Alianza Agrícola: GVI has pledged to help the children of immigrant farm workers in our area. Alianza is providing us with a list of families the organization supports. We are hoping to provide a gift for each child, along with a stocking filled with goodies (e.g., candies, tiny cheap toys, clementines). For more information and to provide support (donations, shopping and wrapping assistance, etc.), please contact Shân via text (917-763-7215) or email (wordsmitheryeditorial@gmail.com).

ACT NOW

RESIST – INSIST – PERSIST

• Trump is exploiting the tragic shooting in Washington, D.C. to try to further expand his anti-immigrant crackdown by threatening to halt immigration permanently from much of the world, deport legal immigrants and denaturalize American citizens. Alianza Agrícola is working with local allies to set up a rapid response network in Livingston County. If you have not signed up as an ally, contact Shân via text (917-763-7215) or send her an email.

• Stop Big Tech from running wild. Tell Congress to kill the AI regulation ban in the NDAA.

• Trump’s plan to massively expand offshore drilling is open to public comment – Tell him HELL NO before January 23rd. (language here)

• There seems to be no motivation beyond political posturing, and the intoxicating idea that a leader can display absolute power by unleashing the world’s most destructive force. But nuclear policy cannot be driven by ego. Restarting explosive testing would shatter international consensus and provoke a global arms race. Tell Congress: Ban nuclear-explosive testing. Block Trump’s reckless plan and prevent a new arms race now.

Postcard Campaign

Mailing physical postcards is one of the simplest, most effective ways we can reach voters directly—with clarity, truth, and a personal touch that cuts through the noise. Whether we’re encouraging new voters to register, reminding infrequent voters what’s at stake, or helping our neighbors understand how their representatives are showing up (or not) for them, these short messages make a real difference.
