Practice social solidarity

Get involved with mutual aid networks

Protect immigrant rights

Don’t forget about people who are incarcerated

Donate to local food banks

Support small and local businesses

Find remote volunteer opportunities

Combat misinformation

Fight xenophobia

Fill out the census
