Characters
From Portland’s Fearless Frog to historic characters with a message, costumes add spectacle and defray the fear-based messaging of the right.
Create a persona for your protesting activities. Make it silly or pointed — it’s dress-up time!
Use Signal
Signal isn’t suitable for military-grade security, but it’s vastly better than META owned chats like Messenger or Whats App. Install Signal, learn to use it, and begin building your connections there.
Buy Banned Books
Or in this case, books by banned authors. Mark Bray was dubbed “Mr. Antifa” by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA for teaching a class on the history of “Antifa” from WWII to present. So buy his book: “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.” Drive it to the top of the lists.
