Today’s To-Do List: Smash Fascism Like a Boss
Alright, warriors of democracy, here’s your checklist for making fascists cry into their sad little tiki torches. No excuses. No “but I’m just one person.” Just action. Because freedom isn’t free, and neither is your morning latte.
☕ 1. Flood the Phones
Politicians hate when their phones ring non-stop with people demanding democracy. Call your reps and say:
“Hi, I’d like to request you stop being a spineless enabler of fascism. Pass [insert important bill here], protect voting rights, and maybe—just maybe—grow a backbone. Thanks!”
(Extra points if you call both your state and federal reps.)

📢 2. Weaponize Your Social Media
Post. Share. Agitate. Educate. Make fascists feel unwelcome on the internet they ruin for the rest of us. Share resistance resources, fact-check their nonsense, and if you’re feeling extra spicy, drop some receipts about their corruption. Bonus: Follow and amplify actual grassroots movements instead of just doomscrolling.
🔗 Follow & amplify:
- Indivisible (for local resistance groups)
- Color of Change (racial justice + political pressure)
- ACLU (civil liberties, legal fights against fascism)
📬 3. Write a Damn Letter
Yeah, email works, but an actual physical letter is harder to ignore. Keep it short, snarky, and savage. Something like:
“Dear [Politician], I’d love to live in a country where my rights aren’t up for debate. Since you technically work for me, maybe do your job and protect democracy? Sincerely, A Very Annoyed Voter Who Will Remember This In November.”

💰 4. Fund the Resistance
Skip one overpriced oat milk latte and donate to bail funds, abortion access groups, or grassroots orgs that are actually doing the work. Even $5 helps. (And let’s be honest, fascists are way more afraid of well-funded activism than your caffeine withdrawal.)
💵 Donate to:
- ActBlue (support progressive candidates + causes)
- National Bail Fund Network (helps people arrested at protests)
- Abortion Access Funds (because fascists love controlling bodies)
🗳️ 5. Register Someone to Vote
No, seriously. Find an unregistered friend, coworker, or random person at the grocery store, and help them register. Voter suppression is their game, so make it yours to ruin their plans. We must preserve our institutions even if we think they are being tampered with.

🎤 6. Be Loud in Real Life
Talk to your friends, your neighbors, and that one awkward cousin who “doesn’t like politics.” Make sure they understand that silence = complicity. Bonus points if you casually drop, “Wow, fascism is getting pretty bad—what are you doing about it?” at family dinner.
👀 Join local organizing efforts:
- Democratic Socialists of America (leftist organizing)
- Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) (white allies fighting white supremacy)
- MoveOn (grassroots activism & rapid response campaigns)
🚀 7. Plan a Direct Action
Join or organize a protest, mutual aid event, or community defense meeting. Sitting on the couch tweeting “ugh, this sucks” won’t save democracy. Your body in the streets might.
📍 Find or plan an action:
- Mutual Aid Hub (find local mutual aid groups)
- Five Calls (daily call-to-action scripts)
- Fridays for Future (climate strikes—because fascists hate the planet too)
Final Thought:
Today is just another opportunity to make fascists deeply uncomfortable. So get out there and do something—because sitting this one out isn’t an option.
✊ Stay loud. Stay angry. Stay fighting.
