Day 55. I’m healing up, and getting ready for action.
There are a lot of people starting groups to act in the face of what’s to come. I’m proud and relieved to see that I’m one of many. As we get ready to engage, I’m seeing that some of these have a broader audience than I do. That makes me think about how I can help in the best way possible.
I’ve discovered Wall-of-Us, which publishes four actions each week, along with scripts and background. I find their work well-researched and generally oriented in the right direction. Some is stuff that’s very easy to do online, like this action, tweeting at advertisers on Breitbart News, to get them to remove their ads. It’s already had some success. I did it, and it was very easy (and can even be automated)
Others emphasize working locally, and I think that’s especially important. As I’ve written before, local actions are tactics the Tea Party used to great effect in the past.
In addition to the work I’m doing here, I’m also thinking about how to best work locally, in person, to effect positive change.
