1. Campaign for democrats up and down the ticket. Working with Lehigh Valley For All and Susan Wild's campaign (https://wildforcongress.com/). [No direct contact with Bob Casey's campaign but I know both campaigns are including his literature along with everyone else in the downballot races.]
2. Make popcorn, watch cable news, and share my unwanted opinions online between Election Day on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024 and Inauguration Day on Monday, January 20, 2025. I'm inclined NOT to participate in any "live action" stuff unless it is peaceful and led by responsible organizations.
DON'T show up for a brawl and become part of and even escalate any violence. THAT is the job of the Executive branch at the federal, state, and local level.
[THAT was poorly phrased. I really need to read my stuff before I post. Hopefully everyone knows what I meant!! 🤣 ]
3. Should Donald Trump be inaugurated (by fair means or foul), engage in peaceful civil resistance - including civil disobedience if necessary - for CRITICAL ISSUES.
I consider Trump's execution of the Insurrection Act and any illegal, violent action against citizens, on the one hand, and the mass, "bloody" roundup of immigrants (documented or undocumented) and incarcerating them in camps to be such issues.
4. Presuming we survive all that - and we will - we need to talk AND ENGAGE with our seriously aggrieved neighbors on projects to address community level problems, increasing social capital and community resilience against extremism using the three social networking tools of bonding, bridging, and linking.
