‘DELAWARE CALL’ Adds to Progressive Strengths in Delaware

DelawareCall.com Community, Solidarity and Justice
A grassroots movement of people pushing for social and economic justice has been growing is size and strength in Delaware. Today marks another step in that growth as "Delaware Call' brings together some individuals and groups who have been kicking ass in various sectors of the community organizing vineyard. This is what they say about it:
The Delaware Call is an independent media group that engages in investigative journalism, political analysis, and Delaware-focused commentary. We work to uncover and uplift local community news and stories that are rarely, if ever, covered by existing media outlets. Are you looking for information about what goes on behind closed doors in the halls of power? Would you like more context explaining how things operate here in Delaware? Do you want to find out about those who exercise political and administrative power in our state? Do you want to learn how you can be involved in influencing those leaders or becoming one yourself? Then follow the Delaware Call!
This is why they are doing it:
In the late 19th century many major American cities had a half dozen or more daily newspapers. Even into the 20th century Wilmington had both The Morning News and The Evening Journal. (Although each was owned by factions of the DuPont family.) The Morning News discontinued publication in 1989, and we are left with one major daily paper. A paper with a staff which, over recent decades, has been decimated by layoffs, early retirement packages and debilitating rolling furloughs. The shrinking workforce and narrowing scope of our local news outlets is troubling when considered in the context of community organizing, social justice activism and grassroots politics. Community work requires a well informed community. Our state is becoming less and less informed, and this project aims to address this problem directly.

Two posts I’ve been holding off writing

1) There is going to be BIG shakeup in Delaware politics if Biden wins. You guys, we're talking special elections OUT THE ASS. Naturally I'm not writing that post because I don't want to jinx anything. But I do think Biden is going to win and he is going to poach some people from Delaware to work with him in DC... But who? And no...Not Coons. He will have lost the primary against Scarane. But who? 2) Trump won last time by suppressing the Dem vote. In addition to the criminal machinations, he made an unpopular Hilary Clinton DEEPLY unpopular. I'm not sure the same game plan works this year. I may never write this post. What's the point? Everyone knows who Trump is. That's the only real issue in this campaign. Do you support a draft-dodging, criminal with a meager intellect or not?
