Be Social
Invite a friend to lunch to talk about politics, or organize a politically inspired group event. Book club, museum outing, postcard writing, protest carpool. Build a pool of friends you can talk things over with. Take turns processing, or create a “news group” to research rapidly emerging information.
How to do it:
This can be as simple or complicated as you want. Start a book group for inspiring or educational books about resistance, or invite a friend to go to a museum exhibit you’re interested in. Have a British High Tea with postcards to voters and fancy pens, or plan a group outing to a protest. Plan a charcuterie and collage party, or visit the farmers market with a buddy.
Do something to build resistance into your day to day social world. The things we do with friends, we keep doing. If you have no like-minded local friends, look for a way to connect online. There are virtual book clubs, library groups or you could plan a trip to a nearby city event.
