We’ve been trying to get out more – networking with activists, meeting candidates, a rally now and then. We even went to a Tea Party meeting, but that’s another story. We’ve met a lot of people, most of whom weren’t doing anything like this a year ago. We’ve learned a lot.
But the casual conversations almost always come down to something like this: “blah blah I don’t know if I’m making a difference. I’m probably not doing enough.” Enough is enough.

KEEP DEMANDING TRUTH
It its review of Republican Senators who questioned Comey last week, the conservative National Review praised their “high minded pursuit of the truth [and] good sense not to commit themselves to the defense of indefensible actions and statements by Trump.”We hope these Senators value Country and Constitution over Party. Maybe it helps when they know their constituents are paying attention.Need new talking points? Great suggestions at the bottom of this template.

Most of us have never lived through a time like this. We have much to do and it will take a long time. But there are many of us. This map shows just the Indivisible groups! This story provides an overview of resistance groups and describes the myriad ways people are getting involved.
Many people over a sustained time, nudging the needle a little bit closer to justice. It’s worked before. Do something.
