Talk to your friends, your coworkers, your extended networks and families and encourage them to get involved. Increase symbols of resistance with buttons, bracelets, T-shirts, stickers, and more. You can find ones you like, or make your own. (Join our group to get alerts about local resistance crafting popups!) Join the Signs of Solidarity campaign where local people ask their favorite local businesses to put up signs welcoming immigrants & while holding federal officers such as ICE accountable to actually following the law. Stay connected to your loved ones who are still deeply entrenched in this regime's propaganda. More and more people are waking up to the fact that they've been lied to, and as they do, we have an opportunity to connect them to a shared reality and set of goals. Check out Knitting Cult Lady on YouTube to learn general info about the realities of how someone leaves a deeply entrenched ideology, and LeavingMaga for some specific stories about how that has manifested. Remember: This movement is about we the people demanding democracy, free speech, and due process for all. |
Encourage your Federal representatives to fight for you! Call your House Representative & Senators regarding the government shutdown over healthcare access. Urge your senators to call for Chuck Schumer step down from senate minority leadership due to his inability to maintain a unified & effective opposition party. Thank those who have refused to vote for a budget bill unless it restores the ACA tax credits & Medicare funding that the were cut earlier this year, without which healthcare will become cost prohibitive for millions of Americans, leading to an estimated annual 50k needless deaths per year. It's especially important to encourage our reps right now as the regime is drumming up added hardships for our most vulnerable populations (e.g. refusing to pay out SNAP benefits, despite there being an emergency fund explicitly set up for this and 2 separate judges having ordered those funds to be released). Demand better from those who voted to continue those cuts and have been unwilling to negotiate a deal that will protect our healthcare system; you deserve a representative who actually votes with your best interests in mind. Here is a useful tool for getting connected with your reps, with helpful tips & guidance: 5calls.org |
Members of the federal government want to stoke violence & rioting, because it gives them a useful narrative to advance an authoritarian agenda. Do not take the bait. The path to saving American democracy is with strategic nonviolent resistance. Be silly Be joyful Be everywhere Be undeniable This regime is actively harming people, and increasingly seems to either not care, or actively take pleasure in it. It is maddening, it is enraging, and it is heartbreaking. We need to be there for each other, both materially with mass mutual aid, and emotionally via human connection. If you are feeling lost or overwhelmed, check out the Kitsap-Wide Events calendar and get connected with your community. Together, we can do this. |

We have gathered many hundreds of pounds donations from the Bainbridge Island community.
"...Must have been around 200+lbs of food. Today was food distribution so it was given out as soon as I brought it in. Together we can make a difference." - volunteer
