#Resist 3 February


Donated to friend's campaign to raise money for the International Institute of New England: https://www.crowdrise.com/rowing-for-refugees-crash-b-sprints-2017/fundraiser/dianaarchibald

Today we worked on Pennsylvania, together with Mom (who lives there).

Attempted to call, e-mail, and fax Senator Toomey on my mother's behalf.  Was not able to get through via any of those means.

Update: Afternoon round

Successfully sent e-mail to Senator Toomey on my mother's behalf, asking him to stand up to Trump's Immigration order, citing her own immigration case and the situations of several of her neighbors who are refugees and also Muslim.

Helped Mom to send e-mail to Lou Barletta, her State Congressman, expressing disagreement with his terrible statement (he's with Trump and fully on board with the immigration order), again citing her story, the stories of her neighbors, and, well, common sense and facts.

Helped Mom to send e-mail to Senator Casey, who has come out strongly against Trump's Immigration order, and thanked him for serving the people and doing the right thing.
