Grocery bill went up? Call.
Got interrogated at the airport? Call.
Your kid's after school program closed? Call.

Report your concern about **anything** negatively impacting YOUR daily life, and demand your representatives do their job and find a remedy for it.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Resist the clown.

Take attention away from the clown's military parade. Instead, find a No Kings event on June 14th: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=5...

Resist the clown.

Take a little time and do something. Post a message of dissent. Maybe write a quick letter to a representative. Perhaps attend a June 14th #NoKings rally in your area.
