Concerned About the Politics of Confusion Since the Election? A Call for Submissions

—

Each day, we can take action:

• Double-check all the facts. You may hear and read statements that have not been verified. You can’t be part of the solution if you aren’t speaking from a base of truth.

• Contact your representative in the Senate and Congress. Let them know how you feel. Call and email.

• Join a protest – let your voice be heard. The recent protests at airports around the country have made a difference.

• Educate yourself and others. Learn what is going on, why it is happening, and what you and others can do about it. Then, share that information far and wide.

• Set an example in the way you talk to others who may disagree with you and especially for your children. Let your passion show but communicate with compassion.

• Find someone to talk to if you are scared or worried. Anxiety can affect your health. Also, talk to someone who might be scared, confused, or anxious. Compassion is a two-way street.

• Take a break for self-care. Go for a walk. Take a break from the News and Social Media. This doesn’t mean giving up or sticking your head in the sand. We all need to take a break for self-care without losing focus on the work that needs to be done. A day of self-care keeps us focused on the work at hand.

• Keep your head up and find a reason to smile. We can do this!

These are some of the way you can make a change, but if you have others, please submit those too.

The Good Men Project is different from most media companies. We are a “participatory media company”—which means we don’t just have content you read and share and comment on but it means we have multiple ways you can actively be a part of the conversation. As you become a deeper part of the conversation (Which really is “The Conversation No One Else is Having), you will learn all of the ways we support our Writer’s Community—community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing platform building and more.
