Yes to all of this! And yes to radical realism- assessing the *actual* amount of time and energy we have to do more than we're already doing. To focusing on one or two things that we care deeply about and taking incremental steps to help a greater good come into being. Rest, find your people, do what you can when you can.
Thank you for writing this. It’s so important to not drown in online outrage. Banding together with our communities is the only way we will fight this and win.
Thank you for this. And thank you for the link to where to contribute to community and resistance. As a Canadian in Vancouver, I can't show up on your streets, but I can send money. Your link was the same one I found after quite a bit of online searching last night and earlier today. Good to know I was on the right track.
Love the pragmatic action framework here. Breaking resistance down into one concrete daily action cuts through overwhelm way better than vague calls to "do something." The Somali farmer examples in Lewiston and elsewhere show how immigrant communitites literally sustain dying towns, not just economically but socially too. Had a friend who volunteeredat a shelter last winter and she said the local turnout tripled once people realized it was about neighbors helping neighbors, not abstract charity. Small steady actions compound.
