I vote but am not enthusiastic about any candidate, but spend more time on the propositions on the ballot. No candidate embraces Catholic moral and social teaching. I ended up voting for Kamala Harris despite her fervent pro-choice stand as well as pushing the LGBTQ “rights” agenda because I believe she would do less damage than Trump. Pretty pathetic reason to vote but I don’t want Trump in the White House again. That would be a disaster.
As for Israel, I totally support people protesting the U.S. supplying weapons to Israel with no strings attached. But I would like to see them protesting at Israeli embassies and at AIPAC gatherings and offices. And I would like to see people protesting at foreign embassies like Russia and other countries which oppress their people as well as having stockpiles of nuclear weapons. I would like to see articles about people showing support to Ukrainians,
Pretty bummed to see you won't be bringing back the calendar-- that was pretty much the reason I subscribed. I, like the other readers, want to know how to be involved in the movement. Knowing what is happening seems like a pretty good answer to that!
Oh well. I like what y'all are doing, but I'll be honest, that was what made me open each email. I'd love to know if you ever decide to bring it back.
Nothing is gonna work for everyone. Glad it's working for others!
Well, we will definitely be promoting upcoming events -- but probably just once, in the Roundup section, rather than every week. A good example of this would be the item this week about LA's upcoming vigil. I think Renee just wanted to pare things down a bit.

Palestinians, and other victims of violence. It just seems too one-sided to only protest our government’s actions.

I understand wanting to pare down. And I don't mean to be a downer, I was just bummed to see it go. Love what y'all are doing.
