The purpose of the Letterwriting group is to regularly communicate in writing with organizations, public officials, and other entities to express our concerns and support for the ideals and goals of the Rise Up Frederick grass-roots group. A list of potential targets of letters will be posted on the website, sent to committee members, and developed and maintained as a result of the focus of other Rise Up workgroups and of the presenters at our monthly meetings. We will provide key talking points and contact information. This committee has no need to schedule additional meetings.
When appropriate, the following message, or something similar, will be included:
Donald Trump and his administration are dismantling our Democracy and erasing traditional American values. We insist that our local, state, and national leaders defend our Constitutional processes, demand honesty and accountability in government, and protect equal rights for all. Rise Up Frederick is a women-led grassroots organization that connects like-minded people in Frederick County who want to protect our Democracy and our hard-won freedoms.
