Hey, sorry I vanished for a day there. Depression kicking my ass.
I had posted a dairy/story asking if there was an interest in sending a message to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that:
- YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO BE SAFE AT WORK.
- We see you, we know this is very hard for you, we hear you.
- Your voice must never be silenced by terroristic threats. We got your back.
I also suggested that by supporting AOC (who has been open about her trauma and is a prime target of right-wing hate) could be a proxy for our sending this message to ALL our Democratic legislators who were traumatized on January 6th.
The big question was: HOW SHOULD WE SEND THIS MESSAGE? And as always the comments were filled with awesome ideas. I want to do a poll and see what seems the best idea to the most Kos members.
Here are the suggested options:
I have omitted some suggestions that either did not seem practical or desirable (more guns in Congress just does not seem appropriate).
Whatever we decide — I think we could easily arrange some flowers/plants as well. How can we track how much is given? I’d love the flowers to arrive with a card saying: $____.00 was raised in your honor — we salute you for being courageous every day!
Or similar message. I’m not up to eloquence at the moment. But I bet we can hash out a nice, constructive message between us all.
