đĽ How You Can Make a Difference
Fascism relies on fear, apathy, and silence. But youâre here, and that means something. Whether you're new to organizing or already in the fight, your voice and your actions matter. The world doesnât change on its own â we change it. This page is your starting point. Dive into each section for specific ways to show up, resist, and build a better future.
đ 1. Educate Yourself and Others
You canât fight what you donât understand. Fascism survives by twisting history and hiding its own roots. So study. Learn where this all started and where it's heading. Talk with friends, host a teach-in, or build a community zine distro. Make antifascism part of the culture around you.
Donât just take in info â share it. Pass books to a neighbor. Start a film series. Make the truth louder than the lies.
â 2. Stand in Solidarity with Marginalized Communities
Fascism targets the most vulnerable â and then expands. Thatâs why solidarity isnât charity, itâs survival. Listen to those on the frontlines. Uplift their voices. Show up when itâs inconvenient. Invest your energy where it matters.
Mutual aid isnât a trend. Itâs what keeps people alive when the system wonât. Find your lane. Then dig in and do the work.
𪧠3. Engage in Direct Action
Direct action interrupts business as usual â and thatâs the point. March, block, organize a strike, shut it down. You donât need permission to resist. You just need a crew, a plan, and courage.
Action looks different for everyone. Find what fits your skills and community. Maybe it's banner drops. Maybe itâs disrupting a city council meeting. Whatever it is, take that first step.
đ 4. Hold Elected Officials Accountable
Politicians wonât save us, but they should fear betraying us. Blow up their inboxes. Flood their phones. Show up at their offices. Demand they fight fascism â or get out of the way.
Accountability doesnât start on Election Day. It starts now, and it doesnât stop until they listen.
đ 5. Fight Disinformation
Fascism spreads through lies. Social media echo chambers. Politicians twisting facts. News thatâs anything but true. You donât need to be a journalist to push back.
Help others fact-check. Share reliable info. Debunk the garbage in your group chats. And support organizations doing this work daily.
đ 6. Stay Connected with Antifascist Movements
Youâre not alone. People all over the world are pushing back, organizing, building alternatives. Find them. Support them. Learn from them.
Online. In your city. On your block. Solidarity isnât just a word â itâs showing up for each other, again and again.
đĄď¸ 7. Resist Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism doesnât always show up in jackboots. Sometimes itâs quiet â voting restrictions, book bans, cops in schools, surveillance everywhere. Spot it. Name it. Fight it.
Donât wait until itâs unbearable. Organize now, while you still can. Build structures that care for people, not power.
âď¸ 8. Demand Accountability
If no oneâs watching, theyâll do whatever they want. Shine a light. File a records request. Support whistleblowers. Get the receipts.
Institutions need to be rebuilt from the ground up. Until then, hold their feet to the fire.
đłď¸ 9. Support Pro Democracy Work
Democracy doesnât defend itself. It needs people showing up. People organizing. People paying attention. These orgs protect the vote and fight for policies that work for the people.
Pitch in. Volunteer. Boost their signal. Democracy isnât just a system â itâs a practice.
đź 10. Take Legal and Community Action
When systems break down, we donât wait â we respond. Whether itâs lawsuits, protest defense, or court support, legal resistance is part of the fight.
Train up. Know your rights. Form teams. Show up for each other when it matters most.
