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.

PBS Passport

You know who didn’t cancel Kimmel, or pull coverage of regime abuses? PBS, despite the funding cuts. PBS is more independent than ever, now that the regime has cut off funding, so if you need something calming in the evenings, might we recommend All Creatures Great and Small, included with the Masterpiece subscription ($5/mo or more.)

If you know a friend needs a passport, offer to help them figure it out.

Good Neighbors

Create relationships in your neighborhood. Do it formally through a neighborhood project, or take the next step with someone. Wave, borrow a cup of sugar and take back cookies, or invite them to dinner. Start slow and build.

This is especially easy to do over the holiday season when dropping by with cookies or inviting folks over for an open-house hot-cocoa bar are entirely normal things to do.
