No Act Too Small is more than a flyer gallery—it’s a full platform designed to support sustained, strategic activism. At the core of the site are four distinct  hubs , each built to serve a specific need within the movement. Whether you’re organizing, learning, recovering, or showing up for the first time, there’s a space for you here. 🔹 Action Hub The heartbeat of NATS. The Action Hub features a constantly updating collection of  flyers from across the country —protests, teach-ins, mutual aid drives, vigils, and more. You can  filter by date, city, or type of action , making it easy to find what’s happening near you or amplify what matters most. This is where movement energy takes visual form. 🔹 Resource Hub Practical and always growing, the Resource Hub is your go-to for  legal guides, organizing tools, tactical playbooks , and strategic insights. Whether you're running your first meeting or planning a direct action, this hub helps you get smarter, safer, and more effective. 🔹 Safety Hub We take safety seriously—on the street, online, and everywhere in between. The Safety Hub includes guides for  digital security, protest readiness, legal rights , and how to keep your community protected while staying engaged. Stay prepared and know your rights. 🔹 Self-Care Hub Movements can’t last without care. The Self-Care Hub centers  mental health, recovery, and resilience , offering resources for rest, reflection, and community support. From burnout prevention to trauma-informed tips, it’s here to help sustain the people who sustain the work. Each hub is updated regularly, designed with usability in mind, and part of our broader mission: to make grassroots action more accessible, durable, and connected. Explore the hubs. Share them widely. And stay in the fight—on your terms, with the support you need.

No Act Too Small is growing—and not just in numbers, but in depth, functionality, and reach. This past month, we’ve welcomed a wave of new members, each bringing new energy and perspective to the movement. Whether you’re organizing on the ground or following from afar, we’re glad you’re here. We’ve also launched a new Resource Hub —a curated space filled with tools, guides, and reference materials to help you take action, stay informed, and build stronger communities. It’s just the beginning of what we hope will become a deep well of knowledge for organizers of all experience levels. On the tech side, we’ve made important improvements to our flyer sorting and filtering features. Finding events that matter to you—by location, date, or type—is now smoother and more intuitive. And yes, the site itself just feels better: we’ve refreshed the visual design to make everything more clear, more vibrant, and more accessible. Behind the scenes, our automated data flows are working 24/7—adding new protest flyers to the Action Hub every day. This means the map of movement activity you see is always in motion, always growing, and always ready for you to explore. Thanks for staying connected. Every click, every share, every conversation helps us grow this thing into something even stronger. Stay tuned—the Digital Flyer Maker is tantalizingly close.

This will be paywalled for some - apologies in advance - but I have to share it. Stanley's views are starling and impossible to discount. His views that we are pretty far along into authoritarianism and accelerating track with what I am seeing inside the government. What do you think? https://apple.news/AC56awzqlS-K6L5mHlAMnUA

Now is the time to prepare—not with panic, but with purpose. Begin building networks rooted in trust, resilience, and mutual respect. Form cohorts not based on ideological purity, but on shared commitments to core principles: the dignity of people, the rule of law, constitutional norms, and the defense of democracy itself. These are values broad enough to unite across differences, yet strong enough to resist authoritarian drift. Develop alternative channels of communication—spaces where truth can circulate freely, immune to distortion or suppression. Organize with intention: anticipate repression and prepare responses that are grounded, strategic, and nonviolent. If force is used, meet it not with chaos but with coordinated defiance. Create a constant, diverse current of disruption—not for spectacle, but to preserve space for justice, decency, and democratic life to survive and grow. This is not about being all-in on any one political project—it’s about being all-in on freedom, truth, and the future. And always remember, joy is an act of resistance. #Organize #Resist

