Jamie Raskin has for months ignored our requests to meet. Despite having met with us in the past, knowing the details of the desecration, visiting Moses, and knowing what our solutions are, he has yet to take any action or even condemn the desecration. Join us this Wednesday @ 1.

In retrospect, I should have known then that the Bidens would make a thoughtful, well informed decision when needed. Can't wait to learn about Kamala's reading taste & hopefully run into Doug at some DC book events!

Thinking about the health benefits of having agency to vote, & wondering about other roles for doctors these next 4 months--could this group put voter reg forms in waiting rooms? Can't wait for a healthier electorate + healthier democracy ahead!!

When in doubt, listen to a poet.

I just learned about this competition and am already cheering on Rachel Ament hopefully receiving a similar letter next year!!!

Thank you Black Agenda Report for publishing this article about the recent Supreme Court of Maryland decision surrounding Moses Cemetery.

Thank you The Essential Theatre ! Strengthened to learn that Zora Neale Hurston also thought about the role of portraying joy vs trauma, as so many artists from different grps do now. Hope everyone can see this fantastic play by 10/6! theessentialtheatre.org Kathryn L. Harris DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities

In a falling-apart world, joy = radical resistance! Thank you for this book that guarantees a smile just in saying the title!
