Fix-it Clinic
Behind all the problems we face is an underlying thread: corporate power. Fixing things instead of replacing them is one way to take back control. Many areas have fix-it events now, where people with skills and tools make themselves available for everything from patching clothes to soldering connections. The Right to Repair movement thinks when you buy something, you should be able to keep it functioning. Fixing what we can is the first step.
Go to a Museum
Plan a trip to a museum, park, arboretum this weekend. 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!
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!
Thrift Better
Goodwill is convenient, but commercial, and religious charities may discriminate in distribution efforts. What to do? Most areas have at least a few thrift stores designed to benefit a specific target cause: DV victims or immigrants or animals. Some stores accept specific goods like home building or pet supplies that others won’t take. Research local options and take another step away from commercialism!
Feeding America
Recommended by food banks and Charity Navigator, Feeding America runs a nationwide food distribution network, channeling unsold “waste” food to food banks who distribute it to local charities. As we face yet more economic disruption, they have the infrastructure to respond at scale. Donate today.
