Leopoldo & Charmaine
As younger versions of ourselves, we engaged in a number of social and political actions over the years. Now, considerably older and not as spry, we look for opportunities to support people who are putting their lives and bodies on the line. Since the November election, we have donated money to organizations fighting in the courts and other campaigns on behalf of people adversely affected by this administration’s policies, including the ACLU, Immigration Defense Fund, Vote Vets, Democracy Forward, Planned Parenthood, Immigrant Defense Project, Avaaz.org, and the Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center. We joined our local West Seattle Indivisible group to get alerts on upcoming civil action and participated in the Old Tyme Adults for Democracy protest right here in West Seattle with about a hundred other old tymers like us! We also plan on participating in the No Kings Day, on June 145h, a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption.
