One Day Ago:
Go to a Museum
Plan a trip to a museum, park, or arboretum this weekend. Choose something that will educate you, or pick peace, with art or experience. Pay admission, or check your city for “public access” dates, discounts, or tickets from the library. Explore the place you live and expand your world!
Humanize People
Fascism starts with groups the general public already harbors doubts about. It looks for cracks. Push back by humanizing everyone. Don’t let mis-gendering of trans folks pass. Dismantle racist tropes like the idea that Black people have less physical pain. Look for the Achilles heel in your own beliefs- which group feels different to you?…
Fight antisemitism
When Israelis or Jews are attacked, a growing subset of the left blames the victims: “Bondi Beach was a false flag.” ” The Flight 1073 hijacking was an Israeli plot.” On Oct7th there are worldwide celebrations of an event some say Israel committed to give an excuse for genocide. So why are they celebrating?…
Two Days Ago:
Subversive Snacks
Bring snacks in containers decorated with non-partisan pro-constitution messages, or with rainbows or other symbols of equality. Joining mild triggers with positive rewards can counter reactivity. Associating treats with ideas works for humans, too.
Leave Reviews
From restaurants to books, small businesses rely on word of mouth and reviews. Make a habit of leaving a quick review after eating or shopping at a locally-owned business, or review your favorite find each week. Reviews don’t just persuade customers, they also unlock rank. Many systems require a set number of reviews before raising…
Search Options
As of Tuesday May 26th, 2026 Google Search is AI-first. In a nutshell they’re moving towards searches returning an AI-only experience, though it will not be a default at first. Try udm14, Duck Duck Go or Kagi as alternatives.
Three Days Ago:
Tithe for Change
If you are a member of a religious organization call the office and ask how to get involved with the program feeding and housing people in your area. Volunteer or donate to that committee or group.
If your religious organization isn’t helping struggling people divert your usual contributions to a group that is. Tell them…
Check Registration
Deadlines loom across the nation. Check your voter registration now, and again before the last date in your state to re-register if you get purged. Do it today.
Get Certified Documents
Voter ID laws may have changed where you are. Check for new rules and collect whatever you need to ensure you can vote. If you’re in good shape, check with friends, or work on other official papers like a certified birth certificate and passport.
Four Days Ago:
Save Data
From the Library of Alexandria to the famous Nazi burning of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, lost knowledge carries a special despair. Since Trump took office the administration has razing knowledge from decades of climate data to NASA’s Goddard library, on the chopping block for its land. The Data Rescue Project exists to save what we…
Daily Puzzle
Enjoy a daily word puzzle? Put that mental energy into resistance! Pick a story and set yourself the task of an “elevator pitch’ to explain it. Use your pitch in conversation, or write it onto post-it notes and leave them in relevant places! Or turn it into a competition with friends!
Travel
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness” – Mark Twain. Make a plan to spend time in another country if you can. Even a lunch trip to Canada can remind you that our nation didn’t always feel like this. If you can’t risk a border crossing, or can’t afford international travel, plan a trip…
Five Days Ago:
Field Team 6
Field Team 6 registers Dem-likely voters. In ’24 they registered 6 million new voters, 2/3 of whom voted. To do that, they contacted 25 million people — so they need your help! Donate something today, and if you’re in a target state, learn how easy they make this work!
GOTV
Democracy is an average of who shows up, so volunteer with FieldTeam6.org if you’re all-in on elections. Choose SeedtheVote.org if you’re ambivalent — they build local organizing power that outlasts elections.
Pick a race
There are dozens of competitive races nationwide with candidates ranging from DINO to DSA. To flip Congress, we have to win most of them. Pick a candidate you like and get to work! Write postcards, make phone calls, reach out to friends in the area, or donate.
Six Days Ago:
Small Bookstores
Before the internet, bookstores were the commons for information and community. Today, like all local brick-and-mortar, they’re nearly extinct. We can’t fight oligarchs without addressing monopoly, so one of the ways we resist is through supporting local business. Buy your books locally when you can. If you buy online, use Bookstore.org — they donate a…
Read a Book
It’s starting to be cozy weather for curling up with tea and a book! Retrain your mind to stick with one topic for more than a few minutes. If it’s been a while, start with a long-form article. Like muscles, our brains need exercise!
Eradicate Obstacles
We all have a long list of things we’re going to get to any day now. From calling Congress to having lunch with a friend, most of us are chronically behind on everything, and resistance is no exception. Because resisting is a new habit for many of us, it takes conscious planning to make sure…
Seven Days Ago:
Trick or Meal
Food insecurity affects millions of American children. Make halloween a fun but practical night by by including simple kid-friendly real food as an option in your Halloween bowl: fruit cups, shelf-stable strawberry milk, mac-n-cheeese cups…
Hellmouth
It’s October! Plan a party or yard display around a political theme like “Death of Democracy.” Create a political costume that expresses your hopes or fears.
If you live in a conservative area, turn up the volume on a caricature of Trump. Then play it perfectly straight.
