The infrastructure bill has finally passed (with much difficulty) and we've just had a set of slightly disappointing (if not unexpected) election results. All of which emphasises the value of having a decent majority in every branch of government — and the importance of gearing back up at the start of next year to really fight hard for the elections in November 2022.
We have an old Election Resources Roundup post that's a good place to start if you're looking for actions or to reconnect with past efforts. Do let us know in comments if there's anything we should add to the list or anything we should drop.
We've had one new post in the comm since the last check in:
Contact Your Congresspeople About Finding Graves At Indian Residential Schools
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. And you can always use our tags to check for any ongoing actions or resources relevant to the issues you care about.
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.
