John,
As we navigate the challenges of the Trump presidency, AYD, alongside Arlington Democrats, has been working hard to develop community resources to support our members and help counter the ongoing dismantling of the federal government.
You can find AYD’s resources on our Linktree [[link removed]] , while Arlington Democrats’ resources are available on their website. [[link removed]]
We are also organizing events to create spaces for our community to connect and decompress from the stresses affecting our county and region. Keep an eye on Mobilize for upcoming events—please note that AYD shares Arlington Democrats' Mobilize page, so all listed events are official.
One key event to highlight: Arlington Democrats have organized a Federal Workers and Contractors Town Hall being held on February 25th [[link removed]] , featuring experts in policy and law to provide valuable insights and support.
Above all, we encourage you to take care of yourself whether that is taking a walk along Arlington's extensive trail network or catching up on the latest episode of Severance.
