Taking Action: Getting Your Voice Heard and Reversing Trump's America
The New Yorker

If you are currently unsatisfied with the current policies president Trump has recently enacted, and you would like to change that, you have come to the right place.

Taking action to undo this disaster is as easy as making a phone call to your local representative or senator. Sending an email or writing a letter are also choices if you're a little phone shy, but calling is they most effective way to get your message across. You can find your representatives here and your senators here. If you're not too sure on what to say when you do contact your congressmen, here's a website that provides a script to say on various different issues. Here's another website that serves the same purpose, but for letters.

Get everyone you know to participate in these simple tasks, as they all add up. Congressional staffers tally up calls, and if they want any chance of re-election, they will listen to their constituents' wants. If they do budge and vote against the horrific policies Trump proposes, please do return the favor and re-elect them (or urge others if you are unable to).

Already finished with all your phone calls and emails and want to do more? Well, another way to help is to get the word out on what's going on. Join marches and protests, or if there aren't anywhere you live, organize your own. Get updates on local activities by texting 'DAILY' to 228-466 and download your state justice app. Or, just simply inform those around you what's so bad about what Trump is doing with America. Tell them, and send this list to them so that they can take action as well.

We have got to all rise up and retaliate. We will not let Trump get take away everything we've been fighting for. We will not go back. Everyone should feel safe in America, everyone should thrive in America. No more taking backward steps, push forward for justice and we will all be better off.

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.
