It is tempting to look at every single news story and get outraged but keep in mind that this is precisely their point. It is a psychological operation orchestrated by the corporate media giants and the MAGA regime to wear you out and scatter your energies.
Your outrage is not going to change a thing unless you carefully direct it to impactful actions. Most people simply do not have time, resources, money, connection, influence, and/or energy to do this work alone.
Concrete, impactful actions, that are not always visible, are superior to mere performative protests and street theaters that may earn 15 minutes of fame but would quickly be forgotten.
Many organizations have been prepared for this day, and are far better funded, equipped, trained, resourced, and connected to do the work. It is more productive to support their efforts by donating to them and/or being part of their actions. To successfully fight off the MAGA once and for all, unity and coordinated actions are a must.
Here are some of the organizations you may want to support:
- Democracy Forward
- Faithful America
- American Civil Liberties Union (national and state)
- Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
- National Women's Law Center
- Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE)
- Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
- United We Dream
- National Immigration Law Center
- National Immigration Forum
- Indivisible (national and local)
- Institute for Justice
- The Rutherford Institute
- Working Families Party
Oregon specific organizations
- Western States Center (regional)
- Basic Rights Oregon (regional)
- Unite Oregon (regional)
- Rural Organizing Project (regional with local affiliates)
- PCUN (regional)
