Who to donate to?

I donated during the campaign so I constantly get email solicitations from Act Blue, DFA, DLCC, Courage Campaign, Progressive Change Campaign, many more. I want to donate but I want it to do the most good and I can't donate to all of them. How can I know which are the most effective and the most progressive?

The ACLU, The Alliance for Retired Americans, Sierra Club and I'm a member of AARP. I think anything you do will have some good effect.

No, we can't donate to every group or cause opposing the policies of this Administration, but every little bit counts.

Be sure to constantly contact your Senators and Congressional Rep as well on the issues important to you.

to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. I am an ex pat so I am giving monetary donations. All those Democratic branches are asking for money.

And to Democracy Now with Amy Goodman.

The Democratic party needs to show some backbone here in the first 100 days of Trump before they get more money from me.
