Ok people. The ugliness of the government is continuing and at a rapid pace. The President, Cabinet, and Congress are trying to set back the clock with this “state’s rights” crap. State’s right has shown that it gives states the ability to discriminate against people on basic human rights all should have. To ask for the government to protect all their citizens is not asking for special treatment. We must protest the idea of “state’s rights” when it comes to rights for everyone.
I am not sure about you, but it seems as though I am consistently hearing about issues that need to be protested. Issues that will discriminate against groups of marginalized people; whether it be deportation, ICE raids, Muslim Ban, transgender rights, marriage equality, or fighting the Keystone pipeline. I want to know about protests in my area, the issues I need to call about, the correct government officials to call about issues, and so on.
Many people have developed websites, documents, or apps with instructions on how to call, who to call, and what to say. However, if you are like me, you can never find those websites when you are going to call. Well, that was until now. Lucky you- I made a handy guide to keep them in once place.
Below is a list of websites that have information to help you call government offices or where to protest either at home or when you travel. Save this page. Share it. Keep it close so you know of many ways to make a difference about the issues you care about.
