How about a "Notice" section or a bulletin board? [View all]

We are retired, own a fuel-efficient car, don't mind sleeping in a sleeping bag if necessary and still have our health---relatively speaking.

We have protested/marched/sat-in/canvassed from DC to Tampa to Selma to Indy and St. Louis. We would love to do more, but there doesn't seem to be any one centralized source of "what's going on where".

If a national candidate needs help or two more warm bodies are needed to sit/stand/march face to face and toe to toe with the Forces of Darkness and Ignorance, we can manage that most of the time if we have a couple weeks notice.

What I envision is a simple, no-frills description of who, what, when and where plus any unique or special instructions that might be helpful. A link or links to sites giving more details would be a bonus.

Any chances for an "Activism Bulletin Board---Upcoming Opportunities"?
