Some things are easier to do in a group. If you have like-minded friends you’d like to build a resistance pod with, we’ve tagged simple tasks that lend themselves to group activities, like visiting a museum or forming a book club. Build on the relationships you already have and create an agile ready-response team that can tackle whatever comes up!
Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Write little encouraging notes or print a zine and tuck little bags of joy and resistance into public spaces. Spreading joy is resistance!
Build a pool of friends you can talk things over with. Take turns processing, start a book club, or just check in once a month over wine. Reach out to someone today for a casual walk, or to plan a get-together.
Do something outside your comfort zone today. Go to a protest, call your senator, or join a local group to learn more. Or do something that isn’t resistance related at all! Speak in public or invite someone to lunch. Practice courage and you’ll build courage!
