thisfinecrewA short update this week along with ongoing actions. For modding purposes please know I will be AFK for the rest of today as I'm traveling.
New Actions
Call Congress About the Partial Government Shutdown
New Info
Advertisers are leave Tucker Carlson's Show, and an update with more leaving
Report on vast scale of Russian disinformation campaign
Protecting the Mueller investigation
Encourage your senators to follow Flake's lead
Other Actions
Charity comic anthology to aid survivors of the Grenfell tower fire
Write Letters of Support for Muslim Girl Who Received Threatening Letters
Links on Voting Rights Movement
Donate to Honor Dr. Blasley as an Educator
Boycotting Fox: Call To Boycott Companies That Advertise On Fox, We Got A List and Petition
Housekeeping (the usual stuff)
Reminder that we now have a Friending Meme and a (locked) post where you can connect with others who live in the same area. We hope you find both of these posts useful!
We also have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.
As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.
Also if you need help with tags, PMredbird , who is our tag guru. Both tanaqui and I are very grateful for the help.

Date: 2018-12-24 07:33 am (UTC)I am a customer so sent them an indignant e-mail when I saw they were on the list of advertisers. As a UK person, it's not often I get a chance to usefully do this sort of thing re: US stuff, so I am delighted to have had the chance.
