As in “WTF are we going to do?” Below is my starter list. And, I’m sincerely asking for ideas to add!
People (me!) don’t know what to do — or don’t think that even if they (I!) do something it’ll make a difference. So, please share what you are doing — little, large, silly, profound. We’re in this together.

What else? Do you know of orgs to support? Postcards to write? Hats to knit? Politicians to call? We’re all looking for ideas — and also are looking to feel not alone. So, please share!
