Book Club
Find or start a book club! Check the library, local bookstores, or ask online to find a book club. Many people have started resistance-oriented clubs in the past year, but any group will encourage reading and build community. Or start one—it’s easier than you think!
Witness Our Crimes
CONTENT WARNING : there’s nothing simple about reading a torture report, but we think it’s important for every American to know our taxes are being used to actively torture people into “self-deporting.” The ACLU report made us nauseous. If you have PTSD you may need to avoid this task, but if you are able, be a witness, and then spread the word, call congress, and fund the ACLU.

Donate to the ACLU. They’re the frontline documenting abuses against detainees, and defending the constitution. Without their work, there’s a lot we wouldn’t even know about.
