I read the news and it’s all so bad! 🙁 Everything is bad.

What to do?

For me it’s calling/emailing my reps. It feels pathetic. I know that when many do this, it isn’t meaningless, though. (If it might help, here is a post with a possible strategy). I’m asking for removal of Trump from office, removal of gender listing on passports altogether, and doing whatever it takes to end the government shutdown and resume payments to people who need them.

Then there is reaching out to one’s circle of vulnerable people, and then there is donating when one can. At least that’s what comes to mind for me. (Here is a post with some of my favorite aid organizations).

I know there are so many other things that can be done; do what fits you. It helps me to sort of have a checklist to turn to, because it’s so overwhelming.
