For everyone who is out here saying “I don’t know what to do,” let me break it down here like I did this morning in my newsletter because it really is this simple:

Screengrab: If you have not yet gotten offline and into the world to take action against the regime, here's my best advice: 1. Pick one or two issues that call to you the most. 2. Find out what organizations are doing work on those issues where you live. 3. Go to a meeting or an event, locate the organizer, and ask how you can help their efforts, and then do that. And keep doing that. It's that simple. And if you need to find events near you, check out mobilize.us.