[If you have a history of trauma or abuse you may find the following material distressing.] Is anyone else feeling that sinking sensation in the pit of their stomach today? I am. An unhinged ideologue is running the economy. Laura Loomer is shaping national security strategy. Musk! If you’re not  feeling anxious, are you even paying attention? But the feeling I’m talking about goes deeper than anxiety. It’s not just fear of bad policy or the next chaotic headline. What I’m feeling—what I think many of us are feeling—is something else entirely. It’s what it feels like to be abused . To know something dangerous is coming, and to be powerless to stop it. I want to share a story. Maybe it will help make sense of this heaviness. I was in third or fourth grade, deep in a Michigan winter. The cold was brutal, the kind that turns your skin raw. I stepped off the school bus and saw my father’s truck pulling into the drive. That was a bad sign. He was a construction worker. If he hadn’t been drinking, he’d have been home earlier. If he had  gone to the bar, he wouldn’t be home for hours. But if he’d been at the union hall doing shots all morning? This is when he’d show up. And that meant danger. My mother—my buffer—wouldn’t be home until later. So I did what I had learned to do. I went behind the garage. I sat in the snow. And I waited. As daylight faded, the cold crept in. My hands hurt. My feet ached. The only thing keeping me company was that old, gnawing sense of dread. I had known, even as a kid, that my family wasn’t okay. Some children grow up surrounded by abuse, addiction, or mental illness and never recognize it for what it is. I did . I saw  it. But seeing it wasn’t a gift. It was a sentence. Time is different when you’re a kid. Everything feels like forever. You don’t think, “I’m eight, only ten years to go.” Ten years is a life sentence  when every day carries the threat of harm. And with that sentence comes the same weight I feel today: the heavy, sickening sense that something terrible is on its way. That it’s already begun. It was well after dark when I heard my mom’s car in the drive. She scolded me, told me I didn’t have the sense to come in from the cold. But I had denied my abuser his moment. That was a victory. It was worth it. That’s what it feels like living under Trump. It’s not politics—it’s abuse. I’ve survived worse. I’ve spent the last 40 years consciously confronting that wreckage. Processing it. Healing. Learning to live anyway. I hate  what is happening. I hate how it makes me feel. But I will live—and I will live well , as I always have. If you have a similar history, and you’re struggling today, I want you to know: You’re not alone. You’ve survived worse. Be gentle with yourself. And come in from the cold. “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Good morning, shipmates. Rough seas ahead. What do we do? We don’t wish the storm away. We don’t wait for calmer waters. We get our bearings. We check the lines, tend to each other, and face the wind. The sea does not care how tired we are. It will do what it does. Our job is to stay steady. In a world like this—where propaganda is sold as truth, where obedience is rewarded more than thoughtfulness—being fully awake is a kind of rebellion. The pressure to conform, to go quiet, to keep your head down—it’s constant. But staying human means saying no to that. It means thinking for yourself, holding fast to your values, and speaking plainly when silence would be easier. They’ll tell you to stay comfortable. To go along. That rocking the boat helps no one. But you weren’t made for still waters. You were made to feel the pull of the current and still steer by your own compass. To be fully alive in times like these is not to be fearless. It is to be alert, grounded, and unwilling to be swept along by the tide. You don’t need to shout. You don’t need to rage. But you do need to hold your course. Storms pass. But who we are in the storm—that’s what matters. So tighten what needs tightening. Say what needs saying. And keep watch. We ride it out, together. #ThoughtForTheDay

The links between flyer thumbnails in the gallery and the event detail are fixed. Social media sharing links are to be added to the event detail tab later today. The built in site search is half functional, which is to say, broken. Once Wix, the hosting platform, indexes a broken link it’s a challenge to eradicate the broken links. Fixing those issues is akin to a cat chasing a laser pointer, lots of focus and intensity spent chasing a quarry that refuses to be captured. The site search feature may have to go away if the issue isn’t resolved today. Next feature in the queue is the Digital Form Maker, a tool for making and syndicating your own flyers. The vision behind #NATS is to act as a hub of information that connects people to protests, events, actions, people, and communities. The flyers (courtesy of the blop.org ) are only the first steps. Other information sources are in the works along with providing users the means to register an event, be it a protest of thousands, or a book club for ten. When it comes to resisting authoritarnism and building inclusive democratic communities, there is litterally no act too small.

Some changes that went into place over the past few days have resulted in broken links. The issue is being worked. Thanks for your patience.

We’ve (I’ve) been busy behind the scenes—and the results are starting to shine. 🎉 Users can now browse a live, filterable gallery of events, complete with striking flyers and real-time updates. Whether you’re searching by city, sorting by date, or just soaking in the artwork, the experience is smooth, responsive, and getting better by the day. Most of the work this past week has been behind the scenes. Trying to build-in resilience, security, privacy, and availability. Part of the NATS vision is to be a reliable hub for situational awareness. We strive to be a reliable spoke in a decentralized wheel of information. We are building for the long run. But there’s more than function—there’s the forms. With cosmetic improvements rolling out and many more on the way, we’re making the platform as inspiring as the people who use it. Next up in the dev queue? A flyer maker to empower organizers directly. Interned in a tool where you can make flyers and submit them for syndication? Stay tuned—big things are coming. 🚀

