From the Blog: Joyous Kwanzaa!
|
Yesterday (December 26
th) marked the beginning of the Kwanzaa celebration. These next six days will serve as a time for African Americans to gather and celebrate African heritage and African American culture with friends and family. Festivities will continue through January 1st.
Kwanzaa was founded by Dr. Maulana Kerenga in 1966 during the Black Freedom Movement. The name Kwanzaa originates from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili. The holiday was created with three objectives: to reaffirm and strengthen the roots between African Americans and African culture, strengthen the bond between Africans as a people, and reinforce
Nguzo Saba also known as the seven principles.

| Mueller Firing Rapid Response |
Donald Trump is publicly considering
firing
special counsel Robert Mueller, the person leading the Department of Justice investigation of possible illegal actions by Donald Trump and members of his presidential campaign, and the efforts to conceal those activities.
It would be a constitutional crisis for our country. It would demand an immediate and unequivocal response to show that we will not tolerate abuse of power from Donald Trump.
Our response in the minutes and hours following a power grab will dictate what happens next, and whether Congress-the only body with the constitutional power and obligation to rein Trump in from his rampage-will do anything to stand up to him.
"Nobody is Above the Law" rallies are being planned around the country in the event they are needed. There are currently seven locations planned in Vermont.
