Are you a busy person who wishes you could resist more? 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. It can be five minutes of a larger task, or discrete, individual actions. What’s key is this: do just a little more than you were doing.

If you’re looking for something easy to do on days you’re too busy for bigger tasks…how about postcards to voters? There’s always a campaign (right now it’s Supreme Court Judges in Wisconsin) and once you’re set up you can get sets of as few as five addresses. Think what you could do in a month, one card at a time!
