In better political news, I signed all the ballot initiative petitions I could get my hands on yesterday and it looks like we have a pretty good chance to get abortion rights restoration on the ballot here. AND all the campaigns I want to support are preparing to do postcards. 🎉
On the off chance anyone on BlueSky is near me in Northeast Arkansas/Craighead County, here’s where to go to sign the abortion petition and more. The deadline is THIS WEEK.
Thrilled here to hear that the voucher initiatives didn't get anywhere near the number of signatures they needed for the ballot. Lots of excuses focused on inadequate fundraising to get paid gatherers, but...if a campaign has enough support, you don't need paid gatherers.
