Links to activism for September 2019

[Brian]

I hardly ever post solicitations for donations in "Links to activism," but the e-mail I got from the Center for Popular Democracy's Maria Fund today moved me.  I started donating after the 2017 hurricane devastated Puerto Rico because the Maria Fund supported a plethora of community organizations on the island.  They seldom send out e-mail blasts -- maybe they should send more.  This is the browser version of that excellent e-mail -- check out the link to the Maria Fund's 90-page Impact Report for a bigger picture:

This is an inspiration, Brian. Coupled with Sean Penn's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last night talking about his Haitian relief fund now run mostly by Haitians (now helping in Puerto Rico) has me thinking I can help. Sent my donation to Maria Fund, yesterday.

The National Defense Authorization Act is probably my least favorite bill each year in Congress.  But this time, the NDAA has 19 provisions that would make this a better world, all listed for your representative in this customizable letter by Roots Action:
