Day Against Denial
Mia Reback and Barbara Ford leading chants and song.
The 350PDX rally at Senator Ron Wyden’s office on January 9th was led by Mia Reback and Barbara Ford with an enthusiastic group of climate aware citizens. The slush and drizzle seemed to energize the crowd who declared Trump’s climate denier nominees ‘Not Fit’ to serve. Speakers listed a few of the many reasons that make clear why Rex Tillerson, Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, Rick Perry, Andrew Puzder and Jeff Sessions should not be confirmed. The crowd called on Senator Wyden to oppose their appointments.
Three representatives, Adriana Vos Andreae, Daphne Wysham and Sandy Polishuk met with Grace Streatton of Ron Wyden’s staff. Grace Stratton gave assurances from Senator Wyden that he and other Democrats are working to be sure all the nominees are properly vetted. Senator Wyden does not support any of these climate denier nominees. Grace Stratton encouraged us to each call his office and that of Senator Jeff Merkley to voice our personal position. In this way we show support for our Senator’s positions. This will help them make the case for careful evaluation of qualifications and fitness to serve with the Republican majority in the Senate.
Call to Action:
- Ron Wyden’s office at 202.224.5244 or 503.326.7525 and
- Jeff Merkley at 202.224.3753 or 503.326.3386.
Tell them you support them in their opposition to Trump’s cabinet nominees. Your call in vote does matter to the Senators and to future generations.
