4. His advice is great, and I posted an excerpt in "Activist Headquarters."

I hadn't thought of calling the Florida Attorney General. I don't expect our spineless MAGA legislators to personally oppose the unconstitutional destruction of our country themselves, but calling and writing can be done sitting down. Also, it's good to get involved with local and state organizations, grassroots groups, allies. FL has 2 Special Elections coming up April 1, and my local Dems will be calling, sending postcards (if we can afford it) to FL 1st and 6th districts, trying to turn the Redneck Riviera a little blue-er.

If you see a rally or protest you had not heard about, ask which group is organizing it. There's some awesome people out there who have been fighting Florida's authoritarian turn under DeSantis for years, but they don't make the news unless MAGA protestors come out to harass us.

If you go outside to a rally or protest, wear a hat. I've seen people faint in January from heat exhaustion here. Drink water.
