Cleveland Codepink Triumvirate

We awake and spend the day acquainting ourselves with Cleveland.

We use the Internet to catch up on our political research. We go to the Acorn Project Vote office and pick up registration forms. We go to the United Labor office and we're asked to run a voter reg table at a school event that night. We Vigil at the corner on Coventry in Cleveland Heights. There, I meet Tony, who works with the hip hop voting project. Sam gets interviewed on the Channel 5 news; I get it all on tape. Ariel and I go to the ACT- America Coming Together- office on Superior and 36th St. We have a Codepink table at the education event at the union headquarters. We get these huge, pink Balloons, hear a great high school chorus, and register voters and hand out codepink info.

The triumvirate codepinkers- Sam, Ariel, and I- have registered 11 voters by the end of the day.

We head back to Ann's house, where we are immediately incorporated into a beautiful Sukkot party in the Sukkah (temporary shelter built to celebrate the harvest season) in Ann's back yard.
