I thought I would bring to the attention of the engaged sangha two upcoming events...
Women's March on Washington 2018: March On The Polls!https://www.marchdc.com/
On January 20, 2018 women and allies will once again take to the streets of the nation's capital to make a powerful statement to the current administration and the rest of the world. In a follow-up to the largest demonstration in U.S. history, people from across the country will meet at the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial at 11a.m. where March Forward Virginia will host a rally showcasing several speakers followed by a march on the White House.
Muslim/Refugee Ban: A Year of Resistancehttps://www.facebook.com/events/365172603907586/Hundreds will join local and national Muslim, immigrant, refugee, and civil rights organizations at noon on Saturday, January 27th in front of the White House to protest the one-year anniversary of the first Muslim and Refugee Ban and subsequent bans that have discriminated against communities and dismantled the refugee resettlement program. Impacted leaders who are still affected by the current bans on Muslim-majority nations will speak about how families are separated. Refugee leaders will protest the most recent refugee ban, which alongside other policy changes is estimated to result in only 15,000 refugees arriving this year, just a third of the 45,000 cap set by the President - already the lowest cap in history.
