Mass Defiance: A Living Resource Page
What is this thing? It’s an imperfect gathering of resources to help us resist and thrive in the midst of this particular geo-political moment. It's a DIY list. It’s a choose your own adventure. It’s an idea. It’s yours. So… take it, remake it, share it, add to it (see the form link below) and spread the word/joy/love. We got us.
“Gum up the works. Refuse to comply. Even in the darkest times, there will be incandescence. Sometimes, that light comes not from grand theories, monarchs, political leaders, or activists, but from the small, flickering flames of many ordinary people who choose to stand on the side of their own morality.“ The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We | The Nation.
