Check In 3 January

[tanaqui]

Happy New Year and welcome to 2021!

I hope you all had good and safe holidays and were able to (zoom?) meet with the people you love and survive being forced to meet with those people you'd rather avoid.

Since our last check in, redbird posted the good news that the state legislature in Massachusetts has strengthened abortion rights in the state.

We're now moving on to certification of the election (with more desperate attempts by Trump's lackeys to overturn the results) and the inauguration. But before that, the Georgia senate run-off elections need to be decided.

This check-in post has a round up of actions you can take, and rydra_wong has posted since the last check in about an effort to target companies making last-minute donations to the Republican candidates.

Use our poll to tell us what you've been in up in the last few weeks and use the comments to tell us what you plan to do next.
