As we’ve been working for racial justice, rule of law, peace, and economic and social justice over the past week, we’ve seen some sunshine break through the clouds.

Those who killed Ahmaud Arbery were found guilty, and the prosecutor who tried to hide the crime is now in custody. A jury found the Charlottesville White Power rally organizers liable for the horrific violence we all saw there.

The list of insurrectionists receiving subpoenas from the January 6th commission is growing, to include high-profile suspects like convicted felon Roger Stone and Alex Jones. “The My Pillow Guy” called for a “big lie” rally outside of Fox News, and less than 20 people showed.

It looks as though U.S. Postmaster Louis DeJoy may lose his stranglehold on the Postal Service, which is only good news for customers and workers.

#Striketober is evolving into #Stikesgiving as more workers nationwide stand up for living wages and benefits, and in the process are winning better contracts. We will continue to stand in solidarity with all.

After dwindling numbers over the past few years, Monarch butterflies are showing up in large numbers in coastal California again.

And even though we’re looking at another strain of COVID-19 coming out of South Africa, the U.S. travel ban from the most affected countries and other global responses suggest we will minimize its effect. We will continue to support and promote global vaccinations, masking, social distancing, and other techniques designed to keep our community safe.

We will continue to build upon victories—one at a time—and we hope you’ll join us via one or more of our actions below:
