2)DO NOT be complacent. Authoritarianism thrives on people acceptance and inevitability.
3) GET ACTIVE. Now is a great time to start registering people to vote. To join your neighborhood school PTA. Find a local organization to support. Find local politicians and help get them out there.
4)VOTE!!
5) Fight back. Take their microphone away, resist, call it out.

Stop waiting on Superman and get started.

Your #5 is what happened in UT, literally

Do you understand the meaning of the word “literally”? No one took anyone’s microphone away in UT. And also too, that’s not what #5 means.

The appeasers, which includes universities, law firms, and today, ABC, are killing us. They are allowing the fascists to pick us off one by one. Remember the saying, if we don't hang together, we will surely hang individually. The appeasers think that they are saving themselves, but they are just signaling that they are easy marks. Make the fascists fight to take our freedom. Don't just give it to them.

But what does this mean practically? I'm a regular ole' Mom in Chicago. What are some concrete things I can do?

Go to Indivisible website, plug in your zip code and you will find a grassroots group within a few miles. Reach out, attend a meeting, join a protest, offer to help.

Thank you for getting in the fight!
