Welcome to Dispatch #37! This is our first “Action & Resources” Dispatch as part of our new alternating format, meant to be a more focused curation of calls-to-action, resources, and content we think you’ll find valuable. This week we’ve got easy actions to resist media monopolies, Palestine erasure, and AI surveillance, some great resources to help you reduce your dependence on billionaires and US tech giants, and 5 recommendations for things to watch/read/listen to that we think you’ll love!
This new format is a work-in-progress - please let us know any feedback you might have!

Easy Actions to Take
⏱~3min | (Worldwide) Urge Attorneys General to Stop Paramount's Mega-Media Monopoly
Why: Paramount is on the verge of becoming the largest pro-Trump media monopoly in America. Because these are international media companies, the effects on the entertainment that is consumed will be felt globally. Organized by Inequality Media Civic Action
⏱~3min | (Worldwide) Demand that the British Museum reinstate the word “Palestine” in their exhibits
Why: In February 2026, it emerged that the British Museum had removed the word 'Palestine' from labels across its ancient Middle East displays. These changes followed a letter from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) to Museum Director Nicholas Cullinan. UKLFI has a documented pattern of pressuring public institutions — the European Legal Support Centre has identified UKLFI as a direct or enabling actor in 128 of 900 documented anti-Palestinian repression incidents in the UK. A museum that claims to preserve world heritage cannot simultaneously collaborate in erasing it. Organized by Newscord
⏱~3min | (US only) Tell Congress to Stop AI-Powered Mass Surveillance
Why: Call with this link. Congress is about to vote on whether to renew one of the federal government's most controversial surveillance powers —Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). This dangerous bill has given the FBI and other agencies a backdoor to spy on Americans — without a warrant, without oversight, and without limits. And now, with AI advancing rapidly, the dangers are about to explode. Organized by: Color of Change & 5Calls
