We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

Please consider two things,
Being a little more descriptive of where you will be, so others can join you. This will come at a privacy risk of course, but considering you're not going to be covering your identity in any way on site, it may be worth it for you.
Bringing something to defend yourself. It doesn't have to be a gun, but it absolutely can be. It can also be pepper spray, a knife that is easily concealed as to not appear to be a threat, a partner/friend who could potentially help protect you or stand as a witness, etc.
We aren't at the violence stage of all of this, but I do sincerely believe it is not far away. Number one, protect you, your loved ones, and then your livelihood.
Be safe, and thank you for being a voice for those who can't.
