The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.

37. Vote. Protest. Worried about women's health choices? Volunteer to get around punitive measures

by state and federal. Donate money to pay for care, volunteer to be a host or driver to make sure women get to where they need going. All the while fighting to keep abortion legal and safe. I do.

Defy any authority that seeks to oppress through onerous and punitive laws. And I mean defy. Take the battle to the courts and fight it out there. Even a lopsided court can be influenced by public outcry. Push the issue and then push it some more.

Fight. Refuse their narrative. Speak truth until you're dead. Never settle. Compromise can be a dirty word. Not always, but sometimes. Demand more.

Run for local school boards. Fight at the grassroots by attending town halls, run for local offices, and never let them forget you exist.

Not everyone can do everything but we can all do what we can.

Yeah, it's scary. Yeah, it means time, effort, and money.

But we can push back. We need to push back and push hard.
