STOP, LOOK, LISTEN!

It's Still Happening

As the impeachment process moves ahead, and we are all getting ready to sit in front of C-SPAN with a bowl of popcorn (you can keep up with it all HERE, even watch it live), it is worth remembering that many of the issues that have concerned us over the last months or years never went away—they just got buried in the avalanche of more recent news.
Here are just a few that are worth checking in on:
  • The security of next US elections is still threatened. (The Hill)
  • Asylum-seekers are being denied entry and remain trapped in shelters on the Mexican side of the border. (ACLU)
  • The Keystone Pipeline is leaking, for a second time. (USAToday)
  • The Department of Education proposes more cuts to public education.(Forbes Magazine)
Take some time to contact your representatives about issues that don’t deserve to be forgotten.
--Kathy Sherretts
