WCID Wednesday: Stop RFK Jr, build local housing, air quality monitors

• Be Heard: Look, the odds are really against us here, especially after Bill Cassidy threw his life’s work in the garbage to move RFK Jr’s dangerous anti-vaxx bullshit nomination to a full vote, but we have to put pressure on our elected reps however and whenever we can. It matters that you’re heard.

  
  Call your senators right now. (go)

• Donate: Demcast produces grassroots progressive journalism in a moment when it matters more than ever. Every voice counts. (go)

• Learn: Our friends at The Trevor Project produces excellent resources to get you up to speed on trans rights — and how to defend them. (go)

• Get help: Does your city need more affordable housing? Welcome in! The water’s warm. Check out Local Housing Solutions to help get more shovels in the ground in more places. (go)

• Invest: Chances are your bank is an asshole. Use Bank.green to move your money somewhere that won’t actually — actually! — fund fossil fuel expansion. (go)

• 🌎 Donate: Donate to disaster relief has been our top finisher since we launched the app late last year, and I feel like there’s some real pros and cons to that (go)

• 🌎 Buy: Everybody should have an air quality monitor, whether their city’s engulfed in flames or not. Here’s our recommendations. (go)

• 🌎 Donate: It’s a tale as old as time — people need to eat, tonight, and somebody’s gotta feed them. Check out our favorite orgs around the world here. (go)

• Volunteer: Help kids connect to nature (we’d love to evaluate more reputable groups around the world if you have any to suggest!) (go)

• Volunteer: Sure, labor participation’s somehow at its lowest rate in…a very long time…after a labor president…but that means the only way to go is up! Support the groups supporting the workers (go)

Everything is a lot, but we can get through it together.

Remember — actions that work for somebody else might not be the ones for you. Use the app to find your own way in.

And remember — you can save actions for later with an WCID profile!

Thank you, as always, for giving a shit.
