We discuss many of our rights that are at risk under the new Trump administration, what our rights actually are–like due process and the 1st amendment, and an action plan for when they come under attack. 

Monica’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Know what your rights are and speak up.

2. Talk to your friends and family about DC statehood
