Typically Presidents Day is a lighthearted day that we spend shopping or catching up on laundry or having a long overdue brunch date with our friends. Typically it's just a day off. It's sort of a throwaway holiday that we don't think too much about — no offense Washington and Lincoln. But this year, there are so many protests on Presidents Day that it undeniably has a different vibe. It's no longer a day off, but a day to be active, to fight, to stand up for our rights, and maybe for the first time in any of our lives, protest the leader of our nation and all that he stands for.

All over the country protests are organizing to get people together to fight to protect our future, be it protecting immigrants, refugees, women's rights, the environment, LGBTQ rights, or any of the countless things at stake throughout Trump's presidency. If you're looking to do something a bit more proactive this year than look at flat screen TV specials or spend the day oversleeping and watching too much television, you might want to consider checking out one of these peaceful protests. If this president is not your president, these are the events for you:
