Check In 2 May

[tanaqui]

How's everyone doing? It's been quiet in the comm since the last check in — isn't it nice to no longer be looking at the news, wondering fearfully what new outrage the POTUS is inflicting on the world today? Which doesn't mean there isn't still plenty of stuff going on at all levels of government, the media and business that needs to be countered. I'm sure you're all still flexing the skills you've built up over the past few years to help create a better, fairer society.

We've had one post since the last check in;

PASS THE PRO ACT/HR 842

Don't be shy of making your own posts about any issues and actions you think the comm should know about, or dropping some information into a comment to our sticky post if you'd like the mods to do it.

Meanwhile, use our poll (behind the cut) to tell us what you've been doing in the last few weeks and tell us in comments what you plan to do next.

since I clicked the 'other' poll option: school board elections are next week so I spent a bit of time researching the candidates! Will try to send the info around to local friends who might vote if they know the candidates
