Hello, Cindy!

Umatilla, Palouse, Cayuse, Walla Walla

Be well so you're ready to do good.

If you don’t know the indigenous lands where you live, you can look it up here: https://native-land.ca/

Linda Bock, Stillaguamish, Coastal Salish, Duwamish

Hi, from Louisville, KY. Iroquois hunting ground. Not a tribal land as such.

Nancy and Jeremy on Spokane Land.

Hello from Carolyn on Bainbridge, Coastal Salish & Suquamish land

I grew up on the Newaukum River on an old Indian site. We have donated fishing weights, beads, arrowheads and even a trader's skeleton to the Chehalis tribe and museum.

Norm Conrad, Mount Vernon, Upper Skagit Tribes

Marianne Palm Beach Gardens, FL recognizing Okeechobee, Pahokee, & Loxahatchee native American tribes

Hi Everyone, Dwight Scarbrough in Bandon, Oregon. Bandon is located at the estuary of the Coquille River where the Coquille (KOH-kwel) tribe lived along the Southern Oregon coast.

so long as it disadvantaged dems more is all that matters to them

Did Ohio open up voting options because of Covid-19 and are these restrictions returns to pre-Covid?

that's what postmaster general louis dejoy was doing at his company, isn't it?

Straw donations are why Dinesh D'souza is a convicted felon

Illegal donations? Let us all remember this that Bill Gates coined the term "Philanthro-capitalism" - an unholy alliance between public and private funds. The private part remains just that - 100% hidden (secret) from the public. WE THE PEOPLE!

Thanks for naming this! "Small group syndrome"

I know OH pretty well. Moved in 2013 to KY. So I am behind. Lived in OH 43 years.

Dwight please share more about groups confronting radicalized nationalism if you feel comfortable

Mary Dye (9th LD is involved in presenting a bill to aid with mental illness among men - higher suicide, drug use, incarceration, violent crime, etc. She is our Republican Representative. Not sure of all the details.

Excellent presentation on coalition and democracy updates, Cindy! Thank you!

Just wanted to acknowledge you, as a Vietnam Vet and the gravity of your truth telling regarding our US epidemic of mass shootings. Thank you. We passed on so quickly, without a whisper. Deeply appreciate you!

Agreed. Keeping us divided is how they stay in power.

We need to bombard them on multiple fronts or else we get their word salads. Military spending, healthcare for all, wall street bailouts, for profit carceral (law enforcement, legal and prison jail) system

Commenting on what Jeremy said - Amanda Ripley (author) spoke at the Congressional Modernization Committee trying to address polarization & improve communication. Having lunch together she suggested as a good start. So, sharing a meal can help with common interests and when not in agreement.

Great presentation on coalition! Thank you.

Next month is the 81st anniversary of Roosevelt's eo 9066 that imprisoned 125,000 Japanese Americans

Building a structure is the point of the IVA. Based upon occupy values. I am looking for coalitions to build election reforms. Pro-democracy. There are web pages. Have a logo. Etc. National home page is https://cs2r.us/hamco/usaiva . Has a proactive voters pledge as the base of organization building. Sign the pledge. Has a leadership form for people to become leaders in the IVA goals.

We should also defund people in cages at our southern border

Loved the talk about coalition building, and the small group syndrome, and outreach!

thanks, Cindy!

Pro-democracy. A big goal is to Fix Democracy. Common idea for the groups I seek in coalition.

Thanks Cindy for your leadership and work.
