πŸ“˜ How do I support protestors without going to the protest in person?

Renounce > Refuse > Resist. You don’t have to be on the front lines to help. You can do more than you think from where you are.

What You Can Do

  1. Find and follow protest organizers on social media β€” share their posts, boost their visibility, and ask how you can help remotely.
  2. Donate directly β€” like Good Trouble Lives On, which accepts donations to support protest logistics, permits, and other materials.
  3. Support their needs in kind β€” many organizers publish Amazon wish lists for water, masks, and supplies.
  4. Contact your elected officials β€” let them know peaceful protestors must be protected, not criminalized or surveilled.
  5. Protect the narrative β€” share reliable reporting, fact-check disinfo, and center the voices of those on the ground. Idiots & Charlatans is your best tool to do this!
