OAP ROCKS!!

It was the first time we saw a real organized effort, close enough to get involved with, to gather caring people and hear about ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, in great detail, from experts. We had to go. "All About Alec" was a spectacular success put together by Oregon Area Progressives in Fitchburg, WI (no they're not lost... this Oregon is a local community). Great speakers, superb content, and an outstanding bunch of wayyyy more than 200 folks showed up!

Getting on the road from Saint Paul at 3am was the easiest thing to do, because we thought it would be a great thing. We weren't quite right... it was BETTER!

Here's a rundown on the conference, plus links to information and sources.

Monday was the day for Indigenous Peoples, and they came to share their story and their art. It was incredible.

It was awesome. In the end, over 1800 people signed in! And surely there were hundreds more who stopped at least for a while, who did not officially register. Pictures below.

I am going to the streets. I will show my self. Claim this cause. Do the right thing. To be right.

It was right to march for civil rights, more than 40 years ago. It was sad and necessary to walk behind that cortege in 1968, to be spat at and be cursed and to cry for it. All of that comes back now, and I have to go. Again. Still.
