If you are worried, overwhelmed by actions of the new Trump administration, here are a few inspired practical tips on how to effectively get involved in political action to resist and fight back, without it taking over your life.
- Choose Your Battles Wisely: Focus on issues that matter most to you. This could be climate change, healthcare, civil rights, etc. Prioritize where you can make the most impact.
- Self-Care: First and foremost, as you get involved keep in mind that taking care of yourself and your family is the most important thing you can do. Balance activism with self-care. It’s okay and necessary to take breaks and really focus on your well-being.
- Set Realistic Goals: Determine what you can realistically accomplish given your time and resources. Whether it's attending local meetings, writing letters, or volunteering periodically, set achievable goals.
- Time Management: Take a look at your full schedule and allocate specific times for activism. This could be an hour a week or a few hours a month. Consistency matters more than intensity.
- Stay Informed: Keep up with reliable news sources (NOT FOX News) to stay informed without getting overwhelmed. This helps in directing your efforts effectively.
- Join Local Groups: A good way to start is to engage with local activist groups. They often provide structure and support, making activism less isolating and more effective.
- Use Your Skills: Think about what you are good at, then figure out a way to utilize your skills and interests in activism. Whether it's organizing events, writing, or using social media, leverage what you're good at.
- Celebrate Small Wins: It is important to recognize and celebrate the impact of your efforts, even if they seem small. Every contribution counts.
- Support Networks: Look for and build supportive networks of like-minded individuals who share your concerns. This fosters resilience and shared learning.
- Advocate for Balance: Everything that Trump is trying to do is extremely hurtful, selfish and anti-American and it all feels very overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be, pick and choose what you get involved in and remember that your personal well-being and relationships really do matter. Be inspired, and advocate for causes without letting them consume your entire life.
