The Survival Guide 📄

For Authoritarianism and the Stupid Tech Broligarchy

Welpppp…unfortunately we find ourselves back here again despite our best efforts.

If you’re feeling disheartened, overwhelmed, and scared right now, you are in good company and your feelings are valid. The onslaught of rapid-fire actions by the new administration is by design — meant to leave us disoriented and unable to resist (more about that, below!).

But there is a lot to be inspired by — and many generations have stood where we stand right now.

They’ve left behind the knowledge, tools, methods, and strategies that we need in this moment. And if we take their advice, we can do things even better this time around to ensure that even more of us arrive on the other side.

This guide is my attempt to organize all the best information and resources I know of in one place for you. I’ve attempted to do this many times and often end up feeling overwhelmed by all I want to share or anxious that I’m leaving out something/someone important. But, I know it’s important to just get this out into the world so I’ve included a curated, digestible collection of resources in this guide and will build upon it when there’s a worthwhile addition.

I hope it helps you clear your head, get focused, and get involved.
