Democratic Party needs to get back in touch with its grassroots. We need getting better informed and engaged and help with networking with each other to build solidarity and motivation ! !

How will DNC leaders start reconnecting with alienated voters unable to make political donations? How can you help connect & network with each other?
May I suggest: A Democratic Party online Forum. Why not?https://citizenschallenge.blogspot.com/2025/02/democratic-party-caucus-forum.html

Are you familiar with Chaco culture history?
Can you recommend any trustworthy sources that include up to date info?

Painfully true.
Or biggest sin is thinking we can ignore those realities, our sins will catch up to us.
Western mankind needed to openly recognize and challenge its own Self-absorbed thinking and Self-serving actions, never considering the costs filling our expectations requires. We failed.

It is significant that abortion is as old as civilization, even Jewish scripture presents the Abrahamic God's perspective on the crisis in a forgiving humane manner."

"Life can force impossible situations upon people, who are we to judge her? Why not some compassion for the most difficult decision in a person’s life?
Only the woman has the situational awareness, along with the moral and ethical standing, to decide the future of the growing fetus within her.

" why doesn't a woman deserve the Right to Her Own Self-Defense - along with Sovereignty Over Her Own Body?
Why wouldn't a just society clearly acknowledge: “A woman's life is more precious to her existing family, and to society, than an unborn potentiality.”?

"A fetus certainly is human, but it’s a potentiality, a person in the making, the fetus does not take on the mantle of personhood until those first breaths of life-giving air start
infusing its lungs and arteries and tissues with oxygen.

A segue: (1/5)
"Birth and death are part and parcel of our human condition, they can't be moralized out of existence.
A pregnancy is never a guarantee - and this is not about the fate of the fetus. This is about who has the most realistic and moral ‘standing’ to make such a fateful decision.

It took a lot of bravery and willingness to sacrifice.

Too true, and Carl Sagan died nearly three decades ago (1996), why were so few paying attention?
The Founding Father's of America's made it clear that democracy required an informed and engaged citizenry.
Yes, and citizens who care.

So true, and we spent decades ignoring the GOP as they were brainwashing folks with lies and misplaced anger.
Where do we go from here?

What's the plan for dealing with the next four years?
When this election feels like game over?
If we aren't changing minds we are losing.
I mean the Democrats did so little while they still had some power, what now?

Mayita shared this photo taken in the sweet potato fields of California. Her youngest daughter wanted a graduation photo in the fields to show how proud she is of her mom being a farm worker and how hard her mom had worked to invest in her children’s opportunities.

Sorry, I participate at CFI Forum (center for inquiry), now bluesy. Not ready to try another before getting a handle on this one. I do have a gmail account at, "citizenschallenge..." If you want to give that a try.
Though, now I'm getting the feeling you are selling something, and I'm broke.

Thank you for that excellent suggestion, I will look into it.

Hello Sophia, Thank you for your interest.
"Owner" is big word, but yes it's just me here, unfortunately.
This is my third version of my InDefenseOfWomen postcard - a lot of rewriting.
It's the least I could do, considering what a wonderful difference women have made in my life, and who I am today.

What can we do?
I understanding building community, but we are so spread out, and the internet has gotten so poisonous.
