time: volunteer with a local or national #GOTV group to register non-voters. Deadlines loom across the country.

prep: don't like your local candidates? Pick a ballot issue, local race, or work for a candidate in a critical race somewhere else. Options run the full range of politics, so if you can't find anything to be enthusiastic about, interrogate that.

#DoOneThing

$ donate to FieldTeam6.org, and check out their voter registration tools and track record!

time: have you built a group of 4-6 like-minded activist friends? If not, voter drives are a great way to get your toes wet (or meet new friends!) Guess who has tools?! (See above.)

prep: if you're over 35, ask your doctor if you need a measles booster. This is a here-and-now disease again, sadly. Also, if you have subsidized health insurance, remember how the "Big Beautiful Bill" had a ticking time bomb for AFTER elections? Get services now if your coverage may be changing soon.

#ThreeThings every day on SimpleResistance.ORG, to inspire you to keep fighting fascism.

BREAKING: A whistleblower has alleged that USPS rushed a “potentially unlawful implementation” of Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order in a way that fails to safeguard every citizen's right to vote, according to a letter from Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s office. More to come.

#DoOneThing $: call your local school and offer to fund classroom supplies, a lunch fund, or a student pantry time: socialize with other people engaged in resistance prep: spread hope like glitter! treat despair like flu: treat symptoms, avoid spreading it, and get help as needed. #ThreeThings

#DoOneThing this week

$: back to school is expensive. Call your local school and ask to sponsor a lunch fund, cover some classroom expenses, or donate to a student pantry

time: socialize with other resistance fighters. Plan a museum outing or do some processing over postcards to voters. Build community and let off some steam.

prep: if you're feeling hope, SHARE THAT EVERYWHERE! Spread it like glitter! If you're feeling despair, treat it like the flu: treat the symptoms, get help if it's serious, but try not to infect others.

#DoOneThing $: join Costco. Create a co-op if bulk isn't your thing. time: Dems in Congress want your first-hand reports of ICE abuse. If they win control, they'll hold oversight hearings. prep: do something modestly uncomfortable—fascism wants you afraid, so practice being brave! #ThreeThings

#DoOneThing

$: Costco has tripled-down on being the good guys. They won't sell Trump's mystery beef and they pulled Calloway immediately. If bulk buys don't make sense for you, could you afford to donate spares to a food bank? Or create a community co-op with a few neighbors!

time: Democrats in Congress are collecting reports of ICE abuses. If they win control of both houses in the midterms, they plan to hold Oversight hearings into the agency, so report cases you have knowledge of. https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/immigration-dashboard

prep: fascism wants you to conform, so don't! Do something that makes you a little uncomfortable. Dress in full clown regalia to pick up milk, or wear mis-matched socks—it's all about stretching your own comfort zone a bit.

$#DoOneThing $ if you want to honor Dolly's life, we recommend a donation to your local band's uniform fund, or a library.

prep: create an analogy copy of important information. Don't try to do it all at once. Today, decide how you'll store them. You could buy an old-fashioned address book with a page for important information, or you could label a manila envelope and slide sheets of paper in for each category as you discover it.

$ if you get small treats for teachers, college students, or coaches skip the Starbucks. Get gift certificates to something local, instead.

time: reach out to military friends and family, even if you've become estranged. The military is more diverse than most credit it with, and mistreatment is creating cracks we can walk through. Peaceful resistance relies on a portion of the "men with guns" refusing to turn on citizens. Rebuild human connections today https://simpleresistance.us/military-connections/
