Ready to Cause Good Trouble?
Weekends are for rest. . . or to protest.
Dissenters, we made it to FRIDAY!!!!! HOORAY!
Weekends can be times to devour books, binge-watch Firefly, or take the fur baby on a walk. It can also be a time for activism.
Below you’ll find a few weekend events, and I need your help, so read ⬇️.
ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
Next week, I will launch a 🗺️ MAP of protests, strikes, and events.
Submit events HERE.*
*At this time, posted events will be limited to those sponsored by an organization OR with a page where I can send interested persons.
CHALLENGE
Rest! That’s the challenge.
Not zone out (it’s tempting, I know), but spend 15 minutes, an hour, or two hours, engaged in an activity that refreshes you.
We have a long road ahead of us. We must reset our nervous systems so that we don’t go Karen on a hapless staffer when we call our representatives.
PROTESTS & EVENTS
🗒️ Disclaimer: While I do my best to vet organizations, it rests upon you to do your own research, take precautions, and make informed choices. Be safe. Be kind. Be loud.

Dissenting Business Spotlight
Our dollar is one of our most powerful tools. We have all seen that power in the cases of Costco vs Target.
Every week, I will remind us of another brand doing the good work of loving their community, their customers, and their world.
COMMENT to nominate a business.
Britbox and ACORN are two alternatives to american companies. ACORN has the long-running CANADIAN Murdoch mystery series. ACORN is now affiliated with AMC, but not sure of their politics.
Would also love to see consumers show up by cancelling Netflix and Hulu and go with nothing or switch to a Canadian company streaming service if such thing exists. I love those streaming services but would send a loud message if millions of Americans just cancelled.
