chhotiiThis morning I don't think I'm ill; I had the energy and concentration to focus on doing my bit of campaigning for the Harvard Forward slate of candidates. To-done so far this morning:
- edit my "why I'm supporting Harvard Forward" letter again
- apologetically email the Climate Action Brookline, being abashed for not dealing with the Markey campaign of late, asking him to share my letter with any Harvard people he knows
- slog through LinkedIn to search for people I know who went to Harvard, find several
- research and inquiries to find email addresses for them all
- email the letter to all my contacts
- tweet about this
- dm a couple of people who might need help figuring out how to vote
OK, enough on that project. I'm not connected enough to pull a lot of weight on that particular campaign. And it's not like electing these candidates is synonymous with saving the planet. The Harvard Forward platform is pro-divestment; whether divestment is the ideal strategy to do something about energy usage and climate change is a question on which reasonable people can reasonably differ. But, to make noise about that issue whenever possible, and to normalize bringing up climate change as a central issue-- that's the point.
