We understand that you are a busy person, and not everyone who wants to help save democracy can take to the streets more than a few times per year, for No Kings Day. But there are a lot of other things you can do from the comfort of your own home, either to make changes or to prepare for the moment when history calls upon you to act.
Even if you can only carve out a few minutes here and there, your actions can make a big difference in the quality of life of those you know and love.
Take a look at this list and see where you can fit in, or use it as a starting point to come up with your own ideas for taking action.
Participate in Trainings to help keep yourself, IWCCC members, and our at-risk communities safer. For example, we encourage you to sign up for Indivisible’s Solidarity in Action Speaker Series and watch the recordings of the ones you’ve missed in 2025 and 2026.
Eyes on ICE: Learn how to document and record law enforcement encounters by watching this recording. And check out California’s online portal for reporting misconduct by ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents, which district attorneys can use to conduct independent investigations.
Sign up for Multicultural Institute online trainings to assist with its “Adopt a Corner” rapid response and community watch efforts. Email the new immigration coordinator, Alondra Gonzalez, for details. IWCCC members are currently ICE-patrolling around Home Depot in El Cerrito through this group.
Sign up for Bay Resistance trainings and alerts to prepare to be an ally to protect our neighbors from ICE and the National Guard operations. More info here.
Be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. For example, check out this list of trans advocate resources and this guide to being an ally. Just one affirming adult can change the course of a young LGBTQ+ person’s life — be that person.
Consider linking with the Braver Angels, an organization that facilitates Democrats and MAGA individuals to talk with each other, helping to bridge the partisan divide and reduce toxic politics.
Reach out to MAGA: Do you have friends or family members who identify as MAGA? Check out Leaving MAGA, an organization that empowers people to leave MAGA and reconcile with friends and family.
Volunteer with VoteRiders, the country’s leading nonpartisan organization with the mission to eliminate ID barriers so every eligible voter can cast a ballot through voter education on required IDs, direct assistance to get IDs, and advocacy to eliminate ID laws that suppress votes.
