I know a lot of you are committed activists. I also know a lot of you aren't. This list is for the second group. These are things you can do to passively or easily to make the world a little less shitty without trying very hard. These are not a replacement for organizing, these are little things you can do to make the world a tiny bit less miserable.

-join a buy nothing group

These are just groups of people who agree to treat things as though they aren't commodities. They're also a good way to get rid of stuff and get sweet new stuff free.

-move your money to a credit union.

They're like banks but members own a share of it, so they tend to be better to people.

-eat vegetarian one day a week.

This lowers your carbon footprint by quit a bit. Yes, the onus is on corporations, but that doesn't mean you're totally off the hook.

-go to Anarchist Black Cross's website and write a political prisoner. They're not all anarchists.

It takes as much time as posting and makes someone a little less lonely and a little safer

-put a sharps container in front of your home and maintain it.

This is convenient for drug users and lowers the property value.

-set up a recurring donation to a local org or tribe.
