CA NOW President Patty Bellasalma was at the rally in Los Angeles we told you about yesterday. Here are her, let's call them, "Notes From the Field," or "Holy Crap There Are Only Two Days Left Before the Election"!
"Yesterday I started the day inspired by Cornell West's words and wisdom. West and I then got on the bus tour with Mark Ridley-Thomas as we visited the rich and diverse communities that make up the 2nd Supervisory District in Los Angeles. What we saw all day was democracy in action, grass-roots community organizing, women, men, children of all ages engaged, motivated, determined.
The message that was sent by everyone, in both their words and deeds was don’t stop, keep marching right up to 7th hour, the 59th minute and the 59th second on Tuesday evening, November 4th!
As Kim Gandy recently told us, "what-ifs" are unacceptable; volunteer today, Monday, election day, its not too late! Be part of history at the local, state and national level; here are a few ways: in LA, help make sure Mark Ridley Thomas gets elected to the 2nd District Supervisor seat; put Hannah Beth Jackson in the California Senate; work at the Feminist Majority Foundation's phone bank for No On Proposition 4 (call 310 556 2500); watch and share the latest No on Prop 8 video and send it to everyone you know.
Do whatever you can in these remaining days! It's not over until it's over, so don't stop now!
