Join me and my family in supporting the Invest in Our New York act (IONY) investinourny.org. Script and numbers to call in the bottom of this thread. There's a state-wide coalition of orgs and luminaries advocating for the adoption of IONY's 6 progressive tax proposals...

into the NYState budget. (social justice orgs are organizing around IONY as a 'tax the rich" campaign, which it is. Others like saying it's a 'progressive tax' campaign, because we are indeed progressing towards more just practices, in this case towards a more just economy...

If you go to IONY's site investinourny.org and scroll down a bit and you'll see the proposals; flip thru them, the info is super clear and concise. And when you see how small the proposed tax increases are, and how easily they would yield $50 billion in new, much-needed...

Soup

Previously on Soup...

It has come to our attention that certain individuals have been deeply disturbed by the perceived proximity of soup to feet. This is an optical illusion. My soup remained at a safe 5-8 inch distance from these mysterious feet. Kathryn and I believe in safe foot soup distances.

ABS provides “full spectrum services to the families we serve. We are an extension of our village, and we extend that to our clients. Our respective experiences as doulas and mothers have exposed us to the reality that doulas offer a level of care that is vital...

yet under-utilized, within U.S. maternal care. We especially focus on serving the people in our community since doula support can drastically impact birthing outcomes.....

This is nuts! Please share with everyone who knows anyone in Colorado. We’ve seen these tactics before in states like Georgia & Alabama. A ban on abortion later in pregnancy is a step to banning abortion outright. Coloradans can stop Prop 115. voteno115.com #NoOn115

The proponents of this initiative have been clear — they want to force a woman to continue a pregnancy with no exceptions for health or individual circumstances — even in cases of rape, risks to the woman’s health, or a lethal fetal diagnosis. #NoOn115

Coloradans have trusted patients, families, and physicians to make these decisions, not politicians. Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters have repeatedly rejected abortion bans at the ballot in the past. This is a fundamental CO value that crosses party lines. #NoOn115

From my #PhoneBanking session a couple weeks ago. I SAVED A VOTE by helping Wendy fix her incorrect registration! These last two weekends are the most crucial for #GOTV efforts. Sign up and make calls starting today. We need you. thelastweekends.org/doit Let’s get to work! #Vote

This stuff ain’t easy or the most comfortable for lots of folks. It’s not always comfortable for me. I’ve been hung up on many times, sometimes I feel awkward and ridiculous making calls, but then I help someone and I know there are thousands of others doing this work with me.

There’s more at stake right now than our comfort. These calls literally can save us from four more years of Trump. Know that thousands of people are making these phone calls with you and turning out thousands more Biden votes. If you’ve resisted because you’re uncomfortable......

RV Return - We traveled out west with our son to visit our other son and his partner. Our first RV experience. Then our son abandoned us to our own devices for the return trip, but he provided chocolate cake for the journey. Back in July.
