After three individual conversations today with teachers and performers who are, like many of us are, overwhelmed by the quantity and magnitude of problems being thrown at us by the new administration in the White House and who, due to this overwhelming tidal wave of executive orders, nominations, and confirmations, are frozen in confusion and fear, I realized that I might be able to help. At least one tiny bit.
So here's what's comin atcha!
I'm going to try to post something here every day. At least once. If there's an actionable item that we can do something about, it'll be here. Subscribe to get notified, share the links, etc. I'm going to keep things streamlined and focused to reduce the barrage to a stream so that we can try to dam up whatever we can before things get any worse than they already are.
I'm also going to consistently share some particularly helpful links (like "Daily Action" and anything the ACLU might be throwing our way).
Oh - one other thing - I'm going to be focused on California since that's my state, but I'll do my best to include other resources for other states as much as possible.
Tune in tomorrow morning for some resources and action items for Wednesday, February 1, 2017!
(In the meantime, I'll be posting the following at the end of every post for ease of access to resources.)

Senators’ Contact info
(Remember, calling is key! Emails and mailings are not as effective. Call until you reach a human being, and only call about one topic at a time. The calls are logged by topic, so keep the confusion low, even if that means calling repeatedly about different topics. I suggest saving these numbers, and your House Representative’s number, in your phone. A brilliant activist suggested making all of their last names “Reps” so that you can search them all together and go right down the line when calling.)
