Your actions matter!
Successful resistance relies on individual small actions taken by people whose names will never cross Hollywood’s script-writing desks. The key is persistence: take action regularly.
We provide simple ways to reclaim your power, push back helplessness, and become part of the solution. It won’t make you a hero – or a martyr – but research suggests that if even 3.5% of the nation takes regular small action, we win!
How to get started
The Front Page
Every day the front page has three actions, one that takes time, one that takes money, and one that helps you put your own oxygen mask on first.
Pick something that interests you and just do it. If you don’t get it perfect, that’s okay! It’s more important to take action than to do it perfectly.
If you’re an “all the details” person, click through and you’ll find useful tips and links.
Random Luck
If nothing on the front page appeals, or if you’re inspired and want to do more, you can look through older posts organized by category: All Actions, Spend Time, Spend Cash, and Preparation.
If that feels like homework, throw a dart! Let the carousel scroll by and click the first thing that grabs your eye.
Social Media
The web site follows but doesn’t duplicate the daily social media posts. While we try to match topics, the posts here have far more details and resources, while the social media feeds include time-sensitive items that sometimes don’t last the day. Get inspired wherever and however works for you!
Shasta’s Facebook feed is where it started. Come for the politics, stay for the cute dog pics.
Bluesky is the daily posts, cut to fit.
Substack has the daily posts and also essays that dive more deeply into current political issues, or resistance theory and inspiration.
Next Steps
We believe what we say: it is better to do something than nothing. That means this web site is luanching in an incomplete form. We have eight months of daily items to add, so check back regularly — the options will grow quickly!
We also have some other content we’re hoping to add: a book review section to help you find inspiring or educational books that meet the moment. We’ll build some resource lists too. We know that most people are new to activism and organizing (they aren’t the same!) so our main goal is to get you started.
If you’re busy, and all you can do is one action a week, thank you for doing what you can! Life gets busy, but we hope you’ll love making the world a better place so much, you’ll never want to stop.
We hope you’ll make it a way of life.
