What is the Resistance Toolkit?

Are you feeling as overwhelmed and ready to shut down as I am in the wake of all of the hatred being unleashed by politicians?

Feeling hopeless, I realized I needed a way to channel my frustration into meaningful action. So I am developing the Resistance Toolkit in an attempt to turn outrage into progress. The mission is to create a process: pick a cause, take an action, recover, and repeat. This seemed more achievable to me then attempting to somehow tackle all of the issues at once.

I know that together, we can transform feelings of hopelessness into a movement for change. Let's build something that fights hate, one action at a time.

Note: This implementation is primarily focused on U.S. politics and issues, but after some feedback I am working on an international version of this toolkit, because hate is obviously a global issue.

Why Make This Project Open Source?

I chose to make this MVP (minimal viable product) version of The Resistance Toolkit Open Source for a couple of reasons:

  1. Community: It's important to me that this project is open sourced. The goal is to foster a community of passionate and active people to help develop and maintain this project.

  2. Rapid Development: Things are changing at an incredible pace. It seems like everyday there is a new executive order and a new cause under threat.

    I want to be able to be nimble and test out new strategies. Being open sourced allows for a diversity of viewpoints and expert opinions to brought to this project in near real time.
