Katherine and Cassandra (from the above photo) will be on the zoom with to talk about growing up in the movement, Voces, and working in the 2020 campaign. Fabi, Alejandra, and Alan – who we all met at the Ask Them Anything Voces post a month ago – will be on the zoom as well, but I wanted to highlight the new voices. I’m excited to hear what they have to say!
If you’re interested, they can share opinions about Wisconsin politics and projections about the 2022 elections.
The Balloon Juice thermometer for Voces de la Frontera has been climbing up, and we hope to have some good news to share on Thursday’s zoom with Voces.
Goal: fund a field organizer coordinator position (45k) for Voces de la Frontera Action
In case you want a little background before the zoom, here’s a link to a NYT article from a hundred years ago Sept 2020: What Will it Take to Vote in Milwaukee?
These BJ peeps RSVP’d for the previous zoom time, but now it is rescheduled for this Thursday, 7:30 pm blog time. (aka Eastern time)

If you would like to attend, please chime in below and also send me email so I can send you the link to the zoom!
Otherwise, totally open thread. There’s just no other way to announce anything but in a thread, but that doesn’t mean the thread has to be about this, other than to RSVP.

Is this thing on?
Roger Moore
@WaterGirl:
Nope. It’s impossible to comment right now. This comment is a figment of your imagination.
WaterGirl
@Roger Moore: I wonder what the lowest number of comments on a thread is. This thread could be a contender!
MomSense
Oh cool. I’m glad we will be able to meet on Thursday.
WaterGirl
@MomSense: I think you in particular will be super pleased at something you will hear on Thursday.
Spanky
@WaterGirl: Sadly, I think Dave’s AM posts occasionally top out at 0 or one lone comment.
H.E.Wolf
Looking forward to Thursday!
PS: I’m just a plain ordinary Wolf, not like them fancy folks with an “e”. :)
NotMax
Open thread?
Had I the means would love to track down those still living among these kids from 1966 and solicit their reactions today to their (many rather darkly tinted) prophecies then.
Another Scott
Enjoy the Zoom! Looking forward to reading about it. :-)
In other news, …
He’s very talented.
Cheers,
Scott.
phdesmond
think i’ll attend the actual Zoom.
sab
@Spanky: Dave has said he doesn’t care about few comments. He knows he has many devoted lurkers.
WaterGirl
@H.E.Wolf: oops!
Not an ordinary wolf at all :-) but I will concede that you are better at spelling your name than I am.
Lapassionara
I would like to attend, but what is blog time? Eastern Standard? Greenwich Mean?
WaterGirl
@Another Scott: That is awesome. I am saving it for the front page sometime this week.
WaterGirl
@phdesmond: yay! Can you send me an email message so I can reply with the zoom link once it’s set up?
WaterGirl
@Lapassionara: Sorry, I thought everyone knew that blog time is Eastern time. I’ll fix that up top.
WaterGirl
@sab: Yeah, On the Road doesn’t get a ton of comments, either, but about 1,000 people view each OTR thread.
Another Scott
@WaterGirl: It was via IamHappyToast
He’s very talented too.
Cheers,
Sott.
sab
@WaterGirl: I don’t zoom, but I did contribute a while back.
WaterGirl
@sab: I appreciate that, and I know Voces does, too! I do zoom without video, and a person could zoom by phone and listen in if desired.
NotMax
@WaterGirl
There’s always the cat filter….
;)
WaterGirl
@Lapassionara: Can you send me an email so I have something to reply to with the zoom link?
H.E.Wolf
@WaterGirl:
Thanks for the fix!
Maybe Wolvesvalley and I should start a band or something. :)
Torrey
I’d like to attend, please.
Also, I’m wondering whether it would be possible to do some kind of update on how Four Directions is doing at some point.
WaterGirl
@Torrey: Great! Can you send me an email so I can reply with the zoom link once I have it? my nym at balloon-juice.com
Yes, we can certainly have an update from Four Directions at some point. I just talked with them earlier this week. Maybe we’ll get 3 under our belt, and then ask for updates ?
WaterGirl
@H.E.Wolf: I believe she is (re) learning how to play the flute!
MomSense
@WaterGirl:
Oh I hope this means we have a donor who will match contributions. ??

PRAISE THE [PASTA] LORD AND PASS THE [VOTING!!!] AMMUNITION, I may be WORKING [!!!!!] on Thursday afternoon my time, but if am free and home, would love to attend.
