Join a March & Get Ready To Fight Back

Short version: Find and join a March for Women tomorrow. 

Fitting that this inaugural post should be on the day of he-who-shall-not-be-named's inauguration. I've started this site/blog/list/whatever to share simple ways YOU can help fight Trump and the Republicans' hateful, divisive, destructive agenda. Yes, little old you are essential to the success of this effort. You may not know exactly how a bill becomes a law or who your members of Congress are or who your state Senator is. None of that matters!

What matters is that you have the guts not to look away from the hateful, scary train wreck that began on November 9th. We can't afford to bury our heads in the sand -- the stakes are too high. Our rights, our laws, the very fabric of our nation, and the integrity of our democracy are at serious risk.

And once you start to get involved, you will find that it feels GOOD! Yes, you may be enraged a lot of the time but you will be channeling that upset into DOING SOMETHING to stop the enemies of peace, love, equality and freedom. It's empowering. So let's get started!

Step 1: If you're not already planning on joining a March tomorrow, find one right now.

You don't have to go to the huge one in DC - there are tons of sister marches taking place all across the country. There's even one in my tiny little town of Woodstock, NY.

So find one, register! (this helps the March organizers plan and also enables them to report to the press more accurately which is good) and march. Someone may have even made an extra pussy hat you can wear...

Here's a list of what you should and should not bring to the March - yes to your cell phone, water and a Sharpie but no to your huge purse or backpack.

And below is a list of sign ideas if you're moved to create one.

As Nike says, Just Do It. The alternative is unacceptable.
