Chop Wood, Carry Water 1/22
Hey, everyone!
The newsletter is off on Wednesdays, but I did just want to send you information on two events coming up imminently. Some of you may like to attend.
Get Smart #1! 📚
TODAY:
Please join a post-inauguration discussion with David Corn and other journalists from Mother Jones—a publication I love—to hear firsthand what they’ve seen and heard as the new administration takes over and what we can expect next—from confirmation fights, deportation plans, and spending cuts, to fissures in the MAGA movement and emerging visions from the Democratic opposition.
The virtual event is today, January 22 at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT.
Get Smart #2! 📚
TOMORROW:
The Center For Common Ground is relaunching their Effective Advocate webinar series with the Workers Circle on Thursday, January 23 at 7 pm ET!
This three-part program will offer updates on key federal legislation, discuss model state legislation, and do a different kind of advocacy training each month.
During their January session, they will examine both the SAVE Act in Congress and Virginia’s Constitutional Amendments. They’ll also give you tools for advocating for legislation.
From becoming a legislative advocate to an LTE writer to a protest organizer, these trainings will highlight important political developments and help you expand your advocacy toolbox to become the change maker you want to be!
OK, you did it again! You’re helping to save democracy! You’re amazing.
Talk tomorrow.

So basically the guy that whines the most about Mexico emptying their jails into the United States just emptied our jails into the United States.
Thank you!!
