A list adapted from & inspired by Frontline Medics. Here was their original list of 25 actions. I’ve added a lot of things and edited other things. [Note: I continue to update this document as more ideas are shared with me (most recent update 7/14/25). If there are things you want to add, email niapoetry@gmail.com & I can consider them.]. I have been getting a lot of edit access requests. Everyone is free to make a copy of this doc on your own. I am not giving edit access to the form. Thank you.

Thanks to Nikki here is a REFORMATTED VERSION of this resource. The reformat makes it easier to find information. [this is not regularly updated]

**I created [with input from other organizers] an interactive workbook for new activists who want to create their own organizing plans. You can download it for free here. I hope it helps those who need some guidance to focus on specific things you can do in your communities. — Some Actions That Are Not Protesting or Voting A list adapted from & inspired by Frontline Medics.

2025 in the central Mediterranean
for people on the move.

In 2025 the central Mediterrenean
remained one of the deadliest borders
in the world. In the last 12 months at
least 1,184 people have died or are
missing while attempting to cross the
sea between Libya, Tunisia and Italy.

Libyan actors have increased their
presence not only in front of the
Libyan coast but also in international
waters, and at least 25,286 people
have been violently intercepted and
returned to Libyan detention centers,
where torture, sexual violence and
slavery is still rife.

Even though it can be hard to confirm
numbers it is assumed that thousands
of people are still stuck, sometimes for
years in these horrific camps.

10 years after Italy stopped the last EU
state organised Rescue programme,
the central Mediterranean remains a
deadly symbol of Europe’s cruel and
racist border regime.

However, it also remains a symbol of
resilience and strength for people on
the move, determined to defy Fortress
Europe.

Solidarity and Resistance.

@paultk Agreed on all. Given your last point, strong regulation is increasingly less likely, I also suggest that those of us that can help should be actively doing so.

Start a local/community working group to offer help. We can get together and talk through solutions, help others plan and implement those. We can take direct action via local mutual aid groups of all kinds. Helping folks with data/privacy/computing is one of many. This is something I've been doing via my local library.

@dennyhenke@social.coop replied · last month

@paultk In addition to meeting folks at the local library, offering presentations, etc, I've also set-up a Signal group for those local folks where we can help each other as needed.

I've documented/blogged all the steps along the way, offering tips on steps taken, software used and describing my own process. If you're interested in reading or sharing it's at https://beardystarstuff.net, easy to find there.

Today in Labor History November 28, 1990: Margaret Thatcher resigned in tears after a mass non-payment of her hated poll tax forced her out of office. The tax was a flat tax, hugely unfair, charging all adults, regardless of their wealth or income, the same amount. At the height of the campaign, nearly half of all British adults, 17 million people, had refused to pay the tax. The Labour Party refused to back any protest of the tax. But Anti-Poll Tax Unions formed across the country, and there were thousands of demonstrations, many of which became riots after mounted police charged the protesters. Over 100 were injured and more than 330 were arrested in the protests.

#OtD 23 Nov 1912 anarcho-syndicalist union, Unione Sindacale Italiana, was founded in Modena mainly by radical metal workers, builders, farm workers and miners.

This is an excellent example of direct action video done right: Music matching the pace of the action, lots of focus on the flames of resistance-and NO FACES shown.
