#Resist 9 February

SNOW DAY!

Today I made phone calls using guidance from Solidarity Lowell.  Here's what I did (info pasted from Solidary Lowell posting):

 

Call the Lowell City Manager and ask him to adopt the Trust Ordinance

Kevin Murphy: 978-674-4400

Ask Kevin Murphy to adopt the Trust Ordinance for Lowell, which would guarantee in writing that the LPD will not enforce federal immigration policy.

Made the call, left a message.

Speak out against Mitch McConnell shutting down Elizabeth Warren

Phone: (202) 224-2541 
Made the call, got a message saying that lines were very full, it was not possible to leave a message.  Tried several times.  Ended up sending an e-mail through his form, instead (I know it's not as effective).  Because the form asks you to choose which topic you want to discuss, and no topic provided seemed quite right, I chose "CONGRATS."  

As in, CONGRATULATIONS!  You have invented a new kind of stupid, a damage you can never undo kind of stupid, an open all the cages at the zoo kind of stupid.
 

I think we could offer "congratulations" to many more senators in this fashion.

Stand up for the EPA and our National Parks!

Elizabeth Warren: 202-224-4543 -- Called and Left message

Edward Markey: 202-224-2742 -- Called and spoke to a staffer who let me know that Markey is already on board and doing this.  Thanked for the work.

Niki Tsongas: 978-459-0101 --

Scott Pruitt, Trump-appointed leader of the EPA. has created a bill to abolish this important institution. He created a blueprint to repeal climate change rules, slash the EPA’s staff by two-thirds, close regional offices, and permanently weaken the agency’s regulatory authority. Rep. Paul Gosar also introduced HJR 46, which would allow drilling in our national parks. Gosar is reported to have received $250K from Big Energy.
