Spread hope
Buy some fun post-it notes, stationery, or even a printer, and start leaving inspiring messages all around town and anywhere you travel for people to find, like tiny, any-time protest signs.
Crack ICE
Sludge media has created an interactive map of ICE contractors around the nation. Click through to find contracts in your area. Contact the companies. Be polite. Many contracts date to January 2025 and some will have already ended. Ask questions and make a plan accordingly. Simply calling with questions lets them know future contracts might be dangerous. If they are actively or defiantly allied with ICE, boycott, or consider protests to raise awareness.
Break ennui

Click through for ways to re-calibrate, or go to 5 calls and pick a script. Break ennui by doing something. Then do something again tomorrow.
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.
5 minutes
Are you a busy person who wishes you could do more? We have a clear philosophy: start where you are and take one step forward. Choose a schedule you can keep and commit to one five minute act of resistance. It can be daily (while you wait for the coffee to perk) or weekly (during your lunch break Wednesday) or even monthly. What’s key is this: it should be a little more (or in addition to) what you’ve done.
