Hi. I hope you’re taking good care.

Gif of Ted Danson on The Good Place saying "There's a lot of tension in the air right now"
OK technically this is from a different show, but HAVE YOU WATCHED A MAN ON THE INSIDE? The sweetness! The laughs! (gif via Giphy)

Item 1

Pick one or all of these and read, absorb, act:

If you are a cis person and you have Instagram ➡️ Handy dos and don’ts to help you support trans people right now from @dctransexpansive

If schools are on your mind after that Executive Order last week…

➡️ Trans-Affirming Schools Project Resource Guide (PDF from Advocates for Youth)

➡️ Trump’s reign of terror on schools and how we fight back (Eve Ewing, In These Times). If you appreciate Ewing’s writing, you can preorder her new book Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism and get 25% off on Bookshop.org with code EVE25.

Item 2

There’s a special election on March 4 in my forever home, Prince George’s County, MD. The Working Families Party (and also my dad) endorsed Aisha Braveboy.

In PG? ➡️ Make a plan to vote!

Not in PG? ➡️If you can rally for a phone banking shift (I know. I know.), call a few voters on Braveboy’s behalf, today from 4-6pm ET or next Thursday at the same time.

‘Til tomorrow,

JCS
