Well speaking personally, I saw a lot of groups doing outreach at the local event yesterday. Myself, I work for a local labor federation, and was gathering emails and flyering for an upcoming organizing roundtable (“Trump is our president; now what do we do?”). Our goal is to really expand our tent beyond union members over the next six months-- get people who don’t belong to, or have never even considered working with, a union to walk through our doors. We’ll be training potential candidates for local office. Partnering with churches and faith groups to put pressure on politicians around issues as they come up. And directing our people to commit to serving at food pantries, women’s organizations, migrant service organizations, youth mentoring programs, etc.
What we’re hoping to accomplish around the excitement from yesterday: Keep people engaged around serving in areas that matter to them; partner with other groups to lobby; prepare progressive candidates for local and state-wide office. Hopefully things similar to this are happening elsewhere.
