A few facts about USAID:
1. It's only .6% of the federal budget
2. Gutting its programs will cede American leadership abroad to China & Russia.
3. It's not up to an unelected billionaire to decide its future.
Only Congress has the power of the purse.

Hello Monday.
I just called my government representatives. You should to. I used 5calls.org which made it very easy to organize my thoughts into a cohesive message.
Serious, make your voice heard. Call your reps. Leave a message if you cannot speak to a live person.
Resist.

If you only share one thing I have ever written, let it be this. Right now there are people planning to go stealth, to try and fit in, to wear a uniform both in order to survive and to help others survive.
But the longer you wear a uniform, the more it can become a part of you. Just ask Major Kira.

The bond between a young shackling and witch forms very early.
Some think it's the witch that determines the growth and style of the shack, as the decor tends to match the personality of the inhabitant.
But the relationship goes both ways, and soon both find what makes them happiest together 🖤

![Dear Principal _______
My child, ____, is a _____ grader at and we have
loved our time here. I am deeply concerned about President Trump's 1/29 Executive Order, "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schools" [sic].
Our school has a diverse student population that includes transgender and gender nonconforming students.
Adhering to the guidelines of this executive order would grievously harm these students, betraying the trust of them and their families alike.
Will you please publicly reaffirm our school's commitment to celebrating, protecting, and respecting all students and their identities, and be clear with the DoE leadership that we need them to resist this attack on students and teachers' civil rights, human rights, and First Amendment rights? If there are other ways you can think of to stand up for our students, please let me know. We're ready to stand with you and our wonderful school.
