We're all trying to figure out the best way to put all of this anger and frustration into action.<br />Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507116445461772524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-82581058080649086362016-11-15T22:37:18.410-06:002016-11-15T22:37:18.410-06:00I agree with all of this except the facebook one, ...I agree with all of this except the facebook one, actually. I'm sure it can be an echo chamber, but when you live in a deeply red area of a deeply red state, you can feel very powerless and alone with your deep blue feelings. But thanks to our new, local Pantsuit National group, I've connected with dozens of women in the last week who all live in my area, none of whom I'd met before, and we're all meeting Friday night to discuss how we can start making an impact locally. When you're in a neighborhood where every truck has a Trump sticker (and everyone has a truck), that group has been an empowering life saver when no one else I knew locally wanted to do anything about this election except celebrate it.

I think we always communicate and understand better in person (and phone calls are much better than emails and letters).<br /><br />I've also been reading as much as I can about how things work in the government (since apparently I wasn't listening during that part of high school!). I've been reading about what requires a simple majority to repeal, what is eligible for a filibuster, which positions of the cabinet require Congressional approval (obviously Bannon's position doesn't), etc. This has helped my anxiety a lot. <br /><br />I saw a video recently that offered advice on what to do if you witness a racist or bigoted attack. It offered practical advice like, if it's safe to do so, stop it or film it. Go stand next to the person under attack and talk with them. When it's over, offer your support if the want to report the attack. Offer them food or water, or just listen. I'm going to talk with my children about this, so they have options if they see something happening. (I overheard one of their sports friends say something ridiculous about Hillary a few months ago, so it's not impossible, sadly.)<br /><br />Other than above, we are keeping close tabs on what is going on. We have always been active in terms of donating to charities and teaching our children to respect and appreciate others, but we have never actively protested or marched. But we're ready to do so now, as a family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
