Hi everybody.
Thanks to all who took an action yesterday to protest Trump and his agenda, including his attempt to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat, at a Women’s March event. Thanks to those of you who marched and rallied or simply stood silent with a sign, and to those who phonebanked to reach left-behind voters. We in Ventura were one of more than 400 events that took place across the country.

To be so close to Election Day feels simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying. We’ve worked so hard, while watching so much injustice and corruption unfold. But this is history that hasn’t been written yet – we do not know how it ends. We’ve included a video shared by Justice for All to give us the energy to keep on.

There are phone/textbanks happening EVERY SINGLE DAY until the election. Please join in and reach out to those who’ve been feeling disaffected, discouraged or depressed. Kind words are powerful during these times and people need to hear that they, and their votes, are important.
Today’s activities: The Women’s March Nationwide textbank continues. Pick a shift and help out if you can.
