Yard signs, car/window signs, flags, more. Rep. Blumenauer had a town hall Saturday and had a huge one above him on the stage.
We want this not to be a moment, but a movement, said U.S. Rep Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) during a meeting with NWGSDPDX. He noted that women are the leaders who are stepping up to organize and lead grassroots groups all across the country.

NWGSDPDX emerged to actively resist the xenophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-Earth platform and policies of the new administration.
Our strength lies in understanding that our fundamental rights and freedom are bound to justice for all. We strive to listen, learn and take the lead from people within marginalized and targeted groups.
We seek to understand the role of our own power and privilege in building a united and intersectional resistance.
Our monthly meetings include an educational component so that we can continue to learn ways to be allies within our community.
Mission Statement:
To support an era of activism, democracy and progressive politics in which we advocate for social, financial and environmental justice.
All proceeds from sales and donations are donated to local non-profits that support the values on the flag.

(9,524 posts)weeks Dec. and Jan. Very abnormal. Sometimes go a year or two or more without any. Nine days of school closure in one month. Why they are calling it climate change instead of global warming now.

(171,065 posts)Hardly any rain and temps in FL about 9 degrees above normal. I'm not looking forward to this summer; at least the rain cooled things off.
Yes, we've had some hot weather already but I like these storms blowing through for us; cools things off for awhile, and we're getting some rain.
