Curiously I’m having to deal with this very conflict. I want to join the resistance, but I’m (literally) allergic to sunlight (which precludes street demonstrations) and I’m a goblin when it comes to in-person social development, such as organizing.
The mutual aid groups in Sacramento are scarce, so it’s difficult to ask them.
Do I make useful memes and infographics? Not sure.
Curiously, the nearest ICE hq is in San Francisco, and there are resistence movements there interfering with ICE action.
Dude, get yourself connected with your local resistance organizations anyway! There are so many ways to contribute that aren’t waving cardboard signs in the sunlight—research, making maps, updating websites, emailing politicians, running social media outreach, designing signs for printing, surveillance, reporting, and yes, making infographics. There are even organizations that conduct themselves almost entirely online.
In the 30’s and 40’s resistances were everywhere and weren’t always visible. Spreading the news or setting up infrastructure for resistance movements were just as viable as boots on the ground and protests.
If the country goes whaere it looks like it is going
Eventually we each are going to have to decide
When a resistance group is formed …
Will you join?
And what are you willing to do?

Probably cook.
Travel along with the resistance, tending to troops, fixing meals, fetching ammo, just a worker bee in the military machine.
