As always, everyone is free to make posts about any issues and actions they think the community should know about. You can also drop some information into a comment to our sticky post if you'd like the mods to do it.

If you're looking for information on anything else, you can use our tags to check for any ongoing actions or resources relevant to the issues you care about. I try to keep the tag list up-to-date. If you need a tag added, you can DM me.

Spending much of my day listening to Corey Booker, et al. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUK2VbdLS4

I suspect you didn't intentionally have two "worked for a campaign" options. :)

Additional option, not listed: voted

I assume that "sent a postcard/letter/email/fax" is intended for "contacted an elected official" rather than "participated in a GOTV postcarding campaign"? Dunno if you wanna combine GOTV postcarding with "did phone-banking or text-banking" or make it a separate ticky box, but GOTV postcarding has been my big civic engagement activity (in addition to calling/emailing my electeds) and I would support it being included in future polls.

In addition to stuff on the list, I've also been participating in the boycott of Target and slowly trying to divest from Amazon, What's App and other stuff owned by Meta, etc. Boycotts are working.

I also called other Senators. I thanked Kristen Gillibrand for an interview she did supporting Cory Booker which also explained the reconciliation bill, and I thanked Cory Booker for his objection speech -- all 25 hours of it. Constituent support is important, but sometimes people need their flowers from non-constituents, too.
