Tips from VUU hosts for moving through the aftermath of the Trump election (mentioned at end of broadcast):

• Move energy through creative acts of resistance. Dye your hair, make sidewalk chalk art love letters to your community.
• Find power and agency for all ages. “That’s not okay. Let’s walk this way.”
• Do what you can, where you are. If that means raking the yard, go do it.
• Alice Walker – Hard times require furious dancing. Connect to the center of your being.
• Remember you are not alone. Reach out to connect. Make sure others know they are not alone.
• Remember the power of love. Spread it. Tell someone, “I love you.”

The VUU is hosted by Meg Riley, Joanna Fontaine Crawford, Aisha Hauser, Hank Peirce, Alicia Forde, and Michael Tino with production support from Lori Stone Sirtosky. The VUU airs Thursdays at 11 am ET. This episode originally aired on November 10, 2016.
