You Are NOT Powerless

Find ways to engage.

Even though we know that “flooding the zone” is designed to knock us off our feet, confuse us, and make us feel hopeless, it’s not working. We’re not despairing; we’re angry. And we’ll use that to our advantage. Forget legacy news because they’re not covering much of the real story, but if you look here on Substack, you’ll see the ground we’re covering and the battles we’re winning.

But, if you feel lost and helpless, find ways to engage daily. Taking action will empower your mindset to keep looking forward to continue. You’ll become a perpetual motion ACTION machine. And what you contribute will make a difference.

Seek out local or national organizations to fight the corruption of the orange felon and muskrat. Organizations like the ACLU, Vote Forward, and Indivisible are great places to start. Write letters (as an epistolarian, this one is my favorite), donate time or money to help the cause that is most important to you.

There is no activity too small as long as it supports our fight to retain the integrity of our democracy and our place as a leader in the world.

Rage on.
