Chop Wood, Carry Water
Chop Wood, Carry Water by Jess Craven is an almost-daily political activism newsletter that tells you how you can make a difference by taking 5-7 minutes worth of EASY actions. Jess also rounds up the GOOD news, and there is more than you might think! From the Jan. 20 letter:
“Since there’s still been no action on arresting Jonathan Ross let’s call the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office at 612-348-5550. Tell them you want (Democratic) County Attorney Mary Moriarty to issue an arrest warrant for Jonathan Ross. Tell them that if she won’t use the authority she has, she should resign and let someone else do the job. If you get voicemail, leave a message. If the line is busy, call back.
If you can’t get through by phone, email citizeninfo@hennepin.us or write to 300 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55487. Find Moriarty on social media at @MaryMoriarty or the official office account @HennepinAtty. The office is also on Facebook at facebook.com/HennepinAttorney and Instagram at @HennepinAttorney.
One prosecution won’t fix everything. But it plants a flag. It proves there’s still a rule of law. Not just a ruler.”
Remember: our representatives work for US! And they need frequent reminders.
