Devon and Sarah discuss self care in these crazy times, the Women’s March, intersectional feminism, and how women are leading the resistance against Trump. They also discover a shared love for Maxine Waters, the baddest bitch in congress. And remember: THE NORTH REMEMBERS AND WE ARE COMING FOR YOU ASSHOLES. (That’s a really geeky Game of Thrones reference, for those of you who aren’t watching the best show on television.)

For everyone who DID something, small or big, your efforts have been successful. Because of you:

  • Federal hiring freeze is reversed for VA (Veteran Affairs).
  • Court order Partial stay of the immigration ban for those with valid visas.
  • Green card holders can get back in country.
  • Uber pledges $3M and immigration lawyers for its drivers after #DeleteUber trends on Twitter.
  • Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) enrollment ads are still going to air.
  • The ACLU raised 24M over the weekend (normally 3-4Mil/year).
  • HHS, EPA, USDA gag order lifted.
  • EPA climate data no longer scrubbed from website.
  • More people of different career/religious/economic/race backgrounds are considering running for political office than ever before.
  • MOST importantly, since we live in a participatory democracy, the people are engaged.

While much more is needed, sometimes you have to celebrate your wins. Stay vigilant, but also take self care seriously. Activist burnout is a thing. Marathon, don’t sprint.
