Your Guide to Self-Care + Action Against Trump: Part 1

First, Self-Care.

While keeping up with the news, protesting and taking action against Trump, it’s important to take care of yourself <3 Activists can often get burnt out and hold on to the energy that is not theirs that accumulates in their body, builds up and shows as depression, anxiety and other mind obstacles. Below is a quote to meditate on as you practice self-care.

Sadcore Sundays: “Melatonin” by A Tribe Called Quest

Sadcore Sundays: "Melatonin" by A Tribe Called Quest

Trump signed an executive order that blocks Syrian refugees indefinitely, other refugees from 120 days and puts a 90-day freeze on people from seven countries regardless of their visa status because they’re considered “high terrorism risks.” Clearly this executive order was a way to ban Muslims legally. We the people protested and the ACLU took immediate action in federal court the day after the executive order was signed and the judge granted a stay on the ban. Many people who were detained are currently still stuck with Customs Border and Patrol but thanks to our nation’s quick action, we’re getting them out and back with their loved ones as fast as we can.
