• If you lead or even work at a company with paid leave, message every to stay home as much as necessary, and if you don't - Join our friends at Pod Save America or the Environmental Voter Project to call/text/donate and vote for people who actually learned something from the pandemic
• Join our friends at Pod Save America or the Environmental Voter Project to call/text/donate and vote for people who have lived experiences that reflect reality and will fight for a better water system

• Use Bumble's easy tool to get your state reps to ban unsolicited nudes, and then (ding ding ding) join our friends at Pod Save America or the Environmental Voter Project to call/text/donate and vote for people who 1) actually understand the internet and 2) will help build one that's safer for women, LGBTQ+, and children.
