Actively support the content you want to see online. We’re in an eternal war with social media’s commercialization. They want to show you ads. You want to see friends, activists, or cute dogs.
Every time you see something you like, interact with it. Your feed will improve quickly, and everyone around you benefits too.
Go to a museum. Visit a park. Ride the bus. If we don’t use public resources, they look expendable. When we appreciate them, we stand up for them. Pay admission, or check your city for “public access” dates. (In Seattle, that’s the first Thursday of each month.)
Experts on resisting fascism recommend that we identify our values. When we know what our bottom line is, it’s harder to be shoved over it.
Experienced organizers suggest that we identify our “lane” : what do we want to work on, and how do we want to do it? Identify your values and priorities to resist effectively.
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.
