YOUR WEEKLY RESISTANCE NEWSLETTER
WEEK OF SEPT 6, 2020
_________________________________________
Fascism expert Timothy Snyder returns to #StrangeDaysPodcast, offering urgent advice on how to best resist if Trump refuses to leave + MSNBC reporter and #Separated author Jacob Soboroff exposes how our government horrifically caged migrant children.
Snyder states that Trump has said that regardless of whether he has lost the election, he plans to stay in office. We know he will try to spoil the election. People must be ready to protest. Listen to this podcast. The first 30 min. is with Timothy Snyder.

I hope you will be as excited as I am about a virtual event we're putting together for members and volunteers of ALL 13 regional Blue Wave Coalitions, hosted by BWC of St. Johns County! I think it will be very inspiring for volunteers to hear about what Blue Wavers are doing in other parts of the state. As you know, we have coalitions in Miami-Dade, Lee, Sarasota, Manatee, Palm Beach, Alachua, Volusia, Orange, Brevard, Charlotte, Broward, and Duval! Each of the leaders will invite their members and will spend 2 minutes describing what they're doing to help us WIN Florida.
To make it even more motivating, I've invited a surrogate from the Biden-Harris campaign to speak! The director of the campaign's NE Florida region has already agreed to appear, and he is also looking into getting someone with an even higher profile as well. After the surrogate speaks, we'll highlight the array of volunteer opportunities, resources, and tools to get EVERYONE engaged in getting out the vote.The bigger the crowd we can assemble, the more likely it is we'll get someone with strong name recognition and the more impact we'll have. So I'm asking each of you to do all you can to promote the event to your memberships - via social media, email newsletters, texting etc. We want to get at least 500 participants!Time is short -- the event is scheduled for just 9 days from now, so we'll need to start pushing it out there immediately. It's on Sunday evening Sept. 13th at 7 PM via Zoom. Here is the link where people need to sign up (and don't forget to sign yourselves up too!):Thanks everyone!Robin Dion

Hi there! We wanted to share with you in a follow up email the presentation and videolink to the powerful presentation we had on Wednesday with Dr. Dale Anderson as he discussed Voter Suppression and Democracy Degradation. Dr. Anderson was amazing and he is kind enough to share this with us in hopes that we share his message with people we know. You're invited to join us for another amazing presentation we have coming up:

Also, we are continuing to push Florida's Supervisors of Elections to make digital copies of all paper ballots. St Johns County is not a county that has been ordered to save digital copies. Although to date there have not been ballot problems in St Johns County, in a tight election it could prove to be important. Therefore, we need to press Vicky Oakes, our SOE, to save digital ballots.
Here is a link to the latest news update on the issue.
8 counties which represent 60% of voters agreed to save the ballot images for the presidential race. However, there are still 28 counties (including SJC) refusing to save all ballot images. Please take action and sign our letter campaign and then sign our petition on this issue.
