Call or email Sen. Dave McCormick. Call or email Sen. John Fetterman. 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, Democracy Forward, and Lambda Legal.

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, the Way Forward, Black Women of Chester County in Action, Legal Aid SEPA, the NAACP of West Chester, and the NAACP of Coatesville. Here are a handful in Berks County: Bring the Change, Centro Hispano, LGBT Center of Greater Reading, Make the Road, and the NAACP of Reading.

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.
