I VOTED… WHAT’S NEXT? 

Our country is in dire need of change, in ways some of us had never anticipated prior to 2016. We CANNOT check out after the election ends in 15 days. We MUST press on, stay in the fight, rest as needed, and understand that the struggle for justice, safety, freedom, and equality continues. We must stay in the fight for our children, our friends, our neighbors, our family. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for ways to stay in the fight. For those who might be interested in receiving alerts about post-election results
