I have been trying to find or create a demonstration against cuts to Social Security since the first office closures were announced. I belong to People Power United. I have attended all local demonstrations (President's Day, National Park Protest) and participated in the economic blackout on February 28. I have been to online and phone meetings with my Congressperson and the Washington State Attorney General. I have contacted the county Democratic Party. I cannot get traction on this. If we wait until more harm is done, we may not be able to save it. I would love to see a large action on this.

SAME!! It is so hard doing all this stuff and not getting traction within my personal community :( Thanks for doing everything you're doing. It helps to know that there are others out there like me doing this - we might feel alone but we're not.

Do you happen to have any connections in Port Angeles, Washington? I moved here in October and know few people.

Keep an eye open here and on Resistance Rangers. There were protests near Olympic yesterday. Here's what's happening in the area.

I was AT the protest yesterday. I have been at every one I can find. None of these are near me (I don't drive and can't travel).
