Before I get started, I want to share an image from our walk today on a portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail.
I don’t know about you, but I take great delight in this moss-covered stump that reminds me of some kind of velour throne. Full disclosure: I fought the urge to sit on it.
That beautiful walk rejuvenated me and while I’d like to wander forever amongst the ferns and trees, it was time to return to reality. And as you know, there’s a lot going on and so much of it feels out of our control which is why I’m here to share a couple opportunities to take action.
ONE) Tomorrow (Wednesday, March 19th) #TeslaTakedown is holding a mass mobilizing call at 8:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm PT that will be livestreamed on YouTube. A link will be sent in the morning. Register HERE & go to TeslaTakedown.com for more info on the people’s movement that’s making Elon Musk angry and tanking Tesla stock.
TWO) On Thursday, March 20, the American Postal Workers Union is holding a Day of Action as the Postal Service faces the most serious threat in its history as the Trump administration prepares a hostile takeover in order to privatize this bedrock institution! Go HERE to find an action near you (along with LOTS of resources including flyers, talking points, signs, etc). Here’s a sample that includes these FACTS about the United States Postal Service:
Even if you’re unable to participate in either event, please keep talking about what’s happening. As I talked the other day with the truck driver who’d driven our belongings from Colorado to Washington, I realized he had no idea about the many, many ways the unelected billionaire Elon Musk has been wreaking havoc in our lives. We’ve got to educate each other and I kicked myself for not having a flyer I could hand him with all the info from TeslaTakedown. Same goes for the Postal Service. I’m going to have some of these flyers with me so I can hand them to folks as we talk.
There’s a lot going on as they aim to shock and awe us into submission, so don’t feel bad about not being able to help on every front! None of us have that bandwidth. Instead, pick an issue or two that resonate and put some energy into that. Every little ripple we create adds to the tsunami of people-power. Solidarity!


And now…the fragile ceasefire has been shattered!!

It’s horrific, Karima. Israel violated the ceasefire all along and now they’re not even pretending. Horrific.

First of all, I’ve always wanted to go to Olympic National Park so now I can enjoy it through your photos! That’s a very comfy looking stump. Thanks for sharing more great action links for us to do instead of just watching the news in horror.

Amazing capture! Nothing is lost in Nature. That’s part of our reality, too.
Thanks for the info on citizens taking action against the ongoing assault. I agree with you that we need to focus on an issue or two. I have a plan germinating.

I want to thank you for the reminder that Nature is also part of our reality, Rosaliene. A simple statement yet profound. I will continue to carry that truth with me while navigating these very chaotic days.
I’m glad you have a plan germinating for your 1-2 issues and would love to hear about it (we could converse off WP) as I try to find my organizer/activist footing in my new community. I’ve been reading Move the Needle and also have this resource, which might be helpful for you?
