As you may have noticed, there is a groundswell of righteous anger and determination rolling through the country today.
As you've seen from current diaries, several progressive organizations are encouraging rallies today and tonight all across the country.
Because it's just THAT important, I'm drawing more attention to it in my own little neck of the woods by posting the links and details here for Chicago.

If you do not see a rally near you, create one yourself. Each of the above rallies started with one person.
If you are not in Chicago, then look for a rally near you. If there isn't one near you, create one.
Do it. Do it now.
Go.
