“No one can stop them…”

…but together, everyone will.

Data Rescue Project

Save Data

From the Library of Alexandria to the famous Nazi burning of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, lost knowledge carries a special despair. Since Trump took office the administration has razing knowledge from decades of climate data to NASA’s Goddard library, on the chopping block for its land. The Data Rescue Project exists to save what we can. Donate or volunteer today.

Break ennui

Normalization numbs us. It tells us we’d be a chump to keep acting like things are on fire. Panic burns us out with the same result: we stop taking action. List five things that are wrong, but that you don’t think about much, anymore. Now imagine a time traveler telling you about them five years ago. How would you have reacted?

poll election

Be a Poll Watcher

Poll watchers observe election sites to ensure fair and open access. Rules vary by state, but this is definitely a case of “sunshine is the best disinfectant.” In some areas, poll watchers are still needed. Contact Indivisible or your local party office to see if there is still time to help!

We don’t need a hero.
We need 12.2 million average Americans.

We believe…

That non-violent resistance is the most effective way to restore democracy. Research tells us that when 3.5% of a population engages in sustained resistance, democracy wins. In the U.S. that’s a whopping 12.2 million people, but for some perspective, it’s only 16% of the people who cast a vote for Harris/Walz in 2024 (74.7 million).

To beat back fascism, we need a whole lot of average Americans to start taking small, regular actions. That’s our whole “lane” : simple ideas to get you started.

We know…

That it’s hard to take action. Most of the things we can do feel so small they couldn’t possibly matter. Figuring out what to do when there are so many problems and a firehose of bad news is overwhelming.

Worse, even small actions take real courage! Calling your Senator, protesting, or speaking up feels like too little AND it’s hard! It’s easier to convince ourselves it couldn’t possibly matter, and do nothing. Take it from us: the only thing that has ever mattered is doing something.

We think…

If you’re here, you want to be on the right side of history. You want to look back and say “I did all that I could.” You’re taking the first step right now. Bookmark this site, or follow our daily posts on social media (BlueSky, Substack & Facebook), and take action as often as you can.

Daily, weekly, or one weekend a month like a civilian anti-fascist National Guard: make resistance a habit. We’re average people, just like you, doing what we can to help others overcome decision paralysis so we can get to work.

regular public protest helps build the movement

On June 14th, more than 5 million Americans rose up. October 18th, we do it again.

NO KINGS!

Why do we organize tasks into three categories?

Over time, as we back-load eight months of daily tasks, we will introduce tags to help you find activities quickly. This is all entirely volunteer run, with no monetization, so please be patient. 🙂

Spend Money

If you’re tight on time, every resistance group can use money towards the fight! We try to offer a mix of options from recurring donations to vetted groups, to spending changes that put your money to work for your values.

Spend Time

Putting our time and energy into resistance is the backbone of the movement. Whether you’re retired but not sure where to start, or you have an hour once a week, we’ll help you find something you have time for. (We hope to add a “quick actions” option soon, with tasks that take ten minutes or less.)

Get Prepared

Resistance takes time and stamina, which means we have to prepare for the long haul. That means putting our own oxygen mask on first! In this category we’ll help you build resilience, community, and knowledge.
