Resist: It's Time

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

Will this have a huge impact? Almost certainly not. But Stephen King is always on the people's side. This isn't the first political post he's ever made.
Yeah, I agree. The only thing that matters is when things have huge impact. Change happens immediately and never in small increments. It's worthless to make people aware of how they can be part of the solution. That's just messing with hope.
Edit: Really should've added the /s
I made no implication that it had to have a huge impact.
"I'm just saying..."
What is Feb 28th? The end of black history month?
Look like some sort of boycott/economic blackout event.
might just be crazy enough to work, count me in
They also understand violence. Moreso, actually.
What you all need to do is a no rent month atleast twice a year
Too broke to boycott. So I boycott everything, every day. Is it working yet?

Canadian here, we're in on it as well... have it posted on my profile 👍💪
I don't buy anything on most Fridays though. What difference could this possibly make? Most weeks I don't really buy anything other than essentials like food.
Ok, maybe a couple gallons of apple juice to make my own scrumpy isn't essential. But is not buying that really going to make a difference?

I already don't get a birthday this year, I can't even celebrate my nonbirthday?
I mean I already wasn't going to buy anything that day probably. It's not my grocery day. I basically spend no money other than groceries bills and rent anyway.
