Thank you! I totally appreciate the feedback. Some on our board are appreciating that tag line / summary also. I'm happy to hear it resonates - seems more clarifying than "energizing the majority." We'll still use that - but the longer one helps for a better description.
I am looking forward to your specific prescriptions as to what citizens can do thwart Trump, demagoguery, authoritarianism, and violence. SO many want to help but do not know what to do. I write . . . . Stay well,
I had a look. This looks terrific. The only constructive feedback I have is that the repeated language “the shift“ is vague and imprecise for those of us who only vaguely understand what “the shift“ is. I would be more clear and concrete about what you’re fighting for and what you’re fighting against, using the language of “the shift“ less frequently. I hope this is valuable feedback.
Thank you! Yeah I've kind of gotten into the habit and probably overuse it. I tried to do a little bit more language about change and just changing the overall direction here for the country. That's really what it is. Going down a different path than the one we're being pushed down by the extremist crowd.
Appreciate the heads up. As I put together the stuff in this plan for next week I'll keep that in mind. -Vanessa
Wow. Just wow. It takes a lot to be vulnerable, to share our humanity. You showed yours when you picked up the young man (and I was equally impressed with the steps you took to ensure your safety). That young man now has a story, and so do we. This is the kind of connection we need--person to person. Thanks, Vanessa.
Thank you thank you, Evelyn. I love hearing what jumps out. For me the fact that that happened was completely unexpected, but so surprising. Yet I also was open to it. Thank you for your words. I was hoping that that's what would come across. These human connections are exactly what we need, as you say. - Vanessa
FANTASTIC:
“We Can Navigate Instability, Revitalize the Democracy, & Change Our Trajectory.” Because we can.

And I'm with you - we totally can. -Vanessa

@Eli thank you so much. I totally appreciate it. And how timely! I just posted our specific action plan for after the election here...

Your feedback is powerful, helpful, and appreciated. Now we build forward from here. This shift is about to get real. :)
