Easy Actions to Take
Why: The Global Sumud Flotilla is a historic coalition of over 40 countries to bring an end to the siege on Gaza and deliver vital humanitarian aid. The Israeli government has a history of attacking and harming activists doing this so you can pressure your government to ensure the safe passage of their citizens. Organized by Newscord
Why: Trump has ended a vital environmental rule that protects forests from clearing and is the latest in attacks on the environment by the Trump administration. Leave comment by 9/19/2025! Organized by US Forest Service
Little (Movement) Wins
Why It Matters: Nepalese students and young people across the nation organized to oust their corrupt government. The chaotic weeks have lead to a newfound hope as students were able to vote, elect, and install a Prime Minister on their own (and through Discord too!).
Why It Matters: Pakistan is proving that abundant, renewable, inexpensive solar energy is a great investment — for individuals and communities. Community members are even coming together to pool their resources to install solar panels on buildings like mosques, which struggle to afford rising electricity prices from the country’s grid.
Searching for a way to live that can meet your needs without undermining Earth's life-support systems? Reslience+ is hosting a free webinar, "Bioregioning: How to Thrive Where We Live", to provide you with foundational knowledge for restoring damaged ecosystems, re-envisioning a healthy economy, and getting reconnected to the places we live.
It's a 90-minute discussion exploring:

- The practicalities of living bioregionally, and
- Some key ways to make progress toward a bioregional society and culture that can thrive for ages.
