Siskiyou Democrats Rapid Response Bulletin Board and Economic Boycotts
Are you interested in what protests are happening nearby? Or is there a postcard campaign and you'd like to write a few? Is there an "action alert" where you need to make phone calls?
Visit our new RAPID RESPONSE BULLETIN BOARD often for up-to-date postings (scroll down for listings). This is a work in progress and depends upon help from all of you to send us information to post. CONTACT US to let us know about your upcoming pro-democrary activity!
If are interested in attending any of these protests, we are working on setting up a carpool process so you don't have to go alone! Just CONTACT US and don't forget to include your name and phone number! We'll work on getting people together to drive to the events.
ACLU.ORG'S "KNOW YOUR PROTESTER RIGHTS!" The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure you’re prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets.

Documentary Film: Not in Our Town: Billings, Montana
In support of the national United Against Hate Movement :
Watch the critically acclaimed PBS special that sparked a national movement against hate and intolerance tells the uplifting story of how the residents of Billings, Montana, joined together when their neighbors were threatened by white supremacists.
Townspeople of all races and religions swiftly moved into action. Religious and community leaders, labor union volunteers, law enforcement, the local newspapers and concerned individuals stood united and spoke loudly for a hate-free community, proclaiming in no uncertain terms "Not In Our Town!"

Postcard Writing Campaign To Support Diana James for CA State Assembly
Siskiyou Democrats are planning to send postcards to support Dianna James for CA State Assembly in Siskiyou and Modoc counties and we need your help!
We will supply the postcards, stamps and instructions on what is needed. Our plan is to send out the postcards just before ballots are mailed - around the end of September.
You will need to address the postcard and write a short message to the voter, then mail them.
If you are interested, please contact us HERE and let us know how many you can write.
Because the stamps come in groups of 20 - it is helpful if you state the number using a factor of 20 (e.g. 20, 40, 60, etc).
We will add your name to the list and get the materials to you sometime in early August.
Let's elect Diana James, who has been officially endorsed by the California Democratic Party
(CADEM)! Dianna is from Mt. Shasta and you can find out more about her platform on her website: diannajamesad1.com

Resist and Unsubscribe
Why Resist and Unsubscribe?
Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values. Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked. Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight.
First, we must recognize that the president is unfazed by citizen outrage, the courts, or the media. He responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers. In sum, the shortest path to change without hurting consumers is an economic strike targeted at the companies driving the markets and enabling our president.
