Once a week, Jessica Craven's Chop Wood, Carry Water newsletter has an Extra! Extra! edition featuring dozens of stories from the past week describing the accomplishments of engaged citizens.
There's no complete listing, unfortunately, but here are some of them:
March on Washington - August 28: gather in Washington DC to Defend the Vote
Join this peaceful, nonpartisan, interfaith, and intergenerational gathering as we defend the right to vote and protect democracy. We are not gathering simply to remember history - we are gathering to make it.
Take action:
Action is the antidote to fear and despair.
You can make a difference.
It's okay to start small.
Action is the antidote to fear and despair.
Even doing small things - learning more about how we can strengthen our democracy, sharing what you know with others, making a phone call - can make a difference.
Right now is a great time to take action.
