You lost out if you failed to tune into Amy Siskind on July 9th. Since Trump's inauguration, she has been keeping a weekly list that tracks specific news stories representing eroding norms under the current regime. She did say that she's more optimistic that if he does refuse to leave, the military would likely escort him out. However, "if we lose, our democracy, as we know it, is over." The key, she says, is turnout. We must encourage early voting and we need to win "overwhelmingly".

Join award-winning author and activist Naomi Klein as she leads a discussion on protesting amid a pandemic and how to oppose the billionaires looking to build a high-tech dystopia in a socially distanced corona future. A dynamic and highly-sought after public speaker, Klein is the inaugural Gloria Steinem endowed chair of media, culture and feminist studies at Rutgers University and a senior correspondent at The Intercept. She is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author, most recently of On Fire: The Burning Case for A Green New Deal. A longtime activist, Klein is also one of the authors of Canada’s Manifesto, a blueprint for a rapid and justice-based transition off fossil fuels.

We've been through hell these last 4 years, and in 119 days we have one final chance to save this country.
Over the last few months, we have watched COVID-19 ravage our country and we’ve struggled to pay bills through the economic collapse. We’ve flooded the streets through the tear gas and rubber bullets, protesting the unjust killing of George Floyd.
We are literally fighting for our lives in November and that is why work like this is so important right now.
On July 2nd, Eleven Films released the Dangerous Ones, which quickly went viral.
We were so honored at the overwhelming response and we want to thank everyone for sharing it. It was shared on All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC that night as an effective way to motivate voters to vote. With your support, Eleven Films can produce a video every two weeks until we take the White House and Senate and grow the House.
NOW is the time to step up our game and that is why we are asking YOU to help DemCast and Eleven Films ensure these videos can be completed and broadcast across all social media channels.

KEEP WRITING THOSE LETTERS!
Big Send is at 2.37 million letters. But we need 10 million. Please join your editor in writing letters!
Some of us are introverts and shy away from making phone calls. Writing a letter is just right for us! Sending a Vote Forward letter is one of the easiest things you can do to increase election turnout. It only takes a couple of minutes and a stamp to meaningfully increase the odds that a fellow citizen will vote. Click HERE for info.

NO ROADS TO RUIN UPDATE
With the need for severe budget cuts, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the state needs to spend its precious tax dollars on critical state needs (education, public health, the unemployed, housing -- the list goes on and on) and should immediately stop wasting money on M-CORES.
See one article here.
What can we do? We can lobby the task force members (and here) directly. We can write letters to the editor. WE CAN LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD!
