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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
