Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
When you struggle under the avalanche of news about the shocking actions of President Trump and his administration, remember the old adage: “All politics is local.”
Local elected officials will be the first line of defense against the Trump administration and its pro-corporate agenda. For example, mayors are often the decision-makers when the private water industry comes to profit off our public water systems. City councils can act to protect residents from federal, civil, or human rights rollbacks or the barrage of fast food marketing inundating communities. State legislatures are already leading the way in setting renewable energy goals, despite the fossil fuel industry’s opposition. Moreover, when an elected official -- at any level -- stands strong to vocally, vociferously resist the Trump administration's agenda, they help show that the administration's agenda is not normal. They will inspire others to stand strong, too.
