This is the snowball effect we need right now

:: Only got 5 minutes? Even if all you do is #3 listed under "Do this + feel better" below, you'll be helping. But #1 is all-hands-on-deck, so I hope you can make it. 🏋️♀️ :: I believe that when this coup-in-progress leaves you feeling frozen and powerless, the antidote is one tiny step forward: Add a Zoom call to your calendar. Install the 5 Calls app. Share an article in your group chat. Forward this message to a friend. Because a funny thing happens when you take that tiny step forward....
A dumpster labeled "government" is on fire, and a firehose labeled "the people" puts the fire out

When you’re outraged but feel frozen, this will help

:: Only got 5 minutes? Even if all you do is block your calendar for #3 under "Do this + feel better" below, you'll have done something important. 🤗 :: Multiple times every day, usually after the gut punch of a news alert about the latest horrific action taken by this administration, I'll think, "I need to DO something."

For the days you find yourself doubting our collective power

:: Only got 5 minutes? Even if all you do is drive by and honk Saturday morning, you'll be doing something. And something is better than nothing! (See #1 listed below under "Do this + feel better.") 🙌 :: If you ever find yourself doubting whether we can make a difference by coming together and exercising our power, think of the Tesla Takedown efforts around the country. To take a stand against the broligarchy that's ripping away our freedoms and endangering our families, Americans are selling...

If doomscrolling's got you down, here's the answer

:: Only got 5 minutes? Even if all you do is #2 under "Do this + feel better" below, you'll be doing your part. With that said, #3 doesn't happen often, so I'm hoping you can make it! 🤩 :: I have a confession: Last weekend, I felt so incredibly down.
