Become an Activist in 4 Simple Steps

Yes, we’re living under a fascist regime so what can we do about it? Here are 4 simple steps to start your journey into activism and guess, what? It can be fun. 🙂

“The Trumpian lie is different. It is the power lie or the bully lie. It is the lie of the bigger kid who took your hat and is wearing it while denying that he took it. There is no defense against this lie because the point of the lie is to assert power, to show I can say what I want, when I want to.

The power lie conjures a different reality that demands that you choose between your experience and the bully’s demands. Are you going to insist that you’re wet from the rain or give in and say that the sun is shining?”

“The United States of America is currently experiencing what a lot of other countries have experienced over the last few decades. A lot of really wealthy individuals and corporations are co-opting our government through the usage of puppet politicians and political parties in order to line their pockets and expand their power. Using strategies that have worked in those other countries, often with the help of American institutions like the CIA and the military, they are more or less merging with the government so that it can be turned into a weapon to carry out
their agendas…”

“That is actually what sways public opinion. What sways public opinion is what we call social proof. People do the things they think people like them do. And so it’s this chicken-and-egg
problem where you’re walking around New York… and you don’t see anyone else freaking out. You don’t see anyone else angry… And so you’re like, I guess really nothing’s happening…

A lot of what has happened in our politics is that we actually stopped organizing. And a lot of the heroic, extraordinary, wonderful organizations that I admire and respect and like count as colleagues, we all became so fixated on channeling ourselves through the electoral process.”

As a pro-democracy group, Indivisible UP WA is focused on being decentralized while effective. Through small accountability groups of 3 to 5 people (aka Home Pods), we can keep each other motivated and engaged in local action.

We know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed or disconnected. Having a few trusted homies to check in with, share resources, and offer support can keep everyone in the know and stay accountable.

And yes, Home Pods are flexible. Feel free to move in and out of different Home Pods to meet new people and learn new things. Just remember to be good to your homies. 🙂

Let’s keep activism effective, meaningful, safe and fun. Read more about our purpose and beliefs in our Working Agreements.
