thisfinecrewIn addition to the master post of ideas and suggestions, on the encouragement of one of our wonderful mods tassosss, I'm offering up a brainstorming post for batting ideas back and forth--- things we've done that seem to be effective, ideas we have, especially for making activism easier in general... and, because of the fannish spirit of this comm, any ideas for activism/tools/etc. that you've gotten from fiction and other media? Or for that matter any stories/art/music/other creations that inspire and support your activism that you want to share?

(I remember in the post about "...aren't Trump supporters and Gamergaters an overlapping population and didn't we beat them last time?", someone made a comment to the effect that, "We didn't win, they just got bored." Possibly that is actually exactly what winning this one will look like: a certain amount of complacency among Trump voters who got their guy, and enough vocally dogged determination on the part of the rest of us that we become the ones whom our elected officials hear, because we're speaking up to them. And, hey, based purely on the popular vote, there are more of us, anyway. *chuckle*)
