COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
COMMUNITY ESSAYS
We have been experiencing grief with Trump’s rise to the presidency, not once, but twice. These are precarious times for our country, and much harm has already been
inflicted on people, other countries, our institutions, and the natural world.
Ever since the Epstein scandal took its place as a major story of the day, I’ve been hesitant to write about it because, in my opinion, it is not and should not be the primary reason for opposing this administration and its many illegal and anti-American policies and actions.
When our children ask what you did to save democracy, what will you say? When Democracy Is at Stake, Silence Is Not an Option for West Seattle.
We are making a difference with our actions. The Mayor was here with West Seattle Indivisible. Now we need some of us to step off the street corner and share some of the other work of democracy.
I have been inspired, emboldened, and empowered by individuals and groups such as West Seattle Indivisible, to come up with a personal battle plan.
Our goal is a democracy of, by, and for the people
