While the news from the White House this week came hot, fast, and—let’s be honest—horrible, that hasn’t stopped people from rising to the occasion. Across Lenawee County and beyond, everyday citizens are stepping up in both big and small ways to resist, to organize, and to protect democracy.
As bestselling author Sharon McMahon recently reminded us:
“Your work for liberty changes the fabric of the nation. You may never realize what your work for liberty means, but no work for liberty is ever lost.”
We couldn’t agree more.
While Lenawee Indivisible is busy preparing for a major event during the Congressional Recess (tentatively set for April 26—details coming soon!), there are several opportunities—organized by a variety of groups—which will allow you to take action in our community. Here’s what’s on the horizon.
