Actions for Week of November 8, 2020
We did it! Celebrate!! Dance! Sing! Review what we did (monthly get-together time)

GEORGIA ON MY MIND
Since none of the candidates got over 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff on January 5. If we win these races, we gain control of the Senate and can keep Mitch out of the Majority Leader chair.

Let's savor the sweet smell of success, how we got here, and what we were doing when we heard. BYOB!
Lots more to do to win those two seats in Georgia, pressure Albany to go more green, fix our voting and vote counting delays, end police immunity, and enact budget justice. Not to mention our own city elections and holding Biden/Harris accountable.
So let’s get ready to roll. Because we can never, ever take our democracy for granted again.
