If anyone wants to adopt different neighborhoods to cover please do! For more information and instructions, please contact Deborah at: [email protected]

WofA No Kings 3 Bridge Brigade

We would love to see you at one of our No Kings 3 Bridge Brigade. We put important messages on bridges, visible to drivers below as peaceful, lawful and joyful protests. Building community and being joyful flies in the face of those hoping we become afraid and isolated. Time and time again history has shown that as the numbers coming out to peacefully protest rises, attempts at authoritarianism cannot hold. To join us, select your preferred bridge from the link HERE (scroll down). You will receive information and updates by email, so don’t forget to check the email you use to register. See you on a bridge!

WofA’s Spring Online Auction 

As you know, “Good Trouble” costs money–from postcard stamps to bridge letters, craftivism supplies and care bear bags, space rental, insurance, and Zoom subscriptions! In recognition of these costs and to build our community, WofA is putting on an online auction this May and we are looking for contributions. Here are 3 ways you might contribute:

1). Donate a service, lesson, or experience: Services are a great type of donation, as there is no specific price tag for their value. 

2). Donate an item: This can be something you make (a homemade scarf, necklace or other artwork); a brand new item in your home you no longer want; or an item you purchase from a local store or restaurant (gift card or merchandise).  For options 1-2, fill out THIS FORM 

3). Donate directly: From $5 to $100 (or more!), if you prefer to donate directly, we can also use some portion of funds to create auction items such as a basket of spa goods or “Good Trouble” gear. Donate HERE

Above all, we appreciate your TIME in this fight for democracy and there is no obligation to contribute. We are grateful for each and every WofA member and your solidarity in this time!

Changes to USPS Postmarking – Impact on Mail-In Ballots, Tax Returns and More – one more reason to vote Early In-Person!

The USPS recently changed its postmark policy (late 2025) so that most mail is now postmarked at regional processing centers, not when dropped off, meaning the date on the stamp can be days after mailing, potentially causing late penalties for tax/legal deadlines. To get a true date-of-mailing postmark, you must go inside a Post Office and request a free manual postmark at the counter; otherwise, mail time-sensitive items much earlier or use online/drop-box options to avoid issues.
