build community

Resistance runs on community. From mutual aid to feed our neighbors during a government shutdown, to showing up to vote for the school expansion or running towards whistles to chase ICE away, community is key to resilience and resistance.

Share your hard-won knowledge about bureaucratic tasks. When you check your voter registration, remind others (with instructions!) If you know a friend needs a passport, offer to help them figure it out. Together we cut through their red tape!
