However, Donald Trump will be our president. Unfortunately, we can't change that. However, we need to make sure to show other countries that we do not believe in this man and his awful ideas. We need to stand up for the people who he hurts and insults. Even though him being president might not affect you on a personal level, it does affect others people. We need to stand up to him, create a revolution.
So please, protest, do more volunteer efforts, donate money, do whatever you can to stand up to our president-elect.
If you still don't know how to contribute here are a few ideas:
- Join protests around the city or where you live
- Volunteer at an abortion clinic- there are many around NYC and other places too, you can escort people into the abortion clinic so they are not hurt by protesters.
- Donate to organizations that protect people that Trump dislikes- For example the UNHCR- helping and protecting Syrian refugees
- Tell everybody how to help and what to do- how they can help!
- If you know people who voted or support Trump- challenge them and ask them why they support him- try to convince them otherwise, if they are okay with it.
Another test that has been going on is the "safety pin" protest. This is a good way to raise awareness against Donald Trump but not do something big. What people are doing is putting safety pins on their shirt to show that they are a "safe place" or somebody who is a safe person and will not hurt and harm other people.
I will keep you updated on our president-elect and please volunteer, help and as always please stay tuned in for more posts!
