Ready, Set, RESIST
As long as Trump is in office, we’re goign to need to do a lot of resisting. It will make your life easier to get yourself organized and ready to resist:
Look up your two Senators and your House Representative to find their contact information.
Add them as contacts in your phone now. 📲I recommend adding the numbers for their DC offices as well as their district offices as it can often be tough to get through to the DC office.
Follow your three Congresspeople on any social media platforms you use.
This should only take you about five minutes, max. ⏲️ And it’s much easier than waiting for things to fall apart and then trying to move to another country in a panic. Promise!
➕Extra Credit: Create an Activism Cheat Sheet like this one. Feel free to make a copy of this googlesheet and fill in your own representatives. Having these things written down in one place takes some of the work out of advocating in the future plus it makes it easy for you to encourage friends, family and neighbors to join you by simplifying the process for them, too.➕
Also super important — remember to:
Go outside 🌅
Get some exercise 🏃🏽
Breathe 😮💨
Hug the people (and pets) you love 🫂
Cook something tasty for dinner 🍽️
Drink water 🚰
Avoid doom scrolling ❌📱😨❌
Go to bed at a reasonable hour and read a book if you need to wind down 🛏️😴
