    how are you personally resisting?

    I stole some stuff from the hardware store to help build a bicycle trailer that will reduce my dependence on cars and gasoline.

    Now what are you doing?

      Also based if you stole from a chain but less based if it was a local mom and pop shop. I also haven’t driven my car more than 3 times since March as I’m lucky to live in a bikeable area.

      Well I’m not in the US, so… living my life?

      E: I guess if you want the full list, I did policy research for a local mayoral candidate’s campaign. I lend my ebike to as many friends as possible in hopes they drive less. I put up “end parking mandates” and “excess parking kills cities” stickers around my city hall and on surface parking lots. I buy my beef from a local cattle farmer and vegetables from a CSA where possible. I bought a single American product in the past 6 or so months, only when a domestically produced alternative was not available. I’ve called and emailed my local constituency offices 10+ times over the past 6 months for my representatives for multiple levels of government. I attend and participate in public engagement sessions for public transit and energy infrastructure. I volunteered at a local soup kitchen preparing and packaging hundreds of meals for unhoused people on my city. And I type on a keyboard to spread the message.
