No one knows what damage a Donald Trump administration will wreak on America and the world. But there are many reasons to worry.

Trump once proposed banning Muslims and has expressed support for a registry of Muslims in America. He has repeatedly promised to build a wall between Mexico and the United States and deport millions of undocumented people. He has called for the end of Obamacare; rejects climate change and said abortion laws should be up to the states to decide. The list goes on and on.

We want to hear about the ways you are trying to protect yourself, your family and your community from the potential excesses of a Trump presidency.

Are you one of the many women racing to secure an IUD in case access to abortion is effectively ended? Spending long nights on the phone with your immigration lawyer? Or are you taking self-defense classes to protect yourself from hate crimes?

Whatever it is you are doing to keep yourself safe and sane for the next four years, we want to hear about it.

Please send us 300 words on one thing you are doing to prepare, and why. Email that, along with your name, age and location to:

US.opinion@theguardian.com

Please put “Trump preparations” in the subject line.



We look forward to hearing from you.
