As a young man (I’m under 30) with 2 kids I feel stuck like this. A lot of the protesting actions I would have taken are tapered by “I have to be around for my kids”, but at the same time this country is not how I want my kids to be raised in and I don’t know my own red line for this. Suffice to say if I’m thinking about this 3 weeks into Trump’s America, then I hope I will feel compelled to be more active. NYC might be coming to a heat with the Mayor Adam’s BS so I’m keeping my eye out for any manifestations in the city.

I don’t know what I can personally do to make effective change, but what I have done since the inauguration is to let my close friends know I’m there for them since I can’t be the only one who feels defeated.

In the past I’ve hung hundreds fliers in the street for other causes, and I might do that again. It’s old school, gets people attention, and gets me out into the street and maybe interact with people.

Any ideas for an eye-catching poster? I was thinking “OUR DEMOCRACY IS DYING, WHAT CAN WE DO?”

Same, when I was a teenager it was Erowid for all my questions, then r/drugs in college. I also loved r/tooktoomuch, which had the best life lessons to offer.

Also don’t live anywhere requiring a bridge crossing or an island. That said I live on Long Island within eyeshot of Statue of Liberty. I’ve accepted my fate
