Here’s advice from a congressman on how to actually enact change during the Trump presidency. Rep. Steve Israel sat down with us to lay it all out:
MESSEGE. THIS.
This message is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR US WHITE FOLKS. We have the ability to be civilly disobedient in ways that get PoC shot and arrested. Let’s use that privilege and act up and make noise.
Please inagine the PR nightmare of 100 people showing up to a town hall and demanding to know why a representative didn’t stand up to Trump.
This is great but I don’t know how to find them. I’ve literally never seen something like this advertised in my life, and I’ve been searching for information and haven’t found anything. So it’s wonderful to be told that my efforts are not effective, but I also have no idea how to find out how to do something that *is* useful, and it’s very difficult to maintain motivation in the face of something like that. Does anyone have any leads on how to find out if there are any town halls taking place, or what to do if there are none? Do I just have to stalk my rep’s event calendar? But I’ve looked and that’s not how they present information. What can I do? Maybe nobody comes to these fucking “town halls” because nobody fucking knows they’re happening.
