Feb 2017

so i joined the Durham Democratic Women
http://www.durhamdemwomen.org/

attended one procedural meeting, signed up for a couple committees, plenty of chances to be active. I am not yet sure they will satisfy my need for strong resistance yet. But we will be marching as a group on Saturday 11Feb2017 in Raleigh for the Moral March

i also attended a meeting organized through MoveOn, with Durham For Obama and Coalition for Health Care Carolina:

i'm so scattered. I think, but i am not sure, that i am extremely interested in protecting the 1st amendment and see that issue as an immediate threat. but then so is women's reproductive freedom. so is destruction of the planet. so is warmongering, poverty, racism, immigration, it's all going to hell!
