Happy new year, from the UN





Entering 2020, a presidential election year and the start of a new decade, there's so much uncertainty on so many issues. Personally, I'm most terrified of climate change.

This year comes with significant opportunity, though. Here's a video from António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, addressed to young people around the world. We have a lot on our to-do list, yet we are also, as Guterres states, "the greatest source of that hope".

Also, if you've got some time, check out this piece by Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times, making the case that "This Has Been the Best Year Ever" for humanity overall, since extreme poverty is going down worldwide.

Happy new year!

How to lobby a member of Congress

Image
Lobbying is one of the most intense and effective advocacy actions! And it's no wonder- a face to face conversation with your member of Congress gives both parties the opportunity to be heard and understood, and speak in depth on their positions and room for compromise. There’s an idea many people have in their heads of a cartoonish, fancy-suited man with a briefcase sneaking around Capitol Hill and bribing politicians to represent his interest. I, too, think of that image with extreme distaste. Yes, there are paid lobbyists, but that’s not what I mean by a "lobby meeting" with volunteer constituents . “Lobbying” as a general concept gets its name from people who used to wait around in the lobby of the office building, hoping to snag a few minutes or even precious seconds of a lawmaker’s time to promote their cause.

Advocating with a Sensory Processing Disorder

Image
So, I have a sensory processing disorder (SPD), and it makes me really sensitive to touch and sound. Sometimes, this greatly affects what kinds of advocacy actions I can and can’t do, so I wanted to talk a little bit about what having sensory issues means for my experience with advocacy. Like, this school event? (photo is pre-covid) No. absolutely not. Even if we’re not in a pandemic, you will not see me in a crowd like this. [A cheering crowd forming Ws with their fingers runs onto an indoor basketball court, celebrating a win. Signs in the background say "Bomber Territory"- our school's mascot is, unfortunately, a bomber plane.] First, a little explanation if you’re not familiar with my SPD: loud noises, unexpected noises, and certain types of sounds put me in a fight-or-flight state. So does physical contact with other people. Sometimes, I get sensory overloads when it’s all super overwhelming, and my brain feels so scrambled I can’t recognize what’s happening around m

Submitting a public comment? Why??

Image
I just did an advocacy action I've never done before. Hooray! When I heard about the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) limiting access to lifesaving hormone therapy for transgender people, I was really worried. This Instagram post I found said it would explain what we could do to stop it, so of course I was intrigued. Instagram post from @transmaryland: Yikes! The DEA is planning to stop telehealth prescriptions for meds like testosterone I assumed the action alert would be, as usual, a phone call. They'd tell which office is in charge, and maybe there would be a script for what we should say to them. I've made phone calls to federal and state offices before. I've written letters to Congress. ... But what the  heck  is a public comment, and why would you want me to do that? Instagram post form @transmaryland: We have until March 31 to stop this process! Submit a comment to the DEA explaining why it's crucial to protect telehealth I'm writing this blog post t
