Good Trouble: Keep Calling
Use the five calls app or just pick up the phone and call your senator. Remind them that Trump doesn't have to get re-elected, but they do. They need to keep their hands off our medicare, medicaid, and food assistance because we are NOT OK with them taking OUR money to give themselves tax breaks. Call them every day. Pick a time and take a minute to keep reminding them who they work for. Remind them that WE are the government, NOT them, and that they can be replaced if they abandon us.

Good Trouble: Members of the general public have been engaged and supportive as attorneys and law students work to resist the Trump Administration’s attack on the legal profession. Though the Administration’s attacks are multi-faceted, a key area of focus has been intimidating corporate firms through unconstitutional Executive Orders designed to block them representing clients the Administration fears.
