On Friday, Sherry, Dave and about a dozen other supporters had a chance to explain the importance of this issue to almost all 76 representatives and senators. Divestment Day coinciding with Valentine’s offered the opportunity for some attention-grabbing signs and cards, which were hand-delivered to each office. It was good to get the issue out there, and plant seeds so our legislators will remember divestment whenever it comes up.
On Saturday, Jeff, Ryan and a group of rain-proof citizens rallied to speeches by Mike Mottle and Camilo Mora, then hand-wrote letters to Congress.
