Hop below the mysterious orange object to catch up with what's been happening in Dallas
Wow, I'm sorry for the silence, my family had an emergency hospitalization the day of the last meet up and between that and the consequences of it I've been busier than a Republican taking campaign contributions to the Kochs!
First a review of our last meet-up on May 23rd. It was small; me and our lurker from the
April meet up. With that said, we had a great conversation about LGBT rights.
There has been a lot happening in the Dallas area in the meantime...
The ugly and racist incident in McKinney this weekend has blown up nationally. There are demonstrations and marches outside of the McKinney Police Department going on tonight. If you are interested in getting involved, I'm honestly not sure where to send you although you can contact the local NAACP offices here. The nearest offices to McKinney are the Garland and Dallas offices. If you have other, better, suggestions for getting involved please post in comments and I will add their info as I can.
On a much less serious note, the Dallas City Council repealed the law requiring stores to charge an environmental fee for plastic bags. A sad step backward for the greening of Dallas.
I hope to see you at our June 27th meet-up!
