1. Show your support for courageous journalists who #ProtectTheTruth
1. Show your support for courageous journalists who #ProtectTheTruth
2. BECOME A SUBSCRIBER. Whether it’s your local paper or a national publication, subscribe. Show that you value truthful journalism and will pay for it. Support public radio or independent reader-supported operations like @MotherJones motherjones.com/about/support/
3. FUND VICTORY. If we all gave 50 cents to candidates like @IronStache, @KatieHill4CA , and @JanzforCongress every time Trump tweeted, we’d have more than a #BlueWave2018. We’d have a #BlueTsunami2018! Fund victory! Pick a candidate in a tough race and pledge 50 cents per tweet!
4. SUPPORT @pressfreedom: Journalists around the world live under daily threat from dictators, criminals, and corrupt regimes. Some give their lives to pursue the truth. The Committee to Protect Journalists stands up for them. Help out here: cpj.org
5. TALK TO PEOPLE. Turn off the computer or phone and TALK to people — your friends, your family, your neighbors — about what’s happening in our country right now. Make sure they’re paying attention, and make sure they plan to vote. #REMEMBERinNOVEMBER
