You have your protest sign…but do you have your protest outfit? From t-shirts to pins, wear something that takes the protest from the streets to wherever you go the rest of the day. Visit nearby businesses impacted by the protest and buy something. Tip well. If you have extra stickers or pins, pass them out to people who had to work and were sorry to miss the protest. Share protest energy wherever you go.

Public transport is a critical equalizer : the more vulnerable you are, the more you need it. Buy a monthly bus pass for yourself, or someone else. Donate one to a women’s shelter or community college if you don’t need it. And the next time public transit comes up for a vote, support it. Even if you don’t use it, you benefit: just imagine all the additional traffic if nobody rode the bus.
The economy has been staggering, and now we’re at war with Iran. That means gas prices will rise, and with them the cost of absolutely everything else. Prepare for economic uncertainty by reviewing your budget and tightening where you can. If you’re already on the edge, don’t wait until you tip over it to explore mutual aid options. Use them now, and pay it forward if you ever are able. Put on your oxygen mask.
