Hi Cspam. I don't usually post here, but BYOB is a no-politics zone because "chill" and "politics" don't really mix, so I'm venturing out of my home forum to share some information with you.
Since the election I've been what I like to call "really pissed off" and I'm channeling all that "really pissed off" into actions. I've amassed a list of resources I'm going to share with you in case you're also "really pissed off" and want to do something with that pissed off besides chain chugging HoHos and bitching at people on Facebook. (Hey I'm not judging - that was my whole November)
-----
Here's my list. If you have other resources please post them and I'll add them to the op.
https://www.indivisibleguide.com - These guys are getting huge and very active. I'd say they're a good place to start
https://www.moveon.org - Has been super active. They don't just have petitions to sign, they've started hosting "Resist Trump Tuesday" protests every Tuesday so you can look up protests in your area to participate in. They've also partnered with some other groups for larger initiatives and hold conference calls on Sunday nights to talk about accomplishments and areas of focus going forward.
https://www.wall-of-us.org - you can sign up to receive weekly emails with actions to focus on (letter writing, phone calls, etc)
https://www.grabyourwallet.org - is a group who is boycotting businesses who financially benefit the Trump family
https://www.swingleft.org - This group is focusing on swing districts for the 2018 elections. You enter your zip code and they assign you to your closest swing district. So far they're in their organizing stage so they haven't had any work for us to do, but as we get closer to the election there will be action items to do to help win those seats back.
https://www.solidaritysundays.org - is a great group for feminists against trump. They have local groups all over the country that meet one sunday a month. It's a great way to meet like minded women who can become your protest buddies.
https://www.townhallproject.com - lists upcoming representative's town halls
https://www.resistancecalendar.org - Tries to collect major resistance events actions from all these different groups into one location.
https://www.roganslist.blogspot.com - You can sign up here and get regular emails with phone calls to make, postcards to send, and interesting things to read
https://www.countable.us - Follows and reports on what congress is doing in a way that even a politics newb like me can follow.
https://www.5calls.org - Gives you 5 suggested calls to make every day. They even include the phone numbers and a suggested script to make the call easier
https://www.peoplepower.org - if you like getting in on the ground floor of something this is your project. The ACLU is starting a group of grassroots volunteers to take the fight "not just to the courtroom, but to the streets". I don't have any more information as they are rolling out their program with a livestream on March 11.
-----
My intent with this thread is for us to share our efforts to help encourage others to get involved. Please share what you're doing, even if right now it just involves hiding under the bed eating HoHos.
What about those of us who just want to support our president and help him enact his policies?
