Hi Jessica - because of you I call my Republican “representative “ very often. Thank you! I just found out he will be at a dinner I’m attending Saturday to honor my friend who started a school for Spectrum children 47 years ago. I want to say something to him. But I don’t know how to be civil. Sigh.
Thank you for your column, organization skills and your abundance of energy to do all you do for democracy. You are one of the reasons why I believe Trump and his fascist followers will fail eventually.
Subscribed today to the Chop Wood World edition to leave a plea to the President of Columbia U to call all the protestors back to campus to participate in the world's largest history class. Start with President Truman recognizing Israel AND Sec. of State George Marshall's objection. Teach forward to the present catastrophe and back to Abraham and Sarah and Hagar and Ishmael and Isaac. Big Times Square type map to follow all the border changes!!!! What an attentive audience these young people would make, and Univ Pres could draw scholars galore. Non stop history and the sloganeers would see how complex, and maybe help find a REAL way out. Use "Every War Is An UnCivil War" as an inexpensive starting textbook. Amazon kindle/paperback.
Jessica, thank you for sharing those amazing comments from your readers. I also feel proud of the readers and am in awe of their powerful actions. Those personal stories are motivating and spur me to do more. They are also a testament to your leadership. Thanks to you, Jessica, and the wonderful community you’ve created. 🙏🏼💗
p.s. I’m logging in to “All Aboard NC – the training series – telling your story and Joe’s”
Personal stories are how humans connect with each other!
We’re away for another week so I’ll miss you all today. I love, love, love the reader shares. It empowers all of us. Together we are building a beautiful, strong pro-democracy movement that money couldn’t buy. So grateful and glad to be part of this 🙏
Hello from beautiful Warren County, Indiana! I read several daily posts and yours is the one I most look forward to. I frequently call or write my senators and representatives, even though I live in a red state. And once in a while, they vote as I have requested. (It never hurts to at least try!) My reason for reaching out today is this... I checked my voter registration to be sure it was up to date (it is) and then checked IN.gov about requirements for voting. Just takes a driver's license. I pulled mine out, and lo and behold, it expires this July! I have plenty of time to get that taken care of, but I'm usually a procrastinator, as I know many people are. So, my request is that you regularly remind your readers to be sure that they indeed are 1) registered, and 2) have the proper documentation required at the poll on November 5. Thanks for all you do! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your posts.
Hi Jessica--I listen to your substack every day. Thank you for reading it. Your voice is so much easier to listen to than the AI "reader". My ability to actually read is limited, so I really appreciate being able to listen! I am so inspired by the positive news you put out every day. It often restores my courage and determination to keep on with the work. I'm not sure how to reach you with this request, so I'll put it here--I started a grassroots org in 2021 in New Mexico's huge, rural, southern swing district and we helped flip it away from a MAGA extremist in 22, to a progressive Democrat, Gabe Vasquez. Now we're gearing up to help hold the seat. Are you available to join one of our fundraisers as a panelist? We're inviting Simon Rosenberg (he's already hosted 2 fundraisers for us!) and a few other activist celebs like yourself to help us raise $150,000 for a big, multi-channel (postcards, digital ads, billboards, texting) GOTV push in the fall to registered Dems and Dem-leaning Independents who did not vote in the last 2 elections. That's what we did in the midterms and we got almost 7000 of these infrequent voters to the polls! Gabe won by 1,346 votes. Please check us out at bluecd2nm.com. We do our fundraisers on zoom and keep them to about one hour. We'd love to feature your work and your optimism for southern New Mexico voters. Thanks, Rochelle Williams, Founder, Co-Chair, Blue CD2 NM. bluecd2nm@gmail.com

THANK YOU, JESS! for promoting Power in the House with the California Grassroots Alliance. We are so PROUD to host you as a speaker!
I just got word my EVP postcards for Nevada primary are in the mail! I am excited to fill those out and mail them in May.

Jess, LeanLeftVt's action newsletter went out today -- your words, of course, got top billing. Keep
'em coming! https://mailchi.mp/fb15a1040850/lean-left-vermont-actions-everyone-has-to-stand-up-14159089
Thanks Jess! I don't have any rep to call (DC!!!) but I posted the message and the link on X & FB.
Blessings,
