My Civic Workout

[tanaqui]

My Civic Workout is another site offering regular ideas by email (or on Facebook and Twitter) for how to fight back against the threats posed by Trump's election.

Your heart is a muscle
the size of your fist.
Keep loving, keep fighting.

We know that just like working out, civic activism can feel intimidating at first. It seems like everyone else knows how to use the machines, and you're just not sure that activism is your kind of place. We're here to help you get started with emails a few times a week that have 5-minute, 10-minute, and 30-minute activism "workouts" that will help you (and America) get in shape.

• They have formed a non-profit so that they can raise money for fundraising prior to the Dec. 19 vote



• They are asking voters across the U.S. to "join us at your statehouse in your state Capitol to ensure that the next President of the United States is a new leader that We the People can all call our President"



• Here is their web site: Hamilton Electors
