MVDC Actions - Week of 03/02/2025
Compelling full page ad from the 3/2/25 Sunday New York Times:

Republican Grant Grissom, who describes himself as an 80-year-old with blue collar Philly roots, took out a full page ad in the 3/2/25 New York Times to share an impassioned plea to Trump suggesting he resign.
It’s very well written and articulates what so many of us have been feeling.
This week’s first assignment, if you’re so inclined, is to share the ad widely on social media with the hashtag #TrumpResign.
If you’d like to send Grant Grissom a thank-you note (or a contribution!), the ad includes the email address: trumptimetoresign@gmail.com
If my quick internet search is correct, an ad like this costs somewhere between $100K and $250K!
This week’s sign in opportunities…
