PLEASE SHARE – BELL RINGING AFTER INAUGURAL OATH COMPLETED *** I awoke
just now with an idea in my head I feel compelled to share, in hopes we
residents of DC can make our “voices” heard on Inauguration Day,
expressing hope and joy for both our community and the nation.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As
a result of the deadly assault on the Capitol on January 6, our
beautiful city is currently a fortress, with both it and our country
held captive by a deadly pandemic and searing social and political
divisions.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Fortunately,
in accordance with our Constitution, a new president will be sworn in on
January 20, 2021, offering our nation an opportunity for healing.
However, crowds that would normally stream onto the mall to witness and
celebrate that important moment will be held at bay, prevented for
security and health reasons from partaking in one of the most enduring
and prominent rites in our democracy.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">What
I envision is at the moment Joe Biden completes the oath of office that
we – the residents, churches and institutions of the nation’s capital –
collectively raise our voices loudly enough to usher in the occasion
with the celebratory spirit it deserves. Bells, musical instruments,
even pots and pans can create a beautiful cacophony of sound strong
enough to waft across the city and onto the National Mall and Capitol
Hill, as well as into the homes of viewers across the land.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Four
full minutes of joyous music should ring in the new presidency, wiping
away the old and signaling a new direction for our nation.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">How can you help?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">--
First, spread the word! January 20 is only four days away. Please share
this idea with friends, family, neighbors, your church or synagogue and
community groups. Post on social media and through neighborhood message
boards. Ask local media to share the idea.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">--
Secondly, do your part! Be ready to make some (good) noise! Find a
bell, dust off an old musical instrument, gather your family, and be
ready to sound off the moment the oath concludes.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Let’s
do this! Together, working together in a spirit of community, we can
give our county a beautiful gift to mark the Inauguration of the 46th
President of the United States on January 20, 2021.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best,</div><div dir="auto">Edith Shine</div></div><div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div>
