But, what can an individual do? I write, call, demonstrate, and talk to my neighbors. I'm in North Carolina with three fascist federal representatives. Our nation is being ravaged by Republican malfeasance and revenge politics. What's the next step?
* Use your wallet to support small businesses and try to avoid big businesses. It takes time to adjust. I have started using cash for small purchases. You can move your accounts away from big banks to smaller banks or credit unions. Avoid national chains for fast food, groceries, household products. Use a personal driver instead of Uber/Lyft (many drivers work independent of ride sharing).
