*Things you can do now:

	EVERY day: Call your elected representatives-- this may be the most effective way to make a political impact! 5calls.org can guide you through the process. Or if you'd prefer, you can FAX or email a message to Congress!
	Help save public broadcasting! If you or your kids/grandkids were raised on Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, etc., or if you've geeked out on Masterpiece Theatre (Downton Abbey!), Doc Martin, or other PBS programming, or if you're life has been enriched by any of the multitude of amazing NPR programs, PLEASE help save public TV and public radio by making (or upping) a donation to your favorite local PBS or NPR station. Don't let those who want to "make America dumb" win!
	ASAP: If you're a proponent of free speech and independent media, and you want to make a statement about the fascist (and illegal) firing of Jimmy Kimmel, consider discontinuing your Disney and Hulu subscriptions. And amplify your statement by donating those subscription fees to PBS or NPR!
	You can make a difference! Sometimes there's an overbearing sense of hopelessness, but it's so important to engage, in ways that make sense to YOU, to stop this wave of injustice and insanity, and bring about the changes you want to see! Here are Robert Reich's 5 ways to fight fascism for guidance.
	Ongoing (monthly): Join Act for Democracy for their in-person monthly get-togethers, to discuss local issues and how to make a difference!
	Keep yourself and your family safe by following the science-based guidance of real physicians at The American Academy of Family Physicians or similarly accredited organizations.
	Looking for ways to fight climate injustice? Here are a few suggestions on how you can make a difference: Get involved with the League Of Conservation Voters (LCV) to help advocate for policies that protect our environment and our democracy! Take Action with the Sierra Club to show your support for environmental issues. Current petitions include fighting for clean energy, protecting and expanding Green jobs, and so many others!
	Dissolving USAID will lead to increased illness, starvation, and death in low income countries. Want to help fill the void and assist developing countries with building sustainable food sources? Check out Heifer International for ways that you can make a difference!
	Make an effort to talk to your friends and neighbors, and make sure they're okay. These are scary times, and some handle the stress less well than others.
!!	Invite your like-minded friends and family to ACT OUT!
