If you’re trying to shop more intentionally this year, save this post — and share it with a friend who’s doing the same. Small, mindful choices add up. 💙

#ethicalshopping #shoplocal #communityovercorporations

From state park passes to Costco favorites, local treats, and simple gift bags from neighborhood grocers, there are so many thoughtful, affordable ideas that don’t rely on Amazon or other companies with harmful political or labor practices.

And you don’t need to be perfect. If every registered Democrat took $100 they were going to spend at Amazon to an anti-Trump company, we would be taking 4.41 BILLION dollars from them. And it's easy with our anti-Trump gift guide...

This is #activism for busy people- the kind that fits into your life, not the other way around.

Small shifts add up. 💙

Shop directly from brands. Visit local bookstores, craft fairs, and boutiques. Check Costco, independent retailers, and secondhand shops before defaulting to Amazon. Support makers on Etsy or small online storefronts.
Even swapping one or two gifts this season makes a difference.

Amazon’s size and business practices impact workers, small businesses, local economies, and the environment. Redirecting even some of your holiday shopping helps support companies that treat employees fairly, pay better wages, and strengthen the communities we actually live in. Where to start →

I know shopping at Amazon saves you time, and that is why avoiding Amazon this month is your 1-hour of activist homework. The extra time you put in to go to a thrift store or shop directly from a brand is #activist time. #Votewithyourwallet

If you want to help friends and family #avoidamazon too, share this post, and discuss with your gift giving group that you want a "shop small" approach to your gift giving this year.

The good news? There are so many easy alternatives: homemade gifts, thrifted treasures, experiences, local shops, and even “from home” gifts you already have.

If you’re new here, this is what The Efficient Activist is all about: one hour of focused activism each month that adds up to real impact.

These races were part of previous months homework: writing letters and postcards to Democratic voters in PA, NJ, and VA. Those reminders to vote WORKED. Letter-writing campaigns are proven to boost turnout, and you helped protect courts, governorships, and voting rights in three key states.

Do you know anyone upset about current events and doesn't know where to start? Please send them to us!

#Prop50 #CaliforniaVotes #Democracy

Prop 50 passed with 64.4% of the vote — a landslide that proves Californians are ready to fight back against MAGA extremism.

Thank you for actively caring!
