Protest Virtually or At-Home

Can't make it to a protest today? That's OK. You can still get involved.

Today is the day! It’s 9:00 AM here and I have seen dozens of posts already!!!!

First, however you are able to participate, either by reposting stories, encouraging a friend, or hitting the streets, I’m proud of you.

If you are homebound, at work, or unable to attend in person, you can still get involved. Here’s how.

Before you go…

Don’t forget to share the COUNT with me after a protest. The list is ever growing.

RECORD demonstration numbers.
SUBMIT a story from a protest.
TELL your story or NOMINATE a person to share theirs.

Be a part of amplifying the protests.

• Tag your reps and media outlets in posts about the protests in your state.

• Email them images (without identifiable faces), crowd size counts, and stories.

• Post pictures on online community bulletin boards, Next Door apps, Facebook groups, etc.

• Repost content you come across. Add a comment & cheer them on.

4. Keep on Dissenting

Here are a few ongoing ways you can dissent on the go or from home

WRITE IN RESISTANCE

Every week, dozens of races and causes rely on volunteers to write postcards urging voters to get out and vote.

Connect with your local Democratic office or find a volunteer opportunity HERE.

CALL

Calls to our reps make a significant impact. 5 Calls will walk you through the process with ease. You can even leave messages on the weekend, encouraging your reps to take notice of the protests. Be sure to leave your name, number, and mailing address.

POSTER PROTESTS

Do you have a home printer or are you willing to spend a few dollars on copies?

Post resistance art or notices for upcoming protests in your neighborhood, in your window, or on public bulletin boards. Check into your local ordinances before you head out. Take tape, a stapler, and push pins.

POWER TO THE POSTER | This project offers several posters that can be downloaded and displayed (do not sell or distribute their designs).

SUPPORT AN ARTIST | For less than $5, you can purchase and download a poster to print from Etsy. There are hundreds of designs with stunning art. The artwork for this post was purchased from French Pear Designs.

Another I enjoyed read, “Save the Earth. Eat the Rich.” Check it out.

HONK IN PROTEST

For many of us, joining a protest in person is not an option. If there is a protest in your town or nearby, you can support them with a honk and a wave. Loop the block a few times. Encourage your fellow passengers, even tiny humans, to cheer. You can even write messages on your windows.

CHALK ART PROTESTS

Whether it’s a simple phrase or an elaborate drawing, chalk art is a great way to resist.

Grab a bucket of chalk and head to a park, walking path, or other space, and leave a message that will inspire others to resist. Post it on social media to inspire others.

IDEAS

RESIST - RESIST - RESIST
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty
Fascism thrives in silence
Protect our Parks
No Kings
A woman’s place is in the resistance
Hands off my…

Check into your local ordinances before your head out.
