The federal administration has transitioned and many states are restricting rights to vulnerable citizens. Many people are deeply concerned about threats to our democracy, as well as to a host of vulnerable people, in the US and abroad.

 

I believe that each of us can be a Creator of Change — and that the collective efforts of Creators of Change can be significant.

Please join our movement!

When we each take action — in small ways and bigger ways — and invite others to take action, we can find strength, have an impact on preserving rights and helping vulnerable people, and create BIG ripple effects!

I invite you to bring commitment to learning about organizations and joint efforts that will be a counter-force to hateful and destructive policies, and take action in any way that you are able.

You may choose to donate to organizations doing important work, you may volunteer your talents, you may provide services and time, you may engage in focused conversations, or find other ways to our collective power for good.

What follows is a list of resources of many kinds, that I invite you to support and share with those who share an interest in their work.

And please be in touch to suggest additional resources to add to this page.
