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:
-
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.
-
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 be included quickly, ensuring that the toolkit is effective and impactful.
