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.
Recurring donations
Charities get once-a-year donation booms at the holidays, then have a drought afterwards. If you are able, set up a small, recurring donation they can rely on.

Military Connections
Service members are in a tight spot: it’s illegal to refuse legal orders, or to follow illegal ones. Courts take months to decide, and service members face prison if they get it wrong. Show a friend or family member we have their back, especially if they face deployment to a place we shouldn’t be, like Venezuela, Greenland, or Minneapolis.

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.
Food Banks need Cash
Food banks can stretch your dollar further by buying what they really need at wholesale. If the holiday season feels busy don’t grab a few sale cans to throw in a box — donate that money to the food bank directly. If you’re able, make it recurring.

Half-Ass It
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly! Go to the protest without a sign – you still count. Call your Senator and rant at the machine. Donate $5 when you can. Replace some of your Amazon purchases with local stores. If reading a history book is overwhelming, listen to inspiring fiction. Embrace the power of doing something, and together it will be enough.
“Did it” Diary
Instead of a resolution, could we suggest a recollection? Pause to remember everything you’ve done to resist! If you’re just getting started or always draw a blank, then start a “did-it diary” for the coming year!
