Howdy, we’re Everyday Activist

Staying informed and taking action shouldn’t require spending hours doomscrolling or fighting social media algorithms.

That’s why Everyday Activist exists.

Everyday Activist is a space for people who want to engage in meaningful activism—without the burnout, gatekeeping, or endless noise. It’s built on the belief that activism should be accessible, sustainable, and actionable.

People power movements, and Everyday Activist exists to make sure more people feel empowered to show up, stay informed, and take action in ways that actually make an impact.

Why Substack?

While you can find us daily on Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky, we know sometimes we need to unplug and just get the most important downloads without social media.

Here on Substack, you’ll find our EA Weekend Roundup—a weekly recap of the most important news and direct action steps, sent straight to your inbox.

Every Saturday, subscribers receive:

The Weekend Roundup – A curated list of key news stories from the past week. No filler, no sensationalism—just what actually happened and why it matters.
The Action List – Five concrete ways to take action, from contacting representatives to supporting on-the-ground organizations and participating in direct advocacy.

No algorithm deciding what’s important. No punditry or speculation. Just real information and real action.

Stepping away from social media shouldn’t mean stepping away from activism. This space is about making sure people have a sustainable way to stay engaged—one that prioritizes clarity, action, and community over doomscrolling.

Let’s Build This Together

Everyday Activist is a community, first. A space for people who are tired of feeling powerless, who want to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed, and who believe in making a difference.

What issues are most important to you right now?
What would make it easier for you to stay engaged and take action?

And if you know someone who wants to stay engaged without being glued to social media, share this with them. The more of us who stay informed, the stronger we are.

See you Saturday.
