Still looking for your crew? May Day offers an opportunity: call an old friend and invite them to play hookie with you. You can attend a protest together, or pretend you’re back in high school and call in sick! It’s a chance to reconnect, find out who your allies are, and build connections. It could even be the nucleus of your resistance pod!
Are you a busy person who wishes you could do more? Start where you are and take one step forward. Commit to one five minute act of resistance on a regular schedule you can keep: once a day or once a week. Do what you can. Do the same thing every time (call Congress?) or use our list of quick tasks for inspiration.
If you don’t know anyone transgender and the whole thing makes you uncomfortable, watch “Will & Harper,” a documentary about Will Farrell taking a road trip with an old friend, newly out. If you already on-board get a button to wear, print zines, and don’t forget to call your state Senator to ask if there’s legislation you need to oppose!
