This afternoon I listened to Keeping it 1600 from The Ringer. It’s hosted by a group of guys who worked in the Obama White House and on the 2008 campaign.
They reminded listeners that talking isn’t action, changing your Facebook profile picture isn’t action, action is action. If you’re scared of what the next presidential term has to offer go out and volunteer your time and give money to the organizations that support your beliefs.
Worried about refugees? Find a local refugee support organization and give them your time.
Worried about Women’s health issues? Write a check to Planned Parenthood.
Worried about privacy and voting rights? Support the EFF and ACLU.
It’s time for all of us to find our own ways to make the world a better place. Go find yours.
