Have a dream. Make a plan.

That’s what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did. The single idea that all people should be equal spurred a movement that saw our most passionate and compassionate push for Black rights. It’s still a work in progress, but the next generation of activists are already putting their boots on the ground with BLM, the NAACP, and every other acronym we L-O-V-E.

An equitable nation for marginalized communities is a dream we’ll never quit until it becomes reality, but other issues like climate change and reproductive rights also occupy our minds. And while Dr. King said, “The time is always right to do what is right,” finding that time can be challenging when our days already seem packed. To avoid procrastinating, here’s a guide to making activism a part of your everyday life, whether you have a spare hour or wide-open schedule.

You have 5 minutes.
We know you’re busy, so we’ll make this quick. Actually, we’ll make this 3 words: revolutionize from home. It may seem trivial, but clicktivism—aka supporting social movements through online activity—actually works. Just look at K-pop stans, or this recent study that called digitally native activism “revelatory” when directed at specific parties. So instead of retweeting, “Congress needs to get its sh*t together,” share a CTA like, “We need to Stop Ted Cruz from legalizing bribery (which apparently he’s trying to do 🙄) by signing this petition.” LGBTQ+ activist Carmarion D. Anderson-Harvey already told us this is a valid strategy—and that totally includes adding Yara Shahidi’s half protest / half selfie to your story.

You have 1 weekend a month.
If you actually have time to put on pants and go outside, you should be livin’ la vida local. Many national organizations like the Sierra Club have regional chapters to get involved with. A Google search of something like “ways to support reproductive rights in Brooklyn” can also bring up community-based programs such as New York Values, which are always looking for volunteers. And remember to tune into your city’s newspaper during occasions like Black History Month or Earth Day to see what IRL events are coming to a park near you.

You have a spare day a week.
Welcome, all weekly warriors. You’ll want to dig deeper into community programs and local nonprofits to up your action, but in between those planning sessions and email campaigns, set aside some hours for self-care. Activist burnout is very real, so scheduling “soak in the tub while drowning in Sade” is a must. So is not taking on too much, which is why activist coach Omkari Williams recommends sticking to 1 or 2 causes at a time. Check out these tips, like keeping tabs on your mental health and holding “action hours,” so your days aren’t only filled with saving the world.

You have 24 / 7 / 365.
Okay, so even full-time activists aren’t working every second, but this is how often we should strive to support others. Everyday activism doesn’t always mean hitting the streets, but being more mindful when it comes to run-of-the-mill actions. Using inclusive language during a work meeting or remembering to bring your grocery tote are tiny steps that still push the needle forward. And if you’re ever in doubt on how to live a justice-minded life, remember this poem: Roses are red, violets are blue, if you’re not sure what’s right, check the ACLU.
