TAKE ACTION
Here is what I have done, please add if you have anything else.....
1) Contact your Senators and Representatives:
I’m your constituent from [City, State], and I support refugee resettlement in the U.S. I am strongly opposed to the announcement from President Trump that would slash refugee admissions, grind all resettlement to a halt, stop resettling refugees from certain countries, and preference religious minorities. This discriminatory announcement flies in the face of core American values and this country’s founding principles. It does not reflect the welcome for refugees I see in my community every day. Please urge President Trump to abandon this plan and do everything in your power to stop this.”
If you are unsure of who to contact, find your Representatives and Senators here:

2) Donate to the ACLU
https://www.aclu.org/
3)Great guide on how to get involved in your area and local action groups near you
https://www.indivisibleguide.com/
4) Find the FB page Let's Visit Lee Zeldin, lots of good activism info
5)there are some great rallies coming up as well.
April 15th...nyc...tax day rally.
Climate change rally at the end of April in DC.
Scientists across the nation are also planning a rally.

Re: TAKE ACTION
Yes. Thanks for starting this thread!
I belong to LI Activists. Find us on Facebook or at https://www.longislandactivists.org. We are meeting on 2/9 if anyone is interested, please join us!
Coming up on Thursday 2/2 noon-1PM -- Rally: Urge Schumer to Resist Trump's Anti-Environmental Agenda. Long Island Office of Senator Schumer, 145 Pine Lawn Road, Melville, NY
RALLY: URGE SCHUMER TO RESIST TRUMP'S ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA
President Trump is a danger to our communities and environment.
His administration of corporate cronies will protect elite interests while threatening our water, air, and food, undermining civil rights, and risking climate chaos.
On February 2, New Yorkers will rally at Senator Schumer’s offices across the state, urging him to resist Trump’s agenda!
As the nation’s top Democrat, Senator Chuck Schumer must stand strong against Trump’s catastrophic Cabinet appointments and his climate-destroying plans.

Re: TAKE ACTION
Consider a monthly donation to places like the ACLU or SPLC.
So many of us have an automatic debit of ~$10 for Netflix, Hulu or those cosmetic/snack subscription boxes...pledging an automatic $10/month to a great organization won't be missed for lots of us.

I'm going to the DC rally. Didn't know about the PP one. I'd like to attend that as well, thanks!
ETA: Does anyone have info on the PP rally? I can't seem to find anything online.

Yes, donate to the organizations that have the expertise to make a difference. ACLU needs all the support they can get.
