We had planned a meeting for this Monday at Forest Hills Park, but temperatures are supposed to be in the low-mid 90’s, even in the evening when we are scheduled to meet. Given these conditions, we have decided to postpone the meeting to Monday, June 1st, 6:30-8pm. We will still plan to meet at Forest Hills Park Pavilion, but an indoor location will also be reserved in case of similar weather conditions.

Personal Action
More Actions
Belatedly, many Trump voters are returning to rationality. To further that renaissance, we should politely ask questions of our Republican-voting friends and family. We know that personal conversations can lead to change, and these questions should resonate with most any listener, especially when asked without anger or tension, and with understanding and decency.
Reference Christians: “Is there an exception to ‘Thou shalt not kill’ for masked ICE agents? Or when those killed are on boats at sea?”
Reference African Americans: “Why isn’t spreading vile videos placing the heads of any Black Americans on the bodies of chimpanzees considered racist by today’s White House?”
Reference the rich: “Why would elected officials cancel nearly finished infrastructure projects, especially when those projects could ONLY decrease the costs for electricity in a time of high inflation?”
