I spend a lot of my time at legislative hearings, city council meetings, vsarious municipal boards like the zoning board. These dfasys my focus is changing the economic developmenty process so that itworks for communiities not the billionaires. The Trump agenda will let the despoilers run amok. One way to stop them is to demonstrate that it is more profitable to run clean. But clean economies only comew about through community involvement, so I am wroking to provide more tools for communities based on what I have learned along the way.

Yes! Attending and speaking at public, especially government, functions is one of the best ways to influence officials, leaders, and other members of the community!

Hello David and thank you for writing. I just wanted to let you and the people who follow you know about an economic blackout that is planned for February 28. I’m calling in to buy nothing day. I think writing to Congress people and calling their offices can be very effective in showing the will of the people. However, I feel there’s even more power in an economic blackout and later a general strike. Many are calling this a constitutional crisis and I believe that’s true. So it seems like we are almost beyond talking about voting. This seems surreal but I think many of us will have our voting rights taken away especially women if things continue as they’re going in Washington DC. I hope you and your followers will join us on February 28 and buy nothing at all. Thank you.
