35] –  People For the American Way [alerts@pfaw.org] is inviting you to a protest on Wed., Oct. 4 at 5:30 PM ET in front of the National Portrait Gallery, 8th St. NW & G St. NW, WDC 20001 for the “ALEC Extinction Rally.” For five decades, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has shamelessly served as a conduit for large corporations seeking to quickly advance their self-serving agendas through statehouses across the nation. ALEC's model bills go far beyond financial gains for these corporate entities - these legislative blueprints pose severe threats to our environment, racial justice, and the vitality of our democracy. Join People For and its allies to protest their actions and the harmful policies they’ve helped advance across the nation. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/pfaw/event/582368/?utm_source=PFAW

36] – On Wed., Oct. 4, 18 & 25, join a phone bank from 6 to 8 PM ET at the Woman's National Democratic Club, 1526 New Hampshire Ave. NW, WDC 20036, supporting candidates in Virginia's critical state elections! These sessions will consist of phone banking AND post-card writing. If you plan to phone bank, please consider bringing a charged laptop and headphones with you.  RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/552412/?followup_modal_context=nonexclusive_newsletter_more_events_of_type