Every now and then, things click into place. That’s how it’s felt this past week at No Act Too Small (NATS)—where the pieces of our digital platform are starting to hum in sync, making it easier for people to find each other, show up, and get involved. Behind the Scenes: Tech Wins That Matter We’ve been heads down building a more reliable backend integration with Google Workspace and Google Sheets—and it’s paying off. This integration is the backbone of how we organize event data, power our data engine, and ensure the content you see is accurate, timely, and ready for action. Fewer bugs, more automation, and smoother workflows mean more time focusing on what matters: community building and the movement. Poster Gallery Incoming! We’re especially excited to share that our online gallery of thousands of protest posters and flyers will be live this week. Sourced from partners like TheBLOP.org and curated for clarity and relevance, this gallery is searchable, scrollable, and meant to inspire. Whether you’re looking to show up or spread the word, you’ll have a visual toolkit at your fingertips. Early Adopters Are In! Another good sign? People are already subscribing to our newsletter—even before we’ve started promoting it. These early adopters are a testament to the hunger out there for trusted, actionable information. We’re building this together, and it’s thrilling to see folks jumping on board early. What’s Next? More filtering power, better cross-platform integration, and the upcoming launch of our Patron system—designed to help support contributors across tech, design, and content. We’re also tightening our security posture and continuing to partner closely with TheBLOP.org to ensure that what we share is reliable, relevant, and resistant to noise. So if you’ve been thinking, “Something’s happening, and I want to be part of it,”—you’re right. It is happening. And there’s more to come. Stay connected. Subscribe. Reach out. Join us. No act is too small.

There comes a point in every struggle where exhaustion sets in. The early fire, the sense of purpose, the certainty that you are on the right path—it all collides with the reality that change is slow, resistance is strong, and progress is never guaranteed. This is when perseverance matters most. Perseverance is not about feeling motivated every day. It is about showing up even when you don’t want to, even when you doubt yourself, even when the goal feels distant. It is the willingness to keep going, not because it is easy, but because stopping is not an option. Commitment is what turns perseverance into action. It is the choice to stand by what you believe in, not just when it is convenient, but when it is hard. It means staying the course, even when distractions, setbacks, and fatigue threaten to pull you away. Commitment is the difference between a passing intention and a life built around purpose. Obligation often carries a weight to it, something that feels imposed from the outside. But obligation can also be an anchor—a reminder that what we do matters beyond ourselves. We have obligations to our principles, to our communities, to the people who came before us and those who will come after. In a world that too often rewards convenience and apathy, perseverance, commitment, and obligation are radical acts. They demand that we keep going, that we stay engaged, that we refuse to turn away just because something is difficult. The road is long. There will be days when you want to quit. But the people who change the world, who shift history, who leave a mark—they are the ones who keep moving forward, step by step, long after the initial fire has faded.

At No Act Too Small (NATS), technology is a tool for action. We’ve been making major strides in refining our digital infrastructure, making NATS more effective, accessible, and resilient. Here’s a look at what’s happening and what’s ahead. Making Moves: Recent Progress NATS Homepage Upgrades -Our **Wix homepage** now streamlines action and information with a single-window layout featuring: - Event Flyers (sourced from TheBLOP.org ) - NATS Blog (you're looking at it!) - Mixcloud (for movement-building discussions) - This clean structure keeps everything accessible without clutter. BLOP Integration: A Game Changer - Our **deep integration with TheBLOP.org** now pulls in nearly 500 national events, updated daily. - Activists can scroll and filter through real-time event data , making it easier than ever to connect with meaningful actions. A Stronger Partnership with TheBLOP.org - TheBLOP.org’s expertise in decentralized event aggregation is helping us refine how we display and verify data. - Together, we ensure activists get accurate, timely event listings without duplication or misinformation. What’s Next: The Road Ahead Smarter Automation & Event Processing - We’re working to automate event intake and validation, reducing manual curation so we can focus on strategy and mobilization. - Smarter filtering will prioritize high-impact actions, ensuring the most urgent events get visibility. Buy us a Coffee: Supporting Contributors - We’re developing a **Patron system** to provide sustainable support for those driving NATS forward—tech, content, and organizing contributors. - The goal? Ensure the work that sustains NATS is itself sustainable. Security & Resilience Across Platforms -We’re strengthening our digital security toolkit to protect against misinformation, data scraping, and infiltration attempts. That starts with infrastructure and correctly setting up DNS -Our aim is to expand our expertise in security and open-source intelligence, to build a more resilient system for organizers. Final Thoughts: Mobilizing to save Democracy is an act of joy. NATS is evolving, and with every improvement, our ability to organize grows stronger. This isn’t about flash and monetization—it’s about building the infrastructure for sustainable, decentralized activism .
