For God's sake, do something!

Shouldn’t it be enough to doomscroll and rage click?! Doesn’t muttering angrily to yourself fix the ills of the world? In a way, yes. But in another, more accurate way, no. As Obama said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” Personally, that sounds exhausting. And, honestly, I was kinda hoping someone more inspiring than me would come along. But I can’t look my kids in the eyes and know that I did nothing but kvetch while their future was being stolen. And the truth is, there are more good people than creeps in this country. We just need to be louder than they are. Louder, smarter, more resourceful, more energized. So, please, get involved. Inspire others to join you. And if you can’t inspire them, guilt them, break arms if you have to. 

Below are some ways to get involved. It’s just a starting list and will be updated. Feel free to suggest other worthy causes and dig in. Whatever inspires you, just do it. It’s less than nine months until the most consequential election of our lifetimes. Get busy.
