Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1157 - #GetOuttheVote
21 Oct, 2024
GET OUT THE VOTE
"Voting is as much an emotional act as it is an intellectual one."
Monica Crowley
"Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country, and this world."
Sharon Salzberg
"Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender."
Keith Ellison
My father would take me into the voting booth with him
when I was little.
He also took me house to house raising
Dollars for Democrats.
He was gone by the time I turned 30,
but I feel him with me every time I vote,
even if there's no booth anymore
and no lever to pull to ensure privacy.
I took my mother to vote every single election
after she stopped driving,
even when she was in an assisted living residence.
Never would we pass up the opportunity to vote.
Voting is very emotional for me.
And the plea for everyone to vote starts now,
because voting in this election
is already happening.
Doing research for a play I'm writing,
I have to tell you
we are not the only country that becomes
way more
progressive or regressive
depending on who gets into office.
This is the way of the world.
Your vote matters.
Whatever your reasons,
whatever your objections,
you're not a part of our political process
unless you vote.
All politics is local,
all politics is national,
all politics is global.
Wanna see four short Propaganda Plays to Get Out the Vote? Happening this Saturday 10/26 online at 2pm ET. Watch from anywhere. Just send an email to propagandaplaysGOTV2024@gmail.com and you'll receive the Zoom info - let me know if you have any trouble registering.
I directed the last piece, The Constituent by Yvette Heyliger (who is also producing the event).
Early voting starts soon everywhere as well--that day here in NYC.
Make a plan.
Vote all the way down ballot.
(If you're in NYC, vote Yes on Ballot Proposal 1 and No on all the rest--
if you don't know why and want to, please research or ask me to send you links!)
