Not-To-Be-Missed events this week!

At some point, sane, law-abiding citizens who care about fairness and justice for all have to go into some kind of shutdown as we get pummeled every day by more and more examples of injustice and greedy manipulation. OK we’ll list a few examples:

1. fair and safe voting–that can’t be too difficult, right? but at every turn the republicans somehow have made the actual act of voting as difficult as they can, twisting an already archaic system to be more and more complicated. So, thanks to activists and clear-thinking legislators, we can at least tick the box that says “disabled” and mean “COVID scares me and i’m not putting myself or others in danger” and order up absentee ballots. See below and tell everyone you know.

2. taxation–we already have a confused and twisted tax system that lacks even a guise of fairness. We will be joining Andru Volinsky’s town hall Wednesday to get his take on taxation in New Hampshire and exactly why it is so unfair and what he’s planning to do about it.

3. race in 2020–seriously? we  don’t start out life as racist bigots. It’s drilled into us by a system designed to benefit from our ignorance. If people put it in other people’s heads, people can fix it. Pay attention to BLM. They are credible, they have identified the problem and are working on solutions.

4. gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression–please follow the link below to see the video of this month’s program on voting issues in New Hampshire. You are sure to gain a clear understanding of what we are up against.

5. and finally the word “bi-partisan”–used so rarely that hens’ teeth come to mind. Why? Voters are generally looking for results to be fair and just. Why is it so hard to consider the interests of the majority as something to strive for? Our governor needs to consider the bills and amendments submitted by our legislators and listed below. They all address how our citizens’ lives can be made a bit easier with a fair wage and justice for those caught, through no fault of their own, in the web of COVID. Senator Dan Feltes will walk us through all the legislation proposed this session tomorrow.

When you talk to people–friends, relatives, strangers–remind them of the application process to acquire an absentee ballot and ask them to pass it on. And somehow, let’s figure out how to use the word “bi-partisan” more often.
