70:30 Rule across the board. February 2021.

 The 70:30 Rule for all.

Campaign NOW for the next election.

It wasn't about the #50 with Georgia reaching that goal for equal representatives, it is about the 70:30 RULE for the Senate (70 Dem reps, 30 Rep Reps). Recent decision (2/13/2021) by the Senate just showed the reality for a just and sensible vote. 67 votes were the deciding number. 70 votes would ensure fairness.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.  We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.  In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.  Procrastination is still the thief of time.  Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity.  This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.”

 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Where Are We Going From Here:  Chaos or Community’.

Agitate, Agitate, Agitate. February 2021

Black History Month:  “Agitate, Agitate, Agitate”  Frederick Douglas 1895
 
Our rallying cry for the Month of February.

How far behind are communities of color, vulnerable community on climate change issues? February 2021.

 Always check the date of publication of reference material.
Vulnerable communities receive notices of funding, and other opportunities just as a deadline date approaches to properly prepare, while others receive the information months in advance.  
Is this equity?  Is this inclusion?
Shall vulnerable communities always be playing catch-up, getting the short end of the stick, or even no stick at all?
