What We’ve Achieved:
Lyme Disease Prevention
will change the way we think, what we say, what we do, and how to manifest our goals with honour and integrity.
Thanks Vesta – Lauri Luck
Created our Working Group based on Principles found in Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.
I didn’t realize what a valuable service opossum provide us. They remove up to 90 percent of Lyme ticks, eat rats and police up garbage while not causing any problems, and doin little or no damage. Very cool! Perhaps we should be encouraging them or transporting them to in Lyme hot spots in West County.
It starts with respectful dialogue.
RESIST!
Hired a bus to the Oakland Women’s March on 1/21/17

As an artist I always look for ways to do things a little differently and inspired by a FB post have started making my postcards out of my recycle bin! No box or carton is safe in my home and to date I have already cut out over 100 colorful cards with a goal of 200 for The Ides event.

Inspired by IndivisibleGuide.com we are voters from Sonoma County, California* rallying to resist the Trump agenda — an agenda based on racism, authoritarianism, and corruption.
I hope you will post something about this important event in your next issue of the Sonoma Gazette and/or on the website to inspire all the folks in our county to participate
We object loudly and powerfully to ensure that people in Sonoma County understand how damaging the Trump agenda is from the start. We will not support false promises and partial concessions that will further victimize us and our neighbors.
