GraceUnderPressure<p>Hello America. I was really happy to see you out on the streets today. If you couldn't make it, I hope you were able to work as the support network for someone who could.</p><p>We did awesome work today and we should all be really proud. It takes guts and energy to stand up. However, this is just the beginning of taking our country back from the oligarchs, the incompetent, and the cruel.</p><p>Now that you know that you are not alone in your frustration, what's next?</p><p>-- Boycotts work: Spend your money at businesses that still support your values. Shun those that don't.</p><p>This is a good starting list<br><a href="https://www.maga-collaborators.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">maga-collaborators.net/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>-- Unionize: If you are not already part of a union, start talking to trusted coworkers about forming one. There are good tips here, surprisingly a .gov that's still up: <a href="https://www.workcenter.gov/step-by-step-guide/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">workcenter.gov/step-by-step-gu</span><span class="invisible">ide/</span></a></p><p>-- Build community: Now you know that there are a lot of like-minded people in your community. Hopefully, how you feel less alone and less intimidated by your neighbors. Start getting to know your neighbors and community better. Loan tools, share food, and make friends.</p><p>-- Organize for the next demonstrations: These protests were organized and largely successfully self-policed by volunteers; people just like you. Find your local 50501 or Indivisible chapters and get involved.</p><p>-- Look out for the next opportunity to peacefully demonstrate and make sure to show up. One big day of protest is awesome, but we need consistent pressure to make change. This is a marathon.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/handsoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handsoff</span></a> #5051 <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Indivisible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indivisible</span></a></p>
