I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Ken Trainor for his courageous column in the July 4th issue of Wednesday Journal, titled, “Citizenship means overcoming passivity.”
I agree with Mr. Trainor in that there is too much passivity in our country today when it comes to speaking out against all of the atrocities and lies of this present administration.
There are many groups of citizens who are speaking out against the war and this administration, and I highly encourage everyone to become an active member of one. I am a volunteer with the Oak Park chapter of World Can’t Wait which recently hosted a town hall meeting on impeachment at the library. We would like to welcome anyone who feels the same to join us at our meetings at the Buzz Café, 905 S. Lombard, every other Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. and/or on alternating Wednesdays on the corner of Harlem & Lake for our street actions. Please check out our website at www.oakparkworldcantwait.org for more information.
Thanks again, Ken, and keep writing those great columns!
