Inspired by adrienne maree brown – When those with power are doing inhumane or anti-planet things, our choice – no our mandate – is to be disruptive, to be impolite, as one of the ways we wage small resistance that can become mass resistance and large-scale cultural and political transformation.

Small resistance has historically included actions like slowing things down, enslaved people teaching each other how to read and write, letting a fugitive sleep in your basement, slipping each other cannabis for medicine.

Small resistance these days looks like turning people who are supporting and promotion racist, transphobic, and inhumane policies away from your door. It looks like naming -isms and -phobias in real time and learning together. It means holding congresspeople accountable who make decisions that harm our fellow perfectly imperfect humans or our fragile, beloved planet.

Join us for descriptions, suggestions, and encouragement to put your values into action through smaller & quieter acts of resistance that can inspire others to do the same and turn small resistance into mass resistance.
