| A Trump Resistance is Born! |
Many of us watched in stunned disbelief that so many of our fellow citizens had been seduced by, voted for and elected a 34-count convicted felon, misogynist and insurrectionist to be our next president. For a lot of us it was a gut punch that left us reeling! But now it's time to regain our balance and fight for this democracy that the cult-leader Donald Trump has managed to steal from us.
The Trump Resistance movement is already organizing and swinging into action, even as Trump and his core team assembles and plots to destroy democratic norms and the government organizations that defend them. The Resistance Movement needs our help, both as volunteers and as donors. Below is a list of articles describing the prominent organizations that are now up and running. Check them out and then connect with them and give what you can of your effort or cash to support them. Nothing less than the future of the country is at stake!
"Here are 26 organizations fighting Donald Trump that you can donate to"
Quoting:
"A second term under Donald Trump endangers the well-being of LGBTQ+ people, women, immigrants, people of color, and everyone else. It will also most likely lead to more censorship and rolling back protections against climate change. But the activists and organizations advocating for these causes aren't going quietly — they're getting louder. Many have resisted during Trump's first term, and are ready to do so again..."
"New wave of movements against Trumpism is coming"
Mission:
"Our job is to translate outrage over his agenda into action toward a truly transformational vision."

Mission:

CALL Your Congresspeople!
READY TO ACT? Use and share these tools with your allies to help influence your member of congress:
Find your House of Representatives member (& CALL them!!):
Find your Senator's contact info: (& CALL them!!):
Fun fact: I was once told by a congressperson's staffer that they assume that the opinion expressed by a single caller is shared by about 10 other constituents who are simply not bothering to call... but may bother to vote on the issue! So make that call!! It really counts!
