Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa

A mass outbreak of civil disobedience occurred in the autumn of 1940, when students of Oslo University began to wear paper clips on their lapels to demonstrate their resistance to the German occupiers and their Norwegian collaborators. A seemingly innocuous item, the paper clip was a symbol of solidarity and unity ("we are bound together"), implying resistance.

Time sensitive! Comment  BY December 22nd.
The ESA (Endangered Species Act), is under threat. The current administration wants to repeal the blanket rule, which automatically gives the same protections to threatened species that endangered species receive, such as prohibiting the harming, killing, or trading of those species. Without the blanket rule, each species wanted or needed to be added to the ESA needs to be added  individually, which takes time, time threatened species might not have. Leave a comment at the Federal Register (link below) BY December 22nd, telling them not to change the rule!

Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa

his Saturday, December 20

Indivisible Groups, Colorado Partnership Teams, Aurora Unidos CSO and many other community organizations and individuals are protesting on Dec 20 against Key Lime Air's contract with ICE to transport detainees and with their contract with the University of Colorado to transport their athletic teams. Denver Air Connection is a subsidiary of Key Lime Air and we are protesting at numerous airports which serve Denver Air Connection. Y'all covered our efforts with Denver's City Council members voting down an expansion of Key Lime at Denver International Airport.
