Week One of #45: Read, Act, #Resist

January 27, 2017 By anotherjennifer 34 Comments

read. act. #resist

It’s been a week since Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, and I am overwhelmed by it all. Executive orders, alternative facts, rogue twitter accounts. I want to look away, but if we ignore it, we are essentially approving it. So after a very long first week in office, I wanted to share a roundup of some articles, food for thought, ways to take action and lighter stuff to keep sane. It’s by no means comprehensive, considering everything that happened this first week, but it covers a lot. I hope you will take the time to read and understand what’s going on and then take some action that goes beyond sharing a Facebook post or sending an email.

I will continue to do this for as long as necessary. We can’t look away.

    Thanks for this Jennifer! I confess to being very overwhelmed right now. There is so much to fight it is getting ridiculous. I hope we organize better at ONE. I have joined many groups and my inbox is swamped.

      It is all very overwhelming, but we can’t look away. We will continue to organize and fight. My inbox is crazy too. I’m looking forward to us collaborating and making sense of it all.
