When we identify with a fictional character, and have a strong sense of the sorts of actions the person would take, we can ask ourselves what would the character do in these circumstances? We may then use that understanding to do brave things.
We are living in a time when we need to step forward as part of a community of courage. We need inspiration to take those steps. The stories you write could be pivotal in making this happen!
Join this Indivisible event and learn how to make empathetic and inspiring characters to help people to imagine a better and more democratic future.

Storytelling--characters who model kindness, community, and democracy...and inspire action.
Taking action can be scary. We may feel unprepared to make critical decisions. Experiencing stories through books, films, plays, graphic novels, computer games, etc, can help people to feel prepared.Mobilize

Ten of the Most Exciting Ways to Commemorate America’s 250th This Year
This article is from Smithsonian Magazine. Actually some of the suggestions for celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence could also make great protest events.

A comic from 2022. I want to make a distinction between the Democrats who are speaking out forcefully against authoritarianism and those whose overcautious approach enabled the extremist takeover of our institutions. This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.
DOGE spent $40 million to save a few billion in salaries, but that move backfired by causing $21.7 billion in repair costs and losing over $500 billion in uncollected tax revenue from the wealthy - they don't want the government to work …They’re on a mission to make sure it doesn’t.

"The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone.

This week's comic: The things Mike Johnson has said are so over the top that I thought I might place him in the role of my flaming conservative character (hence the flames, in case anyone was wondering about that). It’s almost impossible to exaggerate this man’s theocratic worldview, so I tried to use actual quotes where I could.
