Like many other anarchists, one of my favorite phrases is "the thing to do is to start" but I don't often suggest a specific thing to begin doing. Of course, you know best what your life and your community needs, what you want to do. But sometimes our imaginations and desires need a little kickstart.

So here are some projects that, if I had infinite time and energy, I would begin and try to build and sustain. Maybe they will inspire you to do something similar! These are explicitly ideas that a few individuals could begin without a ton of resources in a moment when the streets feel somewhat quiet, projects that would help immensely but don't require you to join a local org or get a huge number of people together to organize.
