In the wake of Donald Trump officially taking office,Watch Massage With My Husband Online millions have protested and marched on the streets of cities around the country. But one question on many people's minds has been: how can those opposed to the new presidency continue to make real change?
One answer comes in the form of Swing Left, a rapidly growing grassroots effort organized by a loose, eclectic mix of professionals in media, tech, art and nonprofits that aims to help Democrats win the House of Representatives in 2018.

Organized by a loose, eclectic mix of professionals in media, tech, art and nonprofits, Swing Left's ultimate goal is to get those 52 swing districts won by Democratic candidates. Doing this in the 2018 elections would shift the current political landscape.
On the group's website, users can fill in their zip code and find the swing district nearest to them.
