Every day I look forward to your newsletter - sunshine in my mailbox! Also, to everyone who wants to help turnout the critical youth vote - here's a great opportunity for text-banking with Voters of Tomorrow - every Tuesday and Sunday for the next 6 weeks.
And if anyone doesn't know Voters of Tomorrow, here's a little info from their website: "Voters of Tomorrow was founded in 2019 by then 17-year-old Santiago Mayer, an immigrant from Mexico. Santiago noticed a lack of political engagement at his high school and decided to tackle that by creating a new organization for young people, by young people. During the 2020 election, we delivered our first major initiative, “Prom At The Polls.” The campaign registered thousands of voters and reached tens of millions of people through a series of organic social media trends and digitally organized events."
Santiago is great to follow on Twitter - fantastic at messaging. And despite how relatively new the org is, Santiago has been invited to the White House 5+ times and to speak on many other impressive panels. Ps: My son works for them too and loves it. If anyone has high school-college age kids, they're hiring (unpaid but great opp).
So I live in Fl. I called my 2 senators who have never voted for gun control, but I asked them to anyway. And I added as impolitely as the way people who oppose sensible gun control have behaved. It’s time to fight back. Being polite doesn’t work. It’s time to say I am furious at you for your inaction on issues to protect people from harm. They need to hear our anger.

Yes! Didn't Santiago's friend just get kicked by MTG? Oy. She sucks but they seem like great kids! And wow they're doing great work!
Yep - she also work at VOT. And yes MTG continues to be awful.
