One Week In

We are now on our 7th day of Rise Up for Five (shall we call it RUFF as in we are a barking dog?).  Several things have happened since out first update.

More people:

• Have registered for updates

• Have joined us in protesting daily.

Additions to the website:

• Daily Threats section: we are now posting a daily log of that day’s government actions which threaten to move our democracy toward an authoritarian state.

• Other Resources:  the website now includes a section on additional/alternative ways to take action.

WhatsApp:

               Folks have started to use the WhatsApp community pages to post pictures of themselves Rising Up for Five and talk about what they did for that day’s action.

               It’s a great resource for catching up on what other’s are thinking and doing.

               And if you are standing on your own wondering if this is doing any good, it’s a great way to connect with others who are rising up at the same time.  You can even be on WhatsApp while you are standing outside.

               Being new to WhatsApp I have found the pages somewhat confusing.  There are two pages…a general page and an announcement page.  You can use either one, but your post is more apt to be seen in the general section where most people seem to be posting. Probably goes without saying, but I will post any announcements in the announcement section.

IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY, PLEASE REGISTER FOR UPDATES ABOVE.  The information will not be shared.   

Thanks for acting in defense of our country.
