Hi, I'm Kat. Like you, 11/8 made me confused, hurt, angry, scared, lost, and really really hungry. Probably also like you, it made me want to ACT. NOW. I have never been the type to sit and watch, but I am also no expert on politics, policy, or grassroots activism. Luckily, the experts are working hard and there are a lot of ways to get involved. So I've redesigned my personal site because fighting for our country is more important than blog posts and press clippings, and now this is a directory of some of the incredible grassroots activism happening around the internet.
So click below for ways to donate, volunteer, protest, write, ACT.
