Some of you might be interested in this meeting on Sunday in Dayton. It came in an email from Joy Schwab who lives in Beavercreek, works in Dayton, and is very active in a women's rights alliance:

MEETING SUNDAY DEC 4 from 2:00-3:30 to discuss the impact of Trump presidency on women & what we can do, including the latest on the Women's March on Washington on January 21, the day after Trump's Inauguration. Come & join the discussion this Sunday at the Missing Peace Art Space at 234 S Dutoit St, off 5th St across from Stivers School for the Arts.

YOUR FIVE MINUTE ACTION OF THE DAY!

Reposted from private group:

An action item from a trusted source:

"I just got off the phone with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) - (202-512-5500) in support of Senator Warren's request to audit the President Elect's finances for conflicts of interest. I asked the person who answered what the most effective way to be sure my support counted. She said to email a new address set up specifically for this issue, as well as the two administrators. Their names are:
   

·         Katherine Siggerud -email: siggerudk@gao.gov

·         And Timothy Minelli -email: minellit@gao.gov

·         As well as: congrel@gao.gov.

Suggested text of the emails is one sentence: 'I'm writing in support of Senator Elizabeth Warren's request for an audit of our incoming President Elect's finances, to prohibit conflicts of interest that would prevent him from carrying out the responsibilities of the office without corrupt influence.'"
