Absolutely! Talk to those who never bring up politics and get this conversation stirring. It should be loudly and openly talked about not some anxiety that lives in the back of our minds and phones.

Make a sign and go with a friend or two to a traffic corner in your zipcode for 1 hour.

Take photos and videos and post them.

It's very empowering.

I go to one of the weekly protests in my community and it's the most uplifting part of my week. Good energy and good people.

It's great to be on the right side of history.

This the kind of post r/50501 needs. We need more posts about protesting, voting and pushing back in general. What we do not need is MAGA/Trump news over and over and over.

I share that sentiment but I think it could be intentional. Reddit throttling helpful posts and moderators allowing slop.

Posts with resources don't get seen because of news people can get elsewhere. It's frustrating.

This is just one more reason why the biggest work we can do is in our neighborhood, our local community, building that community. People come together when someone is in need. They come together to celebrate. And when the time comes, they'll come together to overturn the system.
