On Valentines day, or any day dedicated to recognizing our love for each other, find a way to step outside commercialism into care. What causes are important to the person you’re celebrating? Center those values! Have dinner at an ethnic restaurant from a place they’ve always wanted to travel, or make a nice dinner at home and donate what you would have spent to their favorite charity.
Are you planning a spring garden? Help build food resilience: donate extra seed to a seed library, grow starts or seedlings to share, or plant extra food. Food resilience is mutual aid, and prices are skyrocketing. Help other gardeners afford to grow, and support healthy locally grown food.
Life gets busy. Dump the guilt and make this a weekend of resistance! Engage in one action each day: an act of political resistance (call Congress), community support (try the library), and visibility (wear a protest pin). Click through for ideas and inspiration.
