People, if you have friends/family in red states, TALK TO THEM ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE! My mom didn't have the faintest idea what had happened, because her local news in Arkansas didn't even cover it.
I'm lucky enough to live in Oregon, so most of my phone calls have been Thank Yous and Please Keep Up the Good Fight messages.
Oregon Passes Work Scheduling Law (CNN): A new law requires large employers to give workers their schedule in writing at least a week ahead of time, and give them at least 10 hours off between shifts (or pay extra). This is going to make a HUGE difference in a lot of people's lives, especially for people who have to arrange child care, or fit medical appointments around work hours. It'l also give people a bit more certainty about their upcoming income.
I've also been bugging my relatives in Virginia about the Fairfax County School Board special election on August 29th (vote Democrat Karen Keys-Gamara!).
