Spend Money

There are many opinions on how to wield economic pressure effectively, but this one is simple: don’t cross a picket line.

Starbucks’s workers walked out November 13th in a nationwide open-ended strike. Pick a different coffee shop until the strike ends.

Opinion shifts with popularity. That’s true from music to politics, so be part of a conscious shift to blame Republicans for what they do. Stickers are a great way to spread a message anonymously. From stickers in public bathrooms with scan codes, to “I did that” Trump stickers on price labels, there are myriad creative opportunities. You can even make your own stickers!

Instead of annual gifts at the holidays, or for pledge drives, shift to equivalent recurring donations. This is especially important for food banks this year, with another government shutdown looming in February.

If finances are tight, see if there is a subscription you can cancel, and send that money to a worthy cause each month.
