Walking Options: (Basic (1), with add-ons (2-5)
1) Just walk with a homemade visible identifier that says Walking for Democracy.
This is the simplest thing to do. Make your own design on a stick-on name tag or T-shirt. Use it when you are out taking a walk or going about your business. It's a quiet way to let people know you are concerned about threats to our democracy and willing to show that concern visibly. This is not meant to replace other actions you may already be taking. Walk alone, or with friends, or with a group you are part of.
2) While walking, or before, or after, post about your walk on one or more social media platforms. Use #WalkingforDemocracy. Include the link to this website.
This is a way to expand your visibility and encourage others to consider this way of showing their concern.
3) While walking, talk with people you run into about why you are walking.
Personal testimony is powerful. For those who share your views, it is reinforcing. For others, it is information otherwise not available to them that may help them understand a different view.
4) Make copies of one or more of the message sheets below, or make your own message sheets for distribution as you walk, or for posting on social media.
This is a more direct way to get potentially alternative information to people.
5) Ring doorbells to talk with people about why you are walking, and to ask about the effects of recent governmental actions on them and people they know.
