Take Action

Think about your own skills and interests, and find a role. What are you good at? Organizing? Driving? Protesting? Calling? Writing? Cooking? Pick something and put it to work. Every act matters:

• Bake and sell cookies and donate the money to a local resistance group.
• Show up at one protest every week, to swell the numbers.
• Send postcards to your Representative or Senator.
• Join schoolboards
• Join community groups
• Help local campaigns
• Help register one new voter.
• Call out lies.
• Share facts on your social media.
• Say no when silence would be easier.
• Organize, create, speak up.

You don’t have to do it all. But do something.

One of the simplest things you can do to #resist is to contact your representative at the local, state, or even federal level and tell them what you think about a proposed or enacted policy,executive order, or action.

From time to time we post calls to action on our Facebook or Bluesky accounts with templates of things to say – or not say – in these communications.

Call and tell them what you think!

Still unsure what to say? Head over to 5Calls.org. They have pre-made guides for various topics to help you find the best way to get your message across.

You can find events posted on our Facebook page, or bluesky, or by other resistance groups and influencers around the web.

Check sites like 50501 and Indivisible. They publish many of the upcoming protests (See our notes below on protecting yourself when protesting).

Tell Republicans the obvious. Their power and jobs are obsolete with a dictator or oligarchy.

Follow online best practice tips presented by Surveillance Self-Defense or similar.

• Remember that even if you browse in incognito mode, your computer saves resolved DNS cache of the websites you visit and can be viewed with ipconfig/displaydns

When protesting in public:

• Wear highly visible clothing
• Avoid physical confrontation and violence
• Watch for traffic
• If gassed, only use water to flush out your eyes or the eyes of others. Although milk is often used to mitigate capsacin when eating, your eyes and your mouth are different things.
• Consider taking steps to mitigate facial recognition software.

If you are organizing a protest and are concerned you are under active surveillance, do not contact other members of your team from home or from your regular phone. Public wifi hotspots can help keep you anonymous. Consider using the Tails operating system and Tor Browser. Start your Tails session immediately before contacting them, and close it immediately afterward.

Are you planning an event or protest and want to reach out to the media? Or just want to contact them to tell them to stop dancing around what is happening and be clear? Use this handy list.
