I want to invite everyone to what I think will be a really special zoom on Tuesday evening at 7:30.
Come and meet the folks from Voting Access for All Coalition! You will meet some of the people who founded this organization two years ago, and you get to meet all of the folks who are in the video below.
I know that “zoom” and “fun” don’t always go together, but I can’t help feeling anything but excited and inspired when I talk to the people from VAAC.
Send email to WaterGirl to get the zoom link.
Please join us in the zoom tomorrow!
Totally open thread.
I have only heard from a couple of people so far, and I really hope there is more interest than that, even with the site issues.
They are such great people, I would hate for them to show up and have almost no audience.
I would rather donate than zoom. If you put up a donation thread before the zoom maybe the account total may assuage the disappointment of the zoom participation.
I miss edit and pie.
Just sent you an email, WG. They seem like a good group who’ve identified an important and often overlooked niche.
@SiubhanDuinne
I think so, too. With 300,000 people impacted and the goal of getting 100,000 of them to vote in November, that alone could swing Michigan.
Can’t wait! And you can always attend the Zoom without speaking or turning on your video camera. WaterGirl isn’t going to call on anyone 🙂 This one will be particularly engaging.
@CarolPW
Yeah, I miss a lot of things on Balloon Juice.
@!Almost Retired
Good point! I don’t even turn on my camera. 🙂
I’m leaving tomorrow morning for my first little vacation in 3 years, otherwise I’d join you.
@FelonyGovt
Wow, 3 years! Congratulations.
@WaterGirl my first time out of Los Angeles County in 2 years. How dumb is that.
Like I told WG, when she told me about it, they seem like an awesome group, but Zooming (with 2 kids age 2 and under) isn’t really workable, unfortunately. I hope it goes well, though!
@CarolPW
I miss edit and pie.
We’ll get back there – eventually.
Looks like some ratfuckery has struck Michigan Rs https://twitter.com/mattshuham/status/1528905220801056770
I’m in. Now to set the reminder.
