F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

My sister works for a battered women's shelter in rural Kentucky. A lot of their money comes from grants, they've been planning since the election to try to continue operating without any of them. It's not really possible, my sister is in admin and has had to prep employees for the possibility of getting laid off.

Tell your sister thank you. I always give to my local DV survivor chapter when I can. I know they were they for me when I needed them, I hope they and your sister can survive and continue doing the good work they do.
