They don't tell you the good things. There are no holidays for the days they didn't start wars we'd demanded they not start. Remember just a few weeks ago when the White House and Congress were talking about sending fighter jets to Ukraine? It's hard to find any news report about the fact that they haven't -- at least thus far -- done so. Better keep telling them not to -- just to make sure.



Every day without nuclear war should be reported and appreciated as a miracle, because policies that increase the risk of it are rolling right along. We've been working to educate and agitate with this new podcast featuring Daniel Ellsberg.

David Segal, above at left, is one of the Congressional candidates RootsAction has been supporting in primaries. Candidates we've supported who've already won their primaries have included incumbents Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Cori Bush, and newcomers Jamie McLeod-Skinner, Michelle Vallejo, Greg Casar, and Summer Lee. We're also supporting Brittany Ramos DeBarros on August 23, Jamaal Bowman on August 23, and David Segal on September 13.



Another good thing that those in power don't tell you is when they've heard you loud and clear and plan to do what you're demanding, but are waiting to do it closer to an election even knowing that the delay is causing significant suffering. This may very well be the situation right now with the Biden White House and student debt, because forcing people to resume debt payments just before an election would be one of the dumbest ideas ever dreamed up by Democrats. That doesn't mean they won't do it, so let's keep the pressure on.

Roots Action Civic Education Buffalo or RACE Buffalo is taking on the undemocratic and opaque process of redistricting the city of Buffalo, opening up the process, creating public debate, and winning popular, and even corporate media, support for a fairer redistricting proposal than what the current city council has proposed. Learn more here.

Meanwhile, we're building more support for, and gaining more media coverage of our Don't Run Joe! campaign.



We cosponsored a webinar last week with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. Watch it.
