Marjan hands out materials for American Resistance Sevilla's 2017 online climate protest.

​Wednesday, April 22 is
Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary


We can’t march in the streets or hold public gatherings this year, so organizers are inviting us to participate online. Actions are global and local, and focus on climate action, science and education, people and communities, conservation and restoration, and dealing with plastic and pollution.
When the first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — marched to protest environmental ignorance and demand better treatment of Mother Earth.. Now we have an opportunity to use our time in quarantine to find new ways to work for a healthier planet.

Wait a Minute, Mr. Postman
A major point of The Brennan Center’s initiative for protecting the 2020 elections is increasing the capacity for voting by mail. The Trump administration has attacked mail-in balloting, and refuses the USPS the kind of financial support that has been extended to corporations to help them through the Covid19 crisis. Contact your representatives in Congress to demand funding and support for the Post Office during the pandemic. (Change.org petition HERE)
