2017 Progressive Action Plan - Do you have one?
During the last eight years we moved forward with some progressive ideas, taking a tentative step towards health care. Electric cars became a reality and are starting to gain ground. Renewable energy sources are gradually coming on line. The LGBT community gained acceptance.
But there are other things we are not making enough progress on and which will be set back by the election of Donald Trump.
The climate continues to warm and feedback loops are kicking in as sea ice dissipates and the darker ocean absorbs more heat when the ice is not present.
Conspiracy theories run amok and distract people from making decisions based on well established facts.
I have decided to set out an agenda that I personally can accomplish to combat the regressive trend in our. Whether it will make a difference or not is debatable but I saw the energy that small donors and individuals brought to Bernie Sanders campaign and I think that if we can all inspire each other then though we may be going through a dark time, we can come out ahead in the end.
First I am making a list of organizations that I will donate to during the year.
You may wish to make your own list. The key is to realize you don't have to give thousands or even hundreds to each organization. Give 50,25, or 10 dollars.
Give to one a week or one a month, if that is too much pick two and make a commitment to your self. Or...give time.
Progressive Organizations You May Want to Donate To
