1. Contact your representatives! Urge them to fight this abuse of power. Sample script below, but personalize it to your circumstances & priorities!
2. Educate yourself & others! Read up from reputable sources on what is happening and what might happen.

I urge you to contact the White House immediately and demand that this memorandum be rescinded, and federal agencies be instructed to continue operating their programs, as directed by Congress. Millions of Americans will be affected by this gross overreach of presidential power."
