Thinking about civic duty — from the PTO to the presidency, so many people dislike the job that’s being done, often complaining that it’s always the same insiders, doing things the same old way. And that’s true, and when you take that truism and cross it with histories of oppression, you’ll notice that there are
My library board campaign has reached its goal of raising $5000, and I am just so grateful and pleased and honestly, a little stunned. I don’t really know what to say except thank you. I’m about to sign the form and send it in for Friends of Mary Anne Mohanraj to become an official PAC

Thanks to Carollina Song for putting together a packed event at the library the other night, with activists Ai-jen Poo and George Goehl, centering on where we go after the women’s march. I hope Paul Goyette will forgive me borrowing the pic he posted of me and Karen Kurtz Fischer — it’s much less blurry
