The Trump Survival Guide

Don't despair. Don't retreat. Fight back. The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly 63 million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now Gene Stone offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions they can use to make a difference in this serious call to arms--showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism. Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles ahead. Stone outlines political and social concepts--including such issues as civil rights, women's rights, the environment, Obamacare, international relations, and LGBTQ rights--providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies, and an analysis of what Trump's administration might do. Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back--referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that support positive and possible goals. While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions achieve real change. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt.
