Some organizations to consider joining that are standing up to authoritarianism: indivisible.org www.democracy2025.org/ www.aclu.org/ democracyforward.org www.splcenter.org front.moveon.org

Follow up to yesterday’s action: Dump Google as your browser & choose one that is not blindly following authoritarian orders. One to consider is Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees. www.ecosia.org?_sp=00000000...

Tell Google to stop caving to authoritarianism; Google Gulf of Mexico. Choose Gulf of America response; Click on 3 little dots to right of "Gulf of America". Select "Send Feedback". Click on "Gulf Of America" text. Select "Inaccurate content".Select "Incorrect" & tell Google to stop being cowards!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Call Dept. Of Justice comment line 202-353-1555 & ask to prosecute real crimes like injuring police officers on steps of capitol, mishandling classified docs, or stopping funds legally appropriated, rather than threaten Democratic lawmakers with this BS. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Call Republican Senators and tell them: Grow a spine & a moral compass. Vote no on Patel. Heed the warning of 200+ senior veterans of U.S. national security in their to letter to top Congressional leaders warning of risks of confirming Kash Patel to FBI director

Steady State, a group of 200+ senior veterans from the U.S. nat security, Homeland Security, intel, diplomatic communities, sent a letter to top Senate/House leadership warning of risks of confirming Kash Patel to FBI director

A quick and good petition to sign to protect the National Archives action.everylibrary.org/nationalarch...

$$ talks & BS walks. Especially if you have no morals- you can only be influenced by the bottom line. Elections are 2 years away, but you can vote with your $$ every day. Consider curtailing or reducing spending on companies that are caving to authoritarianism. www.newsweek.com/american-bus...

Tell the Washington Post that they are going to need to change their tagline from “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to “Democracy dies in Cowardice.” Be a profile in Courage like Danielle Sassoon, not a profile in Cowardice like so many in Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...

Another way to contact your reps about protecting your private data. Over 100,000 people have- join them. www.aclu.org/doge

Yet another issue to complain to representatives about, the protection of our social security numbers & privacy. Consider also alternative platforms to Musk’s X and if you see businesses and organizations you like using X, consider asking them to drop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

An important action you can do is let Congress know what you think. Calls and in person chats are very effective, but emails (easy to do on their websites) work too. If you have Republican reps, your voice is especially powerful. Here is a great tool to help you get started: 5calls.org

Welcome! If you are concerned about what is happening, I hope this can be a place that empowers you to take action & to share your own ideas for protecting democracy & rule of law. Will share an action about once a day, maybe a little less or more. Most will be quick - some may take more effort.
