I'm pretty sure the repugs won't stop encroaching on our rights, won't stop trying to erase all the benefits of the Obama era, won't stop selling out to their corporate masters.
Our Internet privacy went by the boards this week, just an example.
What can we do to stay energized, take the fight to the repugs, and maybe try to change some minds?
I am planning to support Senator Sherrod Brown, and other Democratic candidates this year, with contributions and I hope spending time campaigning. Not sure what else I can get done.

Ive been actively engaged in Indivisible and we breathed a sigh of relief - and are right back at it this morning.

I downloaded the Indivisible Guide, haven't opened it yet. I was actually thinking of running for a local office, just to have a Dem on the ballot for something.
I volunteered in 2000, 2004 at the Dem headquarters. I signed up in 2008, and the local guy didn't follow-up, so I was inactive. I got busy watching my grandkids and helping my mother-in-law (94 Monday!) so I wasn't very active for a long time. Always try to donate money if I can't give time.
Thank you for the ideas. I'll check the activism groups.
