in the face of this terrifying new reality and growing evil, it’s more important than ever to stand by each other, to strengthen our communities, and mobilize to create positive, sustainable change. grassroots organizing, community support and engagement, crowdfunding and donating, volunteering, and, most importantly, working locally is how we can prevent the greatest amounts of harm.
go volunteer to protect women just trying to go to the clinic, donate to trans resources and organizations, educate yourself on ways to be a better ally to disabled people, organize a food drive or a clothing swap, consistently and frequently reach out to your local politicians and congress members to fight for your rights, and find ways to make changes, big and small, that can benefit your fellow human.
kindness is not easy, empathy is not easy, and the path to our sociopolitical landscape’s recovery is not easy, but it is necessary and starts with you, me, all of us. there are more people in this country, and the world, who are good and kind and care than those who don’t; it’s time to prove that.
don’t give up. don’t back down. our fight is still on and we need all hands on deck.
