When I returned home today, I dragged up to my office and began to sort through the mess on my desk. There is the usual end-of-the-year accounting that I always hate, so I stalled; fiddling around until I unearthed a scrap of paper on which I had jotted down one of the many anonymous quotes that circulate on Facebook. In a nano-second I knew the first moments of peace that I’ve had in weeks, oddly emanating from the very place that has caused such discomfort recently. The note reads:

The Peaceful Resistance against Trump movement is offered by Robert Reich online. Michael Moore, documentary film maker and political activist is crafting 100 Days of Resistance against Trump with a steady flow of concrete ideas and action items. His leadership has already proven to be valuable on specific protest points and he is constantly on social media; nothing escapes his eagle eye as a modern Patriot. There are many other strong voices in the media like Dan Rather, Charles Blow, Eugene Robinson and Van Jones.

Be loud, as the young but wise actress Jennifer Lawrence advises. Make it your business to verify the stories that you re-post on social media and do not be sucked into meaningless battles. Preserve your energy. Be in each exchange to win. Write letters to the editor and be accurate. Take the time to do your research and get it right because you speak for every woman. Yes this is going to be exhausting, but each of us will make a difference. We are the drops of water that create an ocean. Attend the nearest Sister March to the “Women’s March on Washington” Saturday, January 21st if you can and recruit people to go with you. You stand with millions of brothers and sisters across the country, approximately 66,000,000 to be accurate. You are not alone. Be the storm!
