Activism updates

1)  ASAP---About ACA:  

a) Call Speaker Paul Ryan's office  (202) 225-0600  to keep the ACA.  He's doing a phone poll. Hurry!

Press 2 to choose this issue.  You'll hear a recording about the bill to repeal it.  PRESS 1 to support continuing Obamacare aka the Affordable Care Act.  You're done.  It takes less than 2 minutes.

b) This from Jim in Greensboro: Specifics about the ACA that you may want to use in a letter, email, or phone call:  http://www.greensboro.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/repeal-of-obamacare-will-be-complex-process/article_e1100433-69e4-5fe4-a255-8e3c594bfe20.html [Thom Tillis is being especially public about being glad of a quick repeal of the ACA, so he deserves special notice.]

March for Women's Rights - Saturday 21st

Kia and I are headed north next weekend. I'm posting an event for locker assembly if people are still interested, but if there are fewer than three people, I might just cancel it.

Find out more about the march here: https://www.womensmarch.com/

And let me know if you're interested in car-pooling!

17 January 2017 UPDATE:

There is a march in Greensboro for the same cause on the same day: http://democraticwomenofnc.org/event/womens-march-on-greensboro/

Additionally, there is a national worker's strike and omnilateral consumer divestment being called for on inauguration day:

White Flag Nights at the IRC

Temperatures are down and the Interactive Resource Center needs to stay open as much as possible. They are calling for any and all volunteers to come in for volunteering that would involve distribution of winter supplies and simply monitoring the building so that people have a place to go when it gets dangerously cold outside.
Please, if you can, help. The link is here: http://signup.com/go/qx7KuX
