Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Might we suggest vote-related messages? Create a card with dates and relevant URLs, or share something from a candidate or about a ballot measure. Tuck them into Little Libraries, pass them out, or leave in snack baskets.
Help us get the word out about Simple Resistance, by printing and distributing a zine with links to our site and others. Click through for the download link, folding instructions and more.
No matter what we’re doing, it doesn’t feel like enough. Whether we’re in a slump, or it’s just imposter syndrome, one thing cuts the ennui : talk to someone you believe is doing what you wish you could do. Invite them out for a hike or coffee and see where the conversation goes.

If you’re feeling hope, spread that like free samples at Costco! If you’re in your despair, treat it like the flu: treat the symptoms, and try not to spread it. Hope and Despair are feelings, not objective facts. Share your hope, and ask for help with your despair when you need it.
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!
Are you puttering around the house, doing laundry and getting ready for another busy week? Put on a protest playlist to fire up your motivation and help you keep resistance on the chore list.
