Maybe you’re wondering, “What should I do in these times?” What we have put down here are some meaningful places to start — doable, local, impactful, and important.

It is not intended to be inclusive of all options — we’re trying to offer places we see people making impacts and avenues that as experienced organizers thinking about these times we see as worth going down.

Where possible, we offer names of groups who are organizing such things and can help you plug in to their strategy.

No matter where you come from, here are some ideas if you want to help stand for a world with tolerance and love, racial justice and acceptance of all people.

So, this is exactly what I need, but I don't want it linked to my account. Maybe onion share or something anonymous? Please?

Also, I'll share this. Buy the book. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhZxrogyToZsllfRqQllyuFNbT-ER7TAu

Thank you, immediately saved and gonna download it later on. Many of these steps are only partially useful for me here in Germany, but since the AfD is on the rise as well, it might come in handy. I wish that it won't need to, though.

Thanks for posting this, I'm looking through this afternoon and will distribute to folks I know that might be looking for ways to help.

i am one of those people! super glad alyaza posted these. i've felt motivated lately like everyone else, but i haven't done much direct action in like a decade so i'm not sure where to begin. These resources are so so awesome to have in this moment.

Sharing this with my recently retired parents who have time and money on hand :)

Is there a webpage or public link with this? I want to share it widely but I don't want to crash someone's Google Docs account.

no, but it is a file hosted by Choose Democracy's "What if Trump Wins?" initiative, so rest assured it's not just some random person's account. there's other resources on both websites also
