8 Steps To Organize Against Trump (Huffington Post)

trumpAccording to the Huffington Post’s Jacob Plitman, “Those of us with the privilege to do so must get organized to act locally and quickly. But let’s not forget; we are very late. People have suffered for years due to our ignorance of the struggles under our noses. But there’s not much time for self-flagellation. Let this election shock us into action.”

  1. Think of 10 friends that might be eager to take action but unsure of what to do.
  2. Do some Googling.
  3. On Sunday, spend the first 30 minutes just talking about what’s happened.
  4. Present some options for action, discuss and vote.
  5. Finally, name your group together.
  6. On the next Sunday, show up, do good work, meet other volunteers, listen, discuss and make the existence of your organization known.
  7. As you show up week after week, recruit new folks and develop a reputation of bringing people out.
  8. Get out into your privileged communities and start telling stories about what you’re experiencing ― especially to people who disagree.
