Check In 16 August

[tanaqui]

Biden has picked Harris as his running mate and it has proved both popular in the polls and resulted in a surge in donations. Meanwhile, the current administration has led attacks on both the census and, through the USPS, voting rights. duskpeterson has put together a good round up of the situation and some actions you can take.

It's been quiet in the comm since the last check-in, but let us know through our poll and in comments what you've been up to since the last check in or are planning to get involved in in the coming weeks. Above all, take care of yourselves and stay safe.

I sent in my mail-in ballot for the September 1 MA primary!

I confirmed that I will be a poll worker on September 1 as well.
