Simple and effective protest. Show those in power you mean business by taking a chunk out of their EOY profits.
This week's action: spread the word for the upcoming #BlackFridayBlackout

“…when workers withhold their labor, businesses apply financial pressure, police and military refuse orders to repress protestors, and priests, sisters and lay leaders are in the forefront—they strip autocrats of their power.“
On how Catholic leaders and communities around the world have confronted autocratic regimes and defended democratic freedoms, with lessons for faithful action in the US today. @horizonsprjt.bsky.social bit.ly/4hSOqDk
U.S. Catholics are facing an authoritarian threat. The church has been here before.
The Catholic Church in the United States today is facing a crucial test. Will Catholic leadership accommodate and adapt itself to authoritarian power? Or will it offer leadership to give hope, oppose authoritarian abuses and defend human freedom?

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Please allow me to say it differently
"If you can afford it", add an extra shopping trip to your schedule
Fill a shopping cart full of foods suitable for a food bank
Drop it off at a food bank, repeat weekly, rotate food banks

With the outlook for SNAP benefits uncertain, food banks are warning of a crisis
More Americans are turning to food banks to help fill the assistance gap, but administrators caution they aren't designed to act as a safety net for a government program.

Resistance is so much more than public protest. Among other things, it’s about sharing ideas and inspiring new ones.

Excellent idea. Assume we cannot break through digital information bubbles. There's a lot of analog world out there — that's where we can pierce through those realities.

"Artful protest transmutes the state’s might into a liability, its power into bullying paranoia, fear of it into ridicule. It converts the vulnerability of a peaceful crowd into courage and charisma. And it simplifies the moral choices of onlookers."
Quirky pictures from Portland and elsewhere are part of the iconography of protest: scenes in which the peaceful face down the mighty, often alone
