Our Diagon Valley Ohio chapter recently held a Postcard Party to write to their reps about the importance of literacy, access to the Internet, and IMLS funding. What were some of your favorite ways to celebrate Accio Books? Keep up the great work, everyone!

The "Ides of Trump" postcard campaign: A day after, and he's still here

IDES OF TRUMP. For months a project called the “Ides of Trump” has been organizing people to meet in small groups to compose postcards to the president. The idea was to mail them en masse on Wednesday, March 15–the Ides of March, about which the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was famously warned to beware. (He didn’t take the warning, and, in Shakespeare’s play, was stabbed to death.) “Rough estimates based on groups, Tweets, photos, and comments suggest we’re sending A MILLION POSTCARDS this month,” the group proclaimed on Facebook. “We will show the man, the media, and the politicians how vast our numbers are and we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing the President that he’s fired!”

The postcards probably won’t arrive for a day or two, so we don’t know yet how successful the campaign was, but as of Thursday, Donald Trump was still president.

Wow! @flaviosity ・・・ Dear Trump…over 350 postcards! #yourefired #dumptrump #postcards #postcardparty #womensrights #humanrights #takeastand #feminist #activist #whitehouse #idesofmarch#idesoftrump #peace #protestbypostcard #theides #theidesoftrump @theidesoftrump.official @theidesoftrump

From @chaosedits ・・・ Started my postcard campaign today. I'm using whathefuckjusthappenedtoday.com to organize my grievances from Day 1, and will probably print address and hashtag labels to save time. I have a lot of special postcards to write @theidesoftrump.official . #TheIdesOfTrump #TheIdes #notmypresident

A NEW TAKE ON TRUMP. President Trump held a campaign 2020 rally in Nashville, as protesters and counter-protesters converged in the streets outside the arena where Trump delivered his remarks, including this Trump voter, according to a Guardian reporter:

Other anti-Trump protesters chanted against the shouts of pro-Trump ones in the most Southern way imaginable, by chanting, “Bless your heart!”

THE BROOKLYN RESISTANCE. New York City Council member Brad Lander has taken up the mantle of the organizing push-back against Trump in Brooklyn, reports The Forward.

“Since November, [Lander’s] office has functioned as the de facto command center for anti-Trump organizing in this wealthy corner of Brooklyn. Lander has held monthly organizing meetings at Beth Elohim, and while members of the New York City Council normally can’t fill a classroom, these are not normal times, and the place has been bursting with liberals desperate to resist a president who seems ready to burn their most deeply held beliefs in a big bonfire on the White House lawn.

“For leadership they’re turning to Lander, who has emerged as a sort of air traffic controller for this generally affluent, generally liberal, generally Jewish set as they seek outlets for their activist energies.

“Lander, a 47-year-old former community organizer, has been at this work a long time. Now, after a career of tugging at the social consciences of Brooklyn’s elite, he’s getting a bigger response than he ever could have counted on. It comes after years of building power in the city council, in part by appealing to conservative constituencies outside his Park Slope base. But as he turns back to his organizing roots, he’s wrestling with the complex baggage of a municipal power broker thrown into the politics of local activism.

“‘The organizing that’s taken place in the wake of the election is extraordinary,” Lander said. “It’s among the most remarkable organizing that I’ve seen or been a part of.'”

Last night’s postcard party was just what I needed after an exhausting and emotional day. Crafting, community, and the feeling that you’re actually *doing* something about our current political mess. And did I mention beer? . . #postcardstovoters #postcardparty #postcardactivism #craftivism #NoIDCNY #bluewave #defenddemocracy #gotv #getoutthevote

Action 1.3

This action expands on the thinking of 1.2 and ventures outside the Emily Carr community. Who out there is mobilizing people in creative ways to generate problem solving ideas? To allow citizens to be active. I began to research meetup groups, and found the Citizen’s Climate Lobby, which happened to be hosting a “postcard party” this week. The organizer thought that the craft element would stand out when delivering our messages to city council, not to mention that people might come to the event because, hey, it might be fun! It worked, I think, as 12 people sat around a table in a bar getting to know each other as we stuck stickers and glitter and wrote messages to Christy Clark with crayola markers.

And that right there is a woman’s life in a nutshell.
