5 Ways to Continue Fighting Against New Presidential Regime

The Women's March was a revolutionary form of protest where peaceful demonstrations took place across all seven continents (yes, even Antarctica). But we cannot stop with a single day or single weekend. Change starts with an individual and here are everyday actions one person can do help keep the momentum of change going.


1. Stay Informed

We live in a digital age where we get severe weather alerts sent to our phone, connect with people around the world and have access to an infinite amount of information, but we often take this for granted to look at funny Youtube videos of cats or post photos of ourselves doing exciting things to prove that we have an exciting life. Use this connection to the world to see what is going on, educate yourself on the issues and find out how it affects everyone--not just yourself or your community.


2. Let your local representative know where you stand on issues.

Their role is to represent people in their district. You can call their local office and ask that your stance as their constituent be noted. You can also email them. Get involved with local issues too.


3. Know what your representatives are doing.

The media doesn't report on every single thing that every single representative does, but you can look up how they voted and what legislation they are sponsoring from websites like this.


4. Know what local businesses stand for

Many places have LGBT yellow pages that feature businesses who are a no discrimination, safe space for everyone. If there is a local coffee shop, try going there more. Find out which businesses have been under fire for discrimination and avoid those places as much as possible.

FDA, the EPA, NASA, Forest Services, the HHS and the USDA. (And this list is constantly growing!) This is a huge statement that says "We will not be silent" and that the truth matters more than the legal barriers preventing the public from knowing it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
