Hopefully, everyone has seen the movie "Don't Look Up." The scary thing is that it is happening right besides us. Throw in the movie "Idiocracy" and it pretty much nails where we are right now.

Why don't we see lots of bumper stickers that say "Don't Look Up"

Organizing Tools Spreading info and motivating for protests

18 Upvotes

I'm working on designing some method of spreading information around my town, as well as encouraging people to protest, about issues such as the Epstein Files, ICE, Flock cameras, the hangings in Mississippi, ect. The problem is I can't decide if a flyer/poster or a sort of card would be better to make? The posters/flyers would be larger, and I could put them up around town so more people could see them. But with the card (maybe like a sort of double sided one page zine?), I could make a lot and leave them in public places (parks, libraries, ect) so people could take one or more) and spread them around. Or maybe both?

The ACLU trying to get as many signatures from Americans on this petition as possible, because they’ll be using it to lobby members of congress to vote against the SAVE Act, showing them that most Americans don’t want it.

If you haven’t already, now’s a good time to send a message to Google that collaborating with this authoritarian regime is not something that consumers will overlook.

If you use chrome, switch up to Firefox or something
If you use Google Maps, switch to Apple Maps
If you use Google search, use Bing
Etc

Google is such a massive company idk if it’ll make them change their behavior but if nothing else it will make other companies think twice

No business should be done with corporate collaborators
