Week Seven of #45: Read. Act. #Resist

March 10, 2017 By anotherjennifer Leave a Comment

read. act. #resist

OK, so the sounding presidential thing didn’t last long. Week seven’s highlights really just showed us that #45 needs to step away from the Twitter. For real.

Here’s my weekly roundup of articles, food for thought, ways to take action, ongoing resources and lighter stuff to keep sane. You can take a look back at week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5 and week 6.

As per usual, 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. If you have something to add, please do so via a comment.

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