It's exciting to see the stirrings of Spring leading up to Earth Day to May Day, state conventions and candidates hitting the campaign trail. Remember to support each other, as many in our community are coming back to street canvassing after an extended hiatus forced by the pandemic, while keeping yourself and others safe by following responsible COVID precautions.
