Despite that nice long list of actions, I did two this month that don't fit anywhere: I sent a few postcards for senate and congressional candiddate3s via Postcards to Voters, and I called a city councilmember's office, which I am counting here as "called my state rep."
That was about a very local issue, calling to thank her for getting the traffic department to program some pedestrian crossing signals to come on automatically during the Sabbath. My partner noticed that she had done so, and said something about calling to thank the councilmember for doing something for her Jewish constitents that isn't pushing for more arms sales to Israel. This also led to me saying that I had gotten used to the city trying to have a foreign policy when I lived in New York City, home to the United Nations headquarters.
"something else"
