The For the People Act would help
Two GOP walls are now inactive: Donald Trump’s stupid and wasteful border wall, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s stone wall against H.R. 1, the For the People Act, which was introduced as the first bill in the 116th Congress. It passed the House in 2019, but McConnell immediately said it’s “not going to go anywhere in the Senate,” and it died on his desk.
But 2021 is a new time for “we the people,” and a huge setback for the reactionary GOP.

Jan. 1 parade to celebrate ‘welcoming’ ordinances
On New Year’s Day, Lebanon’s “welcoming ordinance” goes into effect, joining similar policies in Hanover, Norwich and Hartford. All four municipalities will then have a policy that instructs local police not to collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, in addition to prohibiting them from racial profiling.
The organizers and activists who worked to pass these policies are planning a celebration in the form of a vehicle parade to connect our municipalities in this time of physical distancing and to recognize that we are all one community.
