This week activism took a back seat to an ear infection. It was hardly life-threatening, but it cost me a couple of nights’ sleep before the antibiotics finally kicked in. And it reminded me of how much we often take for granted, from ready access to doctors and medicines to loved ones who can pick up the slack when we’re ill. That’s worth remembering when we hear political leaders concern trolling on whether we can ‘vet’ Syrian war refugees.
I wrote to my Congressman again. It doesn’t matter about what because the only response I get is his latest newsletter. Since that’s all GOP talking points… well.
I went to the OFA summit in Washington on Monday, Nov. 9th. I got to see and hear the President speak, along with a few upcoming leaders in the OFA. The President was great. He said that his biggest role after leaving the White House will be that of Citizen. Six people from our group went. Four of them got to shake the President’s hand. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach him.
