minus-squarescoobford@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down1·edit-25 hours agoOk, so serious answer for our friends who don’t live in places without an active culture of protest: Vote. No, really. If people actually fucking voted, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Give money to advocacy organizations Give your time and money to mutual aid organizations Read the news (not just on lemmy either) CALL your congresspeople. Emails and letters are better than nothing, but do not have the same impact. Try to get your friends to do #1-5

minus-squarescoobford@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 hours agoWe don’t need to match a billionaire. We just need to finance lawyers and advocates to work on our behalf. As bad as things are now, think about how much quicker things would devolve without organizations like planned parenthood, the EFF, and the ACLU.
