Hannukiah

Show Up

Movies teach us resistance is about complicated plots and brave attacks, but mostly, it isn’t. Resistance is about sticking together and refusing to give up. Yesterday I felt blue, and first a friend mentioned getting a good idea on this site, then another friend showed up to laugh and eat at a public Chanukiah lighting. I feel better today. Who can you encourage, right now?

Leave Reviews

From restaurants to books, small businesses rely on word of mouth and reviews. As shipping windows close for the holidays, many people will turn to big box options. Boost local businesses online with reviews and by talking about them. Ask for recommendations on social media, and then shop there. There’s still time to minimize Big Box Buys!

Committee for the First Amendment

The Committee for the First Amendment was a McCarthy era resistance group out of Hollywood. Jane Fonda’s father was a founder, and she has re-launched the group. They’re starting with a bang, with an interview with Filipino-American journalist, social media researcher, and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Ressa. We highly recommend watching it!
