I think I'm going to have to cancel my membership. It's disgusting that the Wedge enjoyed the fruits of political activism when Trader Joe's tried to muscle their way into the block -the Wedge's members and local businesses and community rallied around them. So they're ok with *that* kind of activism - the kind that protects their bottom line. They're just fine with looking the other way when it comes to women's rights, though. Too political.
