How Can Peoples’ People Practice Resistance?

With so much injustice to resist, what can you do to develop or reinvigorate your resistance superpowers?

• If you’re a newbie, baby-step your way into it.  Even “just” making a sign for someone else to carry makes the resistance more powerful.

• Pick a lane and stay in it.  As one YouTuber puts it, “Resistance isn’t a country road; it’s a super-highway.  You don’t have to be in every lane every day.  Pick one and commit to taking consistent action in that lane.”

• Allow yourself to have some fun with it.  Who says you can’t show up to a demonstration wearing an inflatable frog costume?

• Choose hope. Notice all the others like yourself who are courageously resisting what’s unjust.

• Embrace your power. Remember that even pebbles create ripples, and enough ripples can turn into a flood.

• Remember that this all ends when enough of us say NO.
