a summary to all the good news for a friend’s monthly newsletter and for all my people on social media. If anyone wants to use it, here’s a link to my post on Twitter (you can save the graphic and use it on your social media - no credit needed) - https://x.com/truthjusticehph/status/1748476066128429213?s=46
Thank you so much! That's a beautifully written post. And since the Civics Center campaign is now over, you might like to share this document with your readers, which has other postcarding and letter writing campaigns that are now active--I'll be updating it all year. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ADX8_k9WoPJDFwKiMRLYfTEThGP23yGyqytylpSxn8M/edit
Good morning Jessica, another busy night on Joyce and Heathers posts last night. Gloria Horton-Young is a serious fan of yours, obviously. Did you read Joyce last night? Serious letter writing issue building in regard to TV live in Federal Courts. Joyce makes a very strong case. Quite a few folks think your site could be the clearing house for this effort.
Gloria sent this to me last night:

You are just like my wife. Doing so much so fast and so well that she doesn't even know if the sun is still up, let alone notice that people DO think she is doing a great job of ALL of it.
And one of these days, neighbor, we got to do breakfast at Millie's, Pasadena.
I’m posting Joyce Vance’s Substack column from yesterday. Long story short, she’s encouraging everyone to contact their representatives to have Trump’s federal trial televised.
Jessica--could you please add this to one of the “actions” your readers could take?
Hmmm, should have read all the other comments first. Ann beat me to it, but Gloria is making a point of getting the word out about you to lots of other Substacks.
They're trying to pass a bill to establish it right now. Highly suggest subscribing to Social Security Works's email list. They are watching this closely. https://socialsecurityworks.org/
Working on my Civics Center Az letters from your previous post right now! Thank you so much for all the wonderful necessary work you do!
Amazing, Zora! Thank you for what YOU'RE doing! It really matters.
I’m writing letters to AZ as well 😊
Thank you, Monica!

God I love this. Thank you!
Thanks and enjoy the weekend. You more than deserve it😊

My matching fund is for the MOvement Voter Project, not NY. Although they do support orgs in NY! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mvpac?refcode=jess-craven-2024-01
But if you want to give to Suozzi's campaign directly or a great grassroots org in NY working on his race the links are in my ELECT SUOZZI doc here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dQjZWAPiGI3pHoVxMXrT82fevzWh7FitRcjNoCy7Rkw/edit
It will be done! Thank you!
Thank YOU!

Wow. Thank you for posting this. I’m humbled.

Sure. I’ve done it before but it was a while back. I’ll do it again on Monday!
Hmmm, should have read all the other comments first. Ann beat me to it, but Gloria is making a point of getting the word out about you to lots of other Substacks.
Jess, when is this closed door fiscal commission on SS
and M/Care supposed to take
place?
They're trying to pass a bill to establish it right now. Highly suggest subscribing to Social Security Works's email list. They are watching this closely. https://socialsecurityworks.org/
Thanks a million 👍
Oooh can you send me a link so I can add it to the doc?
