of what we do now.

I'll see if I can find it for you, but the gist of it was this:

First, call your congress people EVERY DAY. Wake up, brush your teeth, walk the dog, make the coffee, call your congress people. The current issue we should be calling them about is Betsy DeVos because all of public education is at risk. But we know there will be an issue every day, and we need to be their new best friends.

Second, join everything that supports what you support: Planned parenthood, ACLU, Sierra Club, whatever. And subscribe to the print publications that are reporting responsibly.

Third: run for something. Or help someone run for something.
