Good Neighbors
Create relationships in your neighborhood. Do it formally through a neighborhood project, or take the next step with someone. Wave, borrow a cup of sugar and take back cookies, or invite them to dinner. Start slow and build.
Protests that Count
There are multiple forms of protest, but today we’re going to talk about the BIG dates. These are the coordinated events nationwide where the key is visibility — and crowd numbers. Sign up for events like the October 18th No Kings! protest to help organizers report on attendance. If you live in a small place, register your event even if it’s only a dozen people. Report attendance to be counted in the whole!

Military Connections
Reconnect with friends or family in the military. Start with an email or postcard if you’re estranged. If even that seems like too much, take a veteran friend to lunch and ask if they’re willing to put in the labor of talking about military culture. Cultural sensitivity is always the first step in alliance.
