The pending Trump presidency and sharp divisions in America's political and social landscape means some people are starting the new year with a lot of anxiety. Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network director Randy Block says people are frightened and concerned about potential changes in policy and attacks on progress made on human rights, the environment, health care and other issues.

"We're seeing that the antidote to some of that depression and that frustration is to work with groups that are pushing back or resisting some of these potential changes."

Block notes that Michigan parallels Washington, D-C, right now – with control held by one political party – and says it's important to have all voices heard, not just those that are conservative.
