Hi John, it's Chrissy.
Every day, sometimes every few hours, there's a new headline that makes me angry and long for a President Kamala Harris. If you’re like me, you’re a little scared, a lot anxious, and trying to do everything you can to stop the reckless and dangerous actions of President Trump, Elon Musk, and those around them.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. We can help. What can you do?
* Call or email Sen. Dave McCormick ([link removed]). Call or email Sen. John Fetterman ([link removed]). Call volume matters, even if you’re just leaving a message, because elected officials know that phones don’t ring off the hook when people are happy. If you can’t get through in D.C., call one of the Pennsylvania regional offices. Public outcry forced President Trump to walk back the federal funding freeze. Let’s keep it up.
* Do you have friends who live in states or Congressional districts represented by Republicans? Ask them to call their senators and their U.S. representative, too. Republicans control both the House and the Senate in Washington and could stop President Trump if they wanted to. In the House, we just need three to end their silence. Just three.
* Over 70 lawsuits have been filed (so far) challenging the executive orders. If you can, please support one of the organizations fighting for all of us. There are many, but I’d start with the ACLU ([link removed]), Democracy Forward ([link removed]), and Lambda Legal ([link removed]).
* Get involved locally. Join or support a community of people working for change. There are many. Here are a handful in Chester County: Indivisible Chester County ([link removed]), the Way Forward ([link removed]), Black Women of Chester County in Action ([link removed]), Legal Aid SEPA ([link removed]), the NAACP of West Chester ([link removed]), and the NAACP of Coatesville ([link removed]). Here are a handful in Berks County: Bring the Change ([link removed]), Centro Hispano ([link removed]), LGBT Center of Greater Reading ([link removed]), Make the Road ([link removed]), and the NAACP of Reading ([link removed]).
* Be good to yourself. Hug your friends and family. Find joy. This is a marathon, and we need all of us in the race. For our kids. For each other. For the future of our country.

There's work to be done,
Chrissy
