In the immediate aftermath of the presidential election, it's hard to move beyond my feelings of helplessness. This has not only been a trying week for myself, but also for the people that I respect and love the most. I’m still working on absorbing this reality that over 59 million Americans (myself included) did not choose, but I recognize the need to move forward and unite. That being said, I began researching ways to help organizations and initiatives that will be tested in the coming years.
This site has compiled a list of wonderful organizations that need our support now more than ever. If you’re unable to make a donation, please consider donating your time by volunteering.
