What Now? That's the question millions of angry, frustrated, concerned citizens should be asking themselves. We're at a fever pitch right now, so how do we channel this energy to make a difference?
Robert Reich (robertreich.org) offers a list of ways to resist Trump (The First 100 Days Resistance Agenda). Or you can check out Dailyaction.org : "It’s perhaps the easiest and most targeted progressive campaign out there: You just text the word DAILY to the number 228466 (or ACTION), and you’ll get a text message about an urgent progressive issue in your area, based on your zip code. If you want to act, you listen to a short recorded explanation on it and from there, you’re routed directly to your member of Congress or senator to weigh in.
“In 90 seconds, you can conscientiously object and be done with it,” reads the Daily Action website. “You can make the phone calls when you’re walking to the bus stop, or waiting in line for your morning latte. One touch of the phone and you’re done.”
Is calling your legislator effective? Here is a link to an article on the value of calling: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/us/politics/heres-why-you-should-call-not-email-your-legislators.html?_r=0

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.”
