In the wake of Donald Trump officially taking office,BRAZILIAN EROTICE GIRLSADULT SEXY FEMALE 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?
One answer comes in the form of Swing Left, a rapidly growing grassroots effort organized by a loose, eclectic mix of professionals in media, tech, art and nonprofits that aims to help Democrats win the House of Representatives in 2018.
SEE ALSO: At Debug Politics, engineers try to fix everything that went wrong with the 2016 electionThe organization has mapped out the 52 so-called swing congressional districts around the country on its site, where Americans can organize and volunteer to help Democrats win districts that hold the closest of political contests. In these places, the incumbent last won by less than 15 percent of the vote -- making them the most crucial of political battlegrounds, as Business Insiderreports.
The group has grown rapidly in just the short time since Trump officially took office. The day after Trump's inauguration, on Saturday, it tweeted that it had grown by at least 20,000 people.

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.
On the group's website, users can fill in their zip code and find the swing district nearest to them.
