The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

For folks who are daunted by trying to find or vet groups to work with or contribute to, May I suggest the PTA as training wheels? Many PTAs need volunteers and it’s a good place to stop book bans, find out the material needs of your community, organise food & clothing drives, etc.
