Day 622:
Keep the focus on inequality
Analysis: If you’re rich, you’re more lucky than smart. And there’s math to prove it
‘CEOs don’t want this released’: US study lays bare extreme pay-ratio problem
America’s 1% hasn’t controlled this much wealth since before the Great Depression
The wealth of America’s three richest families grew by 6,000% since 1982
Tax the rich, or eat the rich, let the rich decide.
Further Reading:

Tools of change:
Feel like this is all a bunch of bullshit? Want to do something about it?
Lets kick Chuck Grassley out of congress!
If Susan Collins Votes Yes on Kavanaugh we fund her opponent!
Calling your government representative:
Call your Senator
Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor
Call your Attorney General
Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)
You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.
Phone Bank for Progressive Candidates:

Call the “White House”:
Use this website to call one of Trump’s many properties he has not put into a blind trust yet, and let them know how you feel (be polite, they are workers just like us, but be firm).
Do a little Slacktivism:
Send Some Text Messages for progressive causes (I know it says textforbernie, but its for a range of progressive candidates) Or you can have your texts turned into faxes by the ResistBot
Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:
Check when the next town hall is here
Monitor your congressperson:
Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.
Elections!
Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
See if you have a special election in your area!
Is your mayor up for election? Find out, get involved!
