On this episode we talk to Amanda from the Women's March and Daney from 5051 and the San Joaquin Valley Resistance about how we protest the current administration and how we move forward. 

We cover protests, boycotts, Tesla, and the apps we can use to make our voices heard. Then Kaylia and Chris talk about the SAVE Act, Pete Buttigieg, Ben & Jerry, Ohio, political attire, and how the club Splash is making policies clear.
