Looking for a place to channel post-election energy? Here are Arizona groups in need of support.
The incoming Donald Trump presidency has many people across the country understandably worried, given all of the actions the former president has said he plans to implement. These include mass deportations, rollbacks on LGBTQ+ rights, attacks on political enemies, and restrictions on abortion access.
That worry is leaving people wondering what to do now that the election is over. There are many organizations across Arizona that help support people year around, and will continue doing so through the next presidency.
If you’re looking for a place to channel your energy, and to support the communities around you, here are some to check out, sorted by region:
