If you are upset about what's going on but aren't sure what to do: start by calling your reps. This app 👇 makes it easy.
Standing up to authority is a muscle. If you haven't had to exercise it before, this is a great first step. I promise DOING one thing will make you feel better & more capable.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️

Writing contest fees, worth it or not? I just paid over $20 for a submission and am kinda regretting it. But there’s something about a contest that feels more urgent or special 🤷♀️
