CO-05 CO Dems put out a fundraising email targeting Jeff Crank for U.S. Space Command moving to Alabama from Colorado Springs. This remains my sleeper race and CO Dems directly fundraising/connecting it to Crank seems like a good sign. Jessica Killian the Dem challenger is raising solid amounts and seems to be actually putting up a fight here.
I participated in my first ever Labor Day Parade. I'm not an active member of any union, because unfortunately my gigs are all non-union and have been for years, and I'm no longer an adjunct professor anywhere, but in these times, it's important to demonstrate for workers' rights. I was temporarily adopted for the march by the American Guild of Musical Artists, which represents singers like my girlfriend. We were directly in front of the Local 802 American Federation of Musicians contingent (my union that I have a leave without prejudice from), so we were accompanied by a great jazz group throughout the march from 44th St. to 67th St. on 5th Avenue. This was much better organized than the demonstrations I've been taking part in, with each union having its own starting point and everything being carefully sequenced. SAG-Aftra and Actors Equity were in front of us and the WNBA Players Association was further behind us. Spectators, many with signs or union shirts, waved at us or sometimes shook their raised fists. The only people who were trollish were a small contingent of Sliwa supporters watching on the sidewalk. The police were very calm - I think they're very used to this march - and kept traffic well separated from the march.
