It's been less than a month since President-elect Donald Trump's victory,Jessica Drake in Scandalous Sex (2004) full movie and everywhere you look, people are struggling to organize.
You can see a lot of it happening on our favorite social platforms. On Facebook, it comes in the form of repetitive pleas to "Call your legislator!" On Twitter, people retweet every 140-character nugget of pseudo-profundity they can find.
SEE ALSO: Trump’s America will also be a new golden age of activismIt can be confusing to know what to do when so much of our democracy is at stake, but a few new sites and apps (and even a couple of old ones) can help activists and concerned Americans pave a manageable path forward.
Below, we've compiled a list of digital tools that make it easier for those who want to organize, but need specific solutions, coordinated guidance and helpful information at their fingertips.
Flippable's main goal is simple: to help "turn America blue" by building power at all levels of government, both federal and state.
While state politics may not generate the same energy and theater as national politics, Democrats desperately need to control more state legislatures if they have any hope of stopping gerrymandering and recapturing Congress and the Oval Office.
Flippable provides users with one simple thing they can do every day to help curb Trump's abuses and/or put progressives into office. Phone numbers, calling scripts and easy-to-follow steps are all there for you -- all you have to do is visit the site or sign up for daily emails.
According to its website, the app was set up "by organizers, politics junkies, strategists and engineers who met each other working on the Hillary Clinton campaign in Columbus, Ohio, and Brooklyn, New York."
Some people aren't able to take a moment every day to organize, but they can donate larger amounts of time throughout the week. Wall-of-Us gives users four "concrete acts of resistance delivered to your inbox each week," which can involve donating to a recount or asking followers to call their local representatives.
"Three seemed like too few, and five seemed overwhelming," Amelia Miazad, one of the site's founders, told Mashablein an email. "Four seemed like a number that most people could do."
As a bonus, the site is really pretty -- so that's a small source of comfort in these otherwise unspeakably bleak times.
It may be hard to believe, but there are plenty of people left on this earth who still like speaking to strangers on the phone. And, thankfully, calls make a difference -- much more so than emails and letters, it seems. Many staffers will tally up the types of calls they've received in a given week, and share the results with your representative.
Weekly Actions to Resist Trump gives users guidance on what types of calls to make, and who to make them to, all while providing the contact information users need.
And don't worry -- if you call your representative's office, you'll likely speak to a voicemail recording or a trained-to-be-nice staffer. It's a win-win.
Following the election, organizations like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood reported a surge in donations. (In one week alone, the ACLU raised a record $7.2 million in funds.) And while it's important to support leading nonprofits, many grassroots and community-led organizations will also need real support.
Support.fm/Express provides a comprehensive yet digestible list of groups, including Muslim community organizations, migrant justice groups and POC-led nonprofits, where people can donate their funds (and sometimes their IRL support).
If there's one thing we learned from the #GrabYourWallet campaign in October, it's that boycotts can work. In the weeks following the start of the campaign, Ivanka Trump's brand experienced a 54 percent drop in "interest," or item views on select online retailers.
Now, Boycott Trump, a new app from the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, allows users to search a database of more than 250 businesses to see if they share any connection to Trump and his business interests.
The app has already found dozens of companies that are affiliated with Trump.
Many people want to volunteer or give their money -- they just have no idea who needs the help or what needs to be done.
TogetherList provides a list of agencies and nonprofits where people can donate money or volunteer their time. All you have to do is click "donate" or "volunteer" below the organization of your choice.
Sure, it's important to reach out to your legislators or show up to a protest. But TogetherList allows people to support an established nonprofit organization directly and more extensively, whether by volunteering their time or donating their hard-earned dollars.

Users simply type in their name and address, and the app provides them with their list of legislators. Countable users even get to see how they voted on important pieces of legislation so they can -- wait for it -- hold them accountable.
The app lets you send a video message to your representative so they know you're serious (and have a super nice smartphone).
Of course, there are hundreds of sites out there helping people to organize in their communities, countless 1,000-word Facebook posts telling desperate people what to do, and approximately 19,999,999 articles shared on Twitter that people have promised to send their Trump-supporting family members, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.
For many, there's so much to do and so many ways to do it -- they just need a lot of focus and a little help. These apps will do the trick.
