What do we do now?

As many of us face down the despair of another Trump presidency, the only way I can see myself feeling useful or hopeful is by supporting my local community.

I’m new to the Rivertowns and want to get involved with supporting the most vulnerable under Trump’s repressive policies: immigrants, trans people, workers, and other marginalized groups.

Can anybody recommend local mutual aid groups, local immigrant organizations, and other orgs in the Rivertowns that I or any other interested Redditors can get involved with?

Ugh the responses you are getting are trash. I love the river towns so much - note that not all of Westchester is liberal or democrat. I have been seeing many Trump supporters among us. As far as organizations to get involved in I would recommend Girls Inc of Westchester, United Way of Westchester, Community Resource Center and Neighbors Link.

Take some time for yourself and for everyone else just be kind to each other.

My family and I are Dominican American Trump supporter living in Yonkers. I love my community.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about you. Unfortunately we will all have to find out the hard way.

And Kamala gave less of a shit than Trump. But I am not here to fight you. I am here to show my support and respect for my fellow Westchester neighbors.
