I spent the weekend in San Francisco, where everyone is boiling mad. In a city where there’s such political consensus, no one held back from expressing their rage. It was palpable. On my return home today, I emailed two political organizers who were my mentors. It’s because of them that I stopped whining from the sidelines and got into activism. One recently helped run Hillary’s (successful) state campaign in Nevada. The other is the head of a multi-faith grassroots organization. After 6 days of mourning, I’m tired of being sad. I’m ready for action, but I want leaders to guide me. On Sunday, I’ll be attending a meeting and will report back. I appreciate the stirrings here from readers who are considering getting involved in whatever ways you can. Democracy works better when we all participate. Keep us posted with what you’re doing.
