Joy and resilience are resistance. No win is ever perfect, but we have to pause and appreciate the results of our hard work! Whether it’s a Blue Tsunami midterm despite extensive voter suppression, or one more business hanging a sign to protect immigrants, pause to celebrate every win. It’s okay to be happy and hopeful!
We won! We won BIG! Over the next day or so media owned by oligarchs will try to reframe this win. Don’t let them! This is a sweeping mandate unlike anything seen in my lifetime. Don’t engage with posts negging the results. BOOST THE SIGNAL YOU WANT TO SEE.

LGBTQ teen suicide rates track with support: just one support person can reduce risk significantly. Amid an escalating war on transgender Americans the Trevor Project’s anti-suicide work is more important than ever. Please consider a donation.
Encourage businesses that work to get out the vote, or bring attention to elections. Find somewhere with an election watch party or other related events and join the fun! The more joyful and engaged we make society, the stronger our democracy will be, so reward venues that help create engagement, especially if they’re politically aligned (but open to all!)
Instead of dithering and worrying all through election day, take action! The best thing you can do is something! First, VOTE. (Duh.) Then phone bank, decorate your car, offer rides to the polls, take snacks to long lines (where it’s legal), or throw a full-on party! Make election day a celebration of civic opportunity!
Voting is confusing! Help a new voter through the whole cycle, from registration (there’s still time in some places!) to researching small races, to bellying up to the polls (or drop-box!)
Once a person votes, they are far more likely to vote again. Find your starfish!
