Recently I have been taking this action when I get a text asking me for more money for act blue or a democrat. I respond with the following: How about you guys stop asking us for money all the time and try to solve the issues a different way. 

My partner Sousan and I participated in the “No Kings” protest in Seattle’s Cal Anderson park and in the 70,000 person march! We carried this banner.

In these times I have often found it overwhelming when considering what I can do to help. I want to save the world, of course, but the advice I’ve received again and again is to start small. So I’ve sent letters to my elected officials in the state of Washington, attended gatherings like Hands Off, written poems to writers on the inside,

I send Thank You postcards to Republicans and others, who stand up to Trump.  I also follow the site, Chop Wood, Carry Water  https://chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com and write our Senators and Congresswoman, Pramila Jayapal, when appropriate, asking them to take action, especially around the injustice to immigrants.
