All over the internet, women are starting to organize to win the next election. Here's how you can be involved

For those who voted for Hillary Clinton and vehemently opposed Donald Trump, the raw emotions of Tuesday's surprising defeat are starting to wear off.

Now some Clinton supporters, particularly women, are getting restless and asking themselves: What can we do now? 

The answer for many: Let's organize to win the next election - and get more women involved in politics.

 For instance, a friend of mine posted to her Facebook page: 

"When Obama was elected in November 2008, his opposition formed the Tea Party and were ready to mobilize and make change happen. They elected people to school boards, city councils, and state legislatures. They showed up. They worked, and they changed the landscape of American politics. Let us seize this moment.

"March, yes. Protest peacefully, of course. But unless we DO something, the grief, mourning, and outrage will be wasted. Trump proved that the easiest emotions to mobilize into action are fear and anger. Angry and afraid? Good."

And she's right, of course. That's the beautify of democracy. Our government does not consist of people with inherited positions. It consists of citizens who run for office, volunteer for candidates, and financially support the non-profit organizations doing the change-the-world work that they support.

Clinton, in her concession speech, called out to people, particularly to one of her online fan clubs, to do just that. She said,

"To the millions of volunteers, community leaders, activists, and union organizers who knocked on doors, talked to neighbors, posted on Facebook - even in secret, private Facebook sites - I want everybody coming out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward."

That secret, private Facebook site is a 3-million-person strong group of mostly women called Pantsuit Nation.

And there's been rumbling on Pantsuit Nation that it's time to become a political action group, perhaps one with its own PAC. As one member wrote, "Dear Pantsuit Nation: How can we turn this group into one that gets more women elected to Congress and the White House going forward? Let's organize and get it done!"

Other people feel the same urge, but have no idea how to begin. One of them wrote back to my Facebook friend.

"I think you are so right. Having never been involved in politics beyond trying to stay informed, I'm not even sure where to begin. Thoughts?"

Yes. The groups listed below are working to get more women elected, to encourage young women to get active in politics and to otherwise help women's voices be heard. Check it out:
