EscInd: Weekly Action Plan for July 2, 2018
Welcome to Escondido Indivisible’s weekly action plan for July 2, 2018! Happy Independence Week! As Representative John Lewis said earlier this week: "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."
