This episode, let's talk about going to protests alone, and creating a personal activism plan!Protests and Safety When Going Solo Here are ideas for staying safe:  - Try to connect with someone attending in advance.  - Park a few blocks away for an easy exit if needed.  - Observe who else is heading toward the protest.  - Take note of counterprotesters—how many, how organized?  - Pay attention to law enforcement’s presence and interactions.  - If anything feels off, trust your instincts and leave.  And remember: Not knowing the organizers of a protest doesn’t make it less valid. Supporting grassroots efforts expands community — so if you can go, go.Building a Personal Activism PlanAsk yourself: How effective has my activism been? If it’s not yielding results, shift your focus.  Challenge yourself:  - If you always work solo, try organizing within a group.  - If you avoid political conversations with loved ones, start learning new approaches.  - If you can’t imagine a full boycott, start cutting back—there’s still time to go zero in 2025.- Diversify your activism: work alone, with friends, with groups, and in mass actions.  Action Item: Create Your Personal Activism Plan  - Evaluate what you’ve been doing.  - Do more or do something different.- Diversify your engagement. Call Us!What’s working in your activism?
