Because **gestures at everything** I have changed my patient charting to include the client's outlook on a continuum from hopeful ---->nihilistic.

So impressive and awesome.
The point is, folks in Burien got organized, got on the ground, knocked on 7000 (!) doors, and now we will have a progressive majority on council for I think the first time ever!?!? (Burien has only been incorporated for 32 years).
Big thanks to Vanessa from @workingfamilies.org for her leadership!
