On 13 and 15 March DA Vic (Melbourne) hosted two DA Zoom Drop-In sessions to facilitate discussion about what we can do to fight back against Trump 2.0. It is safe to say that each session was well received and attendees were relieved to talk to other Americans in Melbourne. Thank you to everyone who attended !!!
The phrase, "From little things, big things grow" was on display while we discussed the importance of doing even the smallest thing such as registering to vote or making donations, unsubscribing from toxic social media, subscriptions, writing to your representatives and so much more.
Each of us has our unique way of being involved and it all adds up.
Here are links to just some of the resources out there that you might find to be helpful:

Americans are on the streets and in town halls across the USA. The fight is real and getting stronger. Find a way to be a part of it that resonates with YOU. Even attending one of these sessions is a contribution, especially if it is balm for your soul.
DA Vic Melbourne leadership will hold a weekly 2 hour online drop-in session at different times to try to accommodate various schedules, and encourages volunteers interested in hosting from mid April through May to get in touch.
