Ask HN: How to help again Trump's Executive Orders
I am a software engineer and disturbed by the executive orders signed by Trump. How can I best use my skills to help?
Are there any organizations out there in need of software development? Or any organizations to match engineers with projects?

Laws are much harder to stop once they are in effect. At this point my biggest advice is to make sure that the president does not have the majority votes in either the senate or the house of reps. to pass laws.
So 1) make sure your congress person knows how you feel. 2) Work for a congress candidate that you agree with. Make sure they stay in congress or are replace by a suitable candidate. 3)When congressional elections happen in 2 years be part of the change. Make sure at the very least you vote and make your views known. 4) Social media was VERY important in this election and will continue to be. Understand how it can help your cause and act upon it.
In other words, get involved by researching and understanding who needs your help.
There are no quick answers. But every election is a point to make a difference.
