(W)all of Us

I was pointed to this very beautifully-made site (started by two women) called (W)ALL OF US.

It promises to give concrete actions to block harmful action that Trump takes and resist the tide of bigotry that his campaign has emboldened.

So your action idea for today is to go sign up with these gals!

In their own words:

Today's Action Ideas: 1. Get fit for the fight!  So, if you haven't already, step away from the cacophony for a little while.  Put that oxygen mask on yourself so you can help others.

Every day since the election of November 9, 2016, I have found inspirations and actions that I can take to fight to keep our civil rights and voice my solidarity with peace-loving people.
