Do More Than Vote

Text-Only Version



Do More Than Vote

Organize your neighbors • Write a protest song •

Know where your money goes • Confront racist jokes •

Study economics • Demand ramps everywhere •

Teach kids to think critically • Distribute flyers •

Show up at your congressperson's office at least once a month •

Memorize the Bill of Rights • Give gifts of radical poetry •

Work with poor people; let them teach you •

March for a just cause • Write letters to the editor •

Question candidates • Come out •

Refuse to pay war taxes • Circulate a petition •

Protest peacefully • Fight your own privilege •

Learn history • Register five other people to vote •

Deconstruct a popular movie • Wear a button (and mean it) •

Quote Helen Keller, Frederick Douglass, and bell hooks

Be a proud voice of dissent • Hang in there •

Live what you believe every day •

Think • Speak • Act • Rebel •

Do More Than Vote
