I attended yesterday’s rally at Senator Padilla’s office in downtown LA. Despite the drizzle, several hundred people of all ages and ethnicities were gathered, holding creative signs. We were warmly welcomed by staff members, who were prepared. With clipboards and pens in hand, they had printed sheets on which we could express our concerns to the Senator. We had an hour to do this, as all letters were being uploaded and sent to the Senator by 5:00 eastern so that he could read each one. All that, with barely two days’ notice. It was so reassuring that our voices were actually going to be heard. Today a very small group of Indivisible members are having a call with Senator Schiff’s top aide. It is a start, and those small actions give me hope.
