Resisting Trump and His Regime

If you oppose Donald Trump and his collaborators, here is a list of legal, nonviolent actions that individuals can take to slow Donald Trump’s “progress”. These are cumulative actions: the more people take them, the more effect they will have. Note that some these steps could involve cost or risk, while others might actually reduce risk, depending on circumstances. Use your own judgement. This list is not an endorsement of any action or group. A one-page, printable pdf file is available here.
