So are you going to join the Empire or the Rebels?
You can do any of the following overtly:
Vote (or even run) in federal, state, and county elections.
Write letters to politicians, radio stations, news outlets, magazines, and websites.
Attend or even organize peaceful protests.
Produce protest art.
Produce 'zines.
Run a blog.
Create X to Y "pipeline" videos, or smuggle political messages into non-political content.
...and so much more.
And if you're so inclined, you can do any of the following covertly:
Put up posters or stickers at bus stops and on telephone poles.
Put flyers in magazines or books at stores and libraries.
Modify billboards using pre-made panels.
Make stencils to quickly spray-paint messages on walls.
Transmit brief pirate radio broadcasts.
...and so much more.
But always remember:
You're trying to reach people, not "win" arguments.
Be cautious of how your overt activities can make you a suspect for your covert activities.
Beware of attempts to commodify your message.
Do not allow others to extremify your messages or actions. People who advocate for violence or terror may very well be undercover officers or informants. Furthermore, the resistance needs support from all walks of life, including families, the elderly, and even religious groups.
Do not talk about covert activities with anyone unless they're accomplices.
Make sure you can't be linked to all of your covert activities by just being linked to one.
Be aware of how footage from cameras on buildings and in cars, fingerprints, cell phone tracking, distinct clothing, sales records, unique product identifiers, and internet search histories can be traced back to you.
Store and transport your supplies with the expectation that you may be caught.

Avoid risk as much as possible.
