Reading posts about the end of democracy and the end of our way of life is really demoralizing. Especially when life has also hit you where it hurts.

Don’t abandon your lives, make them better. Help people around you. Make sure your local representatives are doing what you believe is right. Fight for unionization in your workplace. Run for office. Form protest groups and activist groups.

I’m a zillenial who is running for local office this year and I’ve participated in several protests and activist movements.

I’ll tell you what keeps me going, it’s that I am fighting to make tomorrow better with my time.
