John Oliver Has A Whole Post-Election Plan For You To Follow

"We're going to need to stay here and fight."

John Oliver summed up many people’s feelings on Sunday’s “Last Week Tonight” when he named 2016 “the fucking worst,” and tried to make sense of Donald Trump’s victory.

All roads led back to the same important question: “What the fuck do we do now?”

“We’re going to need to stay here and fight, and not just politically in four years when he’s up for reelection, but constantly, monitoring legislation as it moves through Congress, and fucking voting when your legislators come up for reelection in two years,” Oliver said. “But that is still below the barest minimum of what is going to be needed.”

Oliver’s plan included resisting the urge to let things feel normal, and standing up for minorities, organizations and causes that will come under threat during a Trump administration.

The show also tweeted some of the many places viewers could donate.

If you can afford the time or money, here are some organizations that are worth supporting…
