Gift the News
Maybe you have a local friend or neighbor who would like to stay in the know on community happenings, but can’t afford it. Gift them a year’s subscription to a local newspaper or PBS station!
Snack stop
Do you run a mutual-aid or community-building space? Set up a temporary snack stop. Just clear a bookshelf or table and put out a bowl of healthy snacks for anyone who is hungry. It’s an easy way to help feed people who aren’t used to needing help.
Or convert a little free library into a pantry or snack-stop until the shutdown is resolved.
Invest in Resilience
Splurge on a convenience that will free up time or energy for resistance work. If you always burn the rice, get a rice cooker and call your Senator whenever you use it. Or hire someone to help with chores, if you can afford to. Many people will need cash side-gigs.
