After a brutal month of trying to catch up to the half million dollar Unity City / Moms for Liberty machine, we now have four of our seven working groups functional. The Declaration of Resistance has been published and is ready to sign. We have a new logo and our entire communication apparatus is about to be upgraded. The work groups are beginning to connect with the community. We managed to hold last nights meeting the day after Trump's attempted Assisnation and in the middle of a lightning storm with flooding and still got the work done.

Page in development. Much more information has already been developed and we'll be gathering it together here. Until then you'll find plenty...

I'On July 4 Celebrati'on. Some.of the Trumpers dislikes our wokeness and flag. Almost everyone loved our beach bus information and the gold doubloons we handed out in our pirate costumes. The bouy with the blue star was memorial for Julia.

Twenty years ago I'On was by far the most progressive white residential community in Mount Pleasant. Culture and civic life bloomed. We had 10 I'Onissimo! concerts per year. We had famers markets, bike races, a lecture program by residents for residents and a massive end of summer childrens water festival.

After the SC backlash to Obama, the civic talent began to leave for blue states and cities. The wonderful community life catspulted property values up over 25% a year before 2007. Artists and writers were replaced by investors.

It's been two years since the amphitheater was destroyed in a windstorm. The wreakage was finally cleared away, so we don't have concerts in front of the ruins as we did two years ago. However our music has ended and the echo has faded so that only those with strong memories can still hear it.

The house in one of these images is priced at 4 million dollars. You could watch the amphitheater events from your porch. Nobody did that yesterday. The porch was empty. That is how money works. It values everything and makes what really matters unobtainable to the lower classes who can't afford it and the rich who compete for rich stuff, which doesn't include using that porch on July 4..

We were planning to do some Shakespeare. I thought the play was going to be the Tempest. Looks like it might be Macbeth. Get a drink. Make a button. Watch your back.

During our brief visit to the sidewalk in front of Ed Kelly's house, we had this odd interaction with one of his like minded neighbors. There are indications there may be a cluster of Cristian Dominionists around where Kelly lives in Carolina Park. There are also some very nervous neigbors who were happy to meet us, but didn't want to be spotted talking to us. I'On isn't what it was 29 years ago and the head of Moms for Liberty also lives here, but we don't yet have an atmosphere of fear. Before you buy a house, make sure you know the neighbors.

Louise Brown got some of the recognition her 55 years of service as a social justice warrior deserves yesterday when WCIV helped share her story. We did the shoot next to the Denmark Vesey monument in Hampton Park. https://abcnews4.com/news/local/you-are-somebody-louise-brown-fights-anew-for-black-history-education-in-sc-schools-medical-university-of-south-carolina-racism-education-wciv-abc-news-4-2024 #

The mother of the movement is Louise Brown.

DiversCity Charleston makes first staff appointments. The kids think we're old and we're done. We do have 155 years of Lowcountry based Progressive Activist experienced, so we're old. We're not done. If we hit is hard, perhaps with their help, we'll be able to leave them a community they will be willing to live in. https://mailchi.mp/b7a57028adbe/diverscity-charleston-announces-appointment-of-chapman-brown-to-staff-to-protect-region-from-dominionist-takeover-attempt?e=f71545c879
