2. Not all of these are for everyone, but we all should do some of them.

#1. Write/call your reps!!! They actually DO pay attention to the number of calls & postcards they get.

>> Google resistance postcard campaigns for writing. Avery sells postal approved 4x6 postcards (style 5889), that you can run through your printer or you can buy blank cards & hand write & decorate your cards.

>> 5 Calls is an online site & phone app that makes calling your reps easy. They have a list of issues being discussed/voted on & even have sample text for messages. Great to use for your postcards, too!

#2. Join local resistance groups. Invite those in your network to join with you. Find one here: indivisible.org.

#3. Join & volunteer with your local Democratic Party.

#4. Sport bumper stickers & put out yard signs. I had a note stuck in my front door with a message that they really appreciated that I put out a yard sign every day. If I'm out doing yard work, people honk when they drive by.

#5. Challenge those in your network if you hear defeatism. He's doing a ton of damage, but all is not lost. There are some articles of wins that we've had in the courts. We need a list of his losses somewhere on DU.

#6. Protest & invite those in your network to go with you. Offer to help with signs.

#7. Write letters to the editor. If you've ever read the LTTE section, it's not for the feint of heart. People will challenge your views, & IMO if you're going to put them out there, you should defend them too. So it's an ongoing process, one I enjoy reading but not participating in.

Those are some ideas. Like I said we can all do all of them so pick what works for you but commit to it. The 5 Calls app has been really helpful for me!
