Last Updated 2/20/2025 at 1:17PM EDT
Every action ripples. Every effort matters. From wearing red lipstick in protest to supporting local libraries, from economic pressure to organized resistance - we all have the power to create change. There is #NoSmallAct!
Support With Your Wallet
Economic action is a powerful tool for social change. Where we spend our money reflects our values and can influence corporate behavior. Supporting companies that align with progressive values while avoiding those that don't sends a clear message that can drive institutional change.

Support Companies Standing Firm on DEI
Strategic boycotts are a proven tool for social change - it's not 'cancel culture,' it's concentrated economic pressure. Stay informed about which companies maintain or abandon their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Support those standing firm and withhold your dollars from those rolling back progress. While the landscape changes frequently, collective economic action sends a powerful message that values matter more than empty corporate statements. A quick Google Search will produce results like this Axios Article (example purposes only).

Symbols of Resistance
Throughout history, seemingly simple choices in appearance and style have served as powerful symbols of resistance and solidarity. These visual statements help create visibility and unity in movements for change.
Red Lipstick
A powerful symbol of resistance dating back to the suffragettes and WWII, where red lipstick represented defiance against fascism. Hitler famously hated red lipstick, making it a symbol of resistance for women in occupied countries. Today, this symbol of defiance and strength has been reclaimed as part of a new wave of resistance.
Wear more COLOR
In a world that often pressures women to be subtle and blend in, wearing vibrant colors becomes an act of defiance. It challenges the expectation to appear muted and unremarkable, asserting the right to be visible and take up space unapologetically.
