ActDefy

The Trump Administration’s ceaseless push against presidential norms and the rule of law, along with the GOP’s support, affects us all with feelings of despair, frustration and anger. As much as it can feel so, we are not powerless. 

 

Beyond protesting, we can still vote. When there aren’t elections, we can work to sway elections and impact policy decisions. Let's take back our power.
