Use Signal
Signal isn’t suitable for military-grade security, but it’s vastly better than META owned chats like Messenger or Whats App. Install Signal, learn to use it, and begin building your connections there.

Small Spectacles
It’s hard to bring tens of thousands together if the roads turn to ice, so protests have shifted smaller in the winter months. That doesn’t mean they aren’t happening: there are protests organizing around January 6th (the insurrection) and January 20th (the inauguration.) Find a local protest and join, even if it’s just for an hour. Keep the energy alive through the darkest season!
