Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Create a ‘zine with a list of local businesses engaged in mutual aid, or spread the word about an action (Whistles?) or a resource like this web site. Write little encouraging notes and tuck them into packs of afternoon joy.
Afternoon tea is a luxury not everyone can afford right now. Spreading joy is resistance!
YES, again. We know…three days running now. Call EVERY Senator and tell them the shutdown continues until health care funding is fully restored. This is especially critical for moderate Democrats who are wavering. Our choice isn’t “food or health care.” If we flinch, they’ll take both. If we win, we save both. Call every day until the Democrats publicly commit to stand firm, or the GOP caves.
Buy tickets for yourself (and a friend?) and attend a local entertainment event, especially if it’s a benefit for a cause you value! Musicians, spoken word poets, theater—joy is resistance!
Choose venues and artists who live in your region, and spend what you can to bolster the local community. The economic downturns hit artists hard.
