Virtual Events DC

Just because you can’t attend an event  in-person doesn’t mean you can’t help the cause!  There are plenty of actions you can take in the privacy of your own home.

Visit ChooseDemocracy.us to learn about fighting the administrative coup. Follow their three pillars of resisting:

1. Get with Others to Act: It’s easy in today’s society to get overwhelmed by the news and social media. It’s even easier if you don’t have a support network. Get out in the community and spread empathy.
2. Pressure the pillars of support: Autocratic leaders use the military, media, and corporations to bend society to their will. Pick a pillar and do one small thing every day to ensure pressure is applied against these pillars.
3. Devote yourself to a long-term project: Find something you’re passionate about and use that to fight against tyranny. This can be assisting a food bank, consistent protesting at a government agency, or civic disobedience.
