Following the inauguration of Donald Trump last week, the world saw its largest inaugural protest to date with nearly 5 million worldwide swarming to the streets to voice their support for virtually everything that the new president seems to be against (equal rights, helping the environment, not sexually assaulting women—you know, the usual). The millions of men, women and non-binary citizens alike who came together as one at these marches did so with the intent of sending a clear, strong message to Mr. Trump and his administration: hate, exclusion, and corruption won’t go unchallenged.

With every day plunging us deeper and deeper into Trump’s America, it’s more important than ever that we don’t become complaisant and let up the fight. Here’s three things you can do during the next four yours to create positive change:

1. Keep on Talking!

Education is the most important tool to fight ignorance, which seems to be at an all-time high right now. Only through ignorance can a man unqualified in virtually every aspect, who has made a name for himself as one of the most misogynistic, scandal-ridden, divisive politicians to ever run for presidential office, be elected. Do everything in your power to educate yourself and others, as this is the only way America as a country will come to see a public shift in opinion on the new president and his policies (or lack thereof) substantial enough to tip elections out of his and the GOP’s favor within the next four years. You have a platform. Twitter, the school newspaper, an iMessage groupchat with a few friends—whatever it may be, use it. Get educated and start educating!

2. Vote in Mid-Term Elections

Most are familiar with the presidential elections that occur every four years, as it’s pretty dang hard to miss those. The ones that many aren’t so familiar with, however, are the mid-term elections that occur every two years—right at half-way mark of a president’s term. During this time many highly-contended and politically crucial positions are up for grabs. If the Democrats want the political ball back in their court, they’re going to have to do much more than just retake the White House in 2020. With a Republican majority in the House and Senate, the Democrats in Washington have little political power over the passing or blocking of laws/amendments, leaving little in the way of Republicans’ attacks on progressive policies and life-saving institutions like the Affordable Care Act. Both bodies of Congress will have several seats to be filled in 2018, and it’s monstrously important that liberal-minded people across the country get out and elect equally liberal-minded representatives into those seats if the Democratic party is to regain grasp in D.C. If you will be able to in 2018, then VOTE—make sure your voice is heard!

3. Contact your representatives

Conversation between the elected-officials and those they represent is the hallmark of any Republic, yet it seems less and less of this is happening as the years have gone on. It’s important to hold our leaders accountable and ensure they’re governing with the American people’s best interests in mind. Here’s how you can do just that:

• Contact your senator
• Contact your representative
• Now that you know who you’re dealing with, let them know what you think! If you have no clue where to start, here are a variety of tips and pointers that you can use as a basis from where to work. Write away, informed and involved citizen!
