In the wake of Donald Trump officially taking office,eroticism in indian literature millions have protested and marched on the streets of cities around the country. But one question on many people's minds has been: how can those opposed to the new presidency continue to make real change?

Organized by a loose, eclectic mix of professionals in media, tech, art and nonprofits, Swing Left's ultimate goal is to get those 52 swing districts won by Democratic candidates. Doing this in the 2018 elections would shift the current political landscape.
