fact-check whatever you share, and what others around you share. don& #39;t let others use fake news as ammunition to discredit you. and don& #39;t make the jobs of reporters harder than it is. https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/wrong-girl-goes-viral-on-social-media-as-hathras-victim-1726722-2020-09-29">https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-chec...
write to authorities. fact check the emails, and personalize them so they don& #39;t end up in spam folders. https://twitter.com/tartlikelemon/status/1311215067430400000?s=20">https://twitter.com/tartlikel...
tap into your strengths. create art, create posters, write*, collate resources, write code that sends automated emails to authorities, help detainees with legalities, etc.
(*that being said, please don& #39;t speak over marginalized voices and/or romanticize oppression

have conversations within your social circles. silence can be complicity. shorter reads to arm yourself with arguments so you& #39;re not tongue-tied when your UC family relative inevitably says "why make this about caste?"

take breaks if you have to. yes, withdrawal is a privilege, but you& #39;re better off to take a step back every once in a while instead of being permanently burnt out.
I& #39;ll add more to this thread if I learn of other resources and methods to get involved without getting in the way of those who are protesting on the ground.
