Happy Monday, Activists, and welcome to 2025,
We hope you've had a wonderful holiday season. And now, the break has been taken and the holiday decorations are finally all cleaned up, so we're ready to get back to work!
First, so many of you want to know what happened to give us the sad result of November's election and what we're going to do next. While we know some reasons broadly, this is a reminder that the final vote numbers are not yet out, so we just don't have the final analysis of what went wrong. And we don't know the specific policies that the new administration will actually implement, so it is too early to take specific actions against them.
But we do know that we need to be prepared for what's to come. And we know it's coming in some way, so we are getting as ready as we can. More on that soon.
Tomorrow we'll have Calls To Action for you for the current nominees for Senate confirmation, so stand by for that. Today we have two events for you to participate in, below. We look forward to seeing you there!
PEOPLE'S MARCH PHILADELPHIA
Formerly known as the Women's March, the People's March will take place on Saturday, January 18th this year. In Philadelphia, the event is at City Hall from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You can learn all about the plans and sign up at this link.
MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY OF SERVICE
Do you know what's happening on January 20th? Yes, there is a certain inauguration taking place, but it's also the Martin Luther King Day of Service! And where would you rather focus your attention -- on a miserable show of hate and lies, or a day devoted to working with others to improve our community? We know what we'd rather do -- a day of service to our community. So come join us! And did you know that the first MLK Day of Service was held right here in Philadelphia?
We'll be volunteering at the Global Citizen Signature Site MLK Day of Service at Girard College. You can sign up here to get all the updates on exactly which activities we'll be participating in.
When: Monday, January 20, 9:00AM - Noon
Where: Girard College, 2101 S College Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19121
And if you are not in the Philadelphia area, you can find an MLK Day of Service event near you. We bet you'll improve your day by not watching the thing in D.C and instead working alongside other like-minded volunteers, helping your community.
