Worried about national and state events? Concerned about the chaos of executive actions and a silent legislature? Want to do something but can’t figure out how?
The What You Can Do (WYCD) campaign (formerly affiliated with the League of Women Voters of Alachua County) has a series of action plans. They are intended to encourage you to respond to the daily breach of the rule of law and the separation of powers. That separation has nourished and guarded this nation since its inception.
These WYCD Action Items will appear regularly. They will be designed to provide concrete actions to give you a mechanism for doing something. To sign up for the mailing list, email Janice at jgcommunity@gmail.com.
Daily assaults on personal freedoms and institutions meant to serve American citizens can be overwhelming. Ignoring the worst and retreating inward can seem like the only response. Fear is understandable. But fear contributes to the dismantling. Action, because it is the right thing to do, helps us sleep at night. Action, regardless of outcome, makes a pillow softer.
