all eyes on her

Mary Gay can outwork anyone, and the GOP knows it. Pennsylvania is the center of the Republicans’ strategy to regain control of Congress but Mary Gay is organizing hard across the commonwealth to make sure that doesn’t happen. And that puts a target on Mary Gay. Now the primary is just a …

Did you see the IPCC report?

Earlier this month the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest report on the climate crisis and what we must do to avoid the worst ravages of future climate breakdown. The report was sobering, to say the least. It’s easy to feel hopeless when reading climate crisis n…

We’ve still got work to do

Gun violence has become such a big part of our lives, invading the places where we work and play, our schools, and our places of worship. All the way back in 2001 I was fighting for gun violence prevention as a private citizen when I marched with the Million Mom March and we were still fig…
