Resistance Movement: Individual involvement in resistance movements, past or present, plays a vital role in advancing the cause and can profoundly affect the person participating. By contributing skills, spreading awareness, and taking action, individuals help challenge injustice and build solidarity. Their efforts not only strengthen the movement but also foster personal growth, courage, and a sense of purpose.
Resistance can occur either in public settings or within the privacy of your own home.
We are in a marathon to save our democracy. Check out the extensive list of protests, actions, and events. Find what suits your comfort level (or slightly above your comfort level) and take action every day! This is how we do it
