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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
