"Everyone is failing! Someone must _______ immediately!"

Comrade I don't know how to tell you this in a non-asshole way, but "someone" is you. That's where we're at. Find people doing the work you want to see and help them.

@kissane Physically, I am limited. Im writing my representatives daily. Can you recommend organizations that I can donate $$ to which will have the most immediate effects? I've got ACLU covered.

@rspfau If you can call your reps, that’s better than emailing, though I hear e-faxing is also good, which is wild. And postcards are great.

My own donations are almost entirely to orgs and people focused on reproductive & trans healthcare and refugee & immigrant defense but everyone will have their own priorities there. It all helps, I think.

Internet Archive has ways to help archive gov data from your local machine, which is cool.

@kissane @rspfau just popping in to add that in many cases, a certified letter gets a lot of attention. YMMV but this is especially true of older reps in my experience. If you are able to get to a post office to make that happen, it works surprisingly well for not a lot of extra money.
