At No Act Too Small (NATS), technology is a tool for action. We’ve been making major strides in refining our digital infrastructure, making NATS more effective, accessible, and resilient. Here’s a look at what’s happening and what’s ahead.
Making Moves: Recent Progress
NATS Homepage Upgrades
-Our **Wix homepage** now streamlines action and information with a single-window layout featuring:
- Event Flyers (sourced from TheBLOP.org)
- NATS Blog (you're looking at it!)
- Mixcloud (for movement-building discussions)
- This clean structure keeps everything accessible without clutter.
BLOP Integration: A Game Changer
- Our **deep integration with TheBLOP.org** now pulls in nearly 500 national events, updated daily.
- Activists can scroll and filter through real-time event data, making it easier than ever to connect with meaningful actions.
A Stronger Partnership with TheBLOP.org
- TheBLOP.org’s expertise in decentralized event aggregation is helping us refine how we display and verify data.
- Together, we ensure activists get accurate, timely event listings without duplication or misinformation.
What’s Next: The Road Ahead
Smarter Automation & Event Processing
- We’re working to automate event intake and validation, reducing manual curation so we can focus on strategy and mobilization.
- Smarter filtering will prioritize high-impact actions, ensuring the most urgent events get visibility.
Buy us a Coffee: Supporting Contributors
- We’re developing a **Patron system** to provide sustainable support for those driving NATS forward—tech, content, and organizing contributors.
- The goal? Ensure the work that sustains NATS is itself sustainable.
Security & Resilience Across Platforms
-We’re strengthening our digital security toolkit to protect against misinformation, data scraping, and infiltration attempts. That starts with infrastructure and correctly setting up DNS
-Our aim is to expand our expertise in security and open-source intelligence, to build a more resilient system for organizers.
Final Thoughts: Mobilizing to save Democracy is an act of joy.
NATS is evolving, and with every improvement, our ability to organize grows stronger. This isn’t about flash and monetization—it’s about building the infrastructure for sustainable, decentralized activism.
We’re grateful for the collective effort making this possible—from our internal team to our partners at TheBLOP.org and the community of organizers, engineers, and strategists working toward a common goal.
Want to be part of it? Reach out, contribute, and help shape what’s next. No act is too small. It's never too late to do the right thing - and it's always sunny on the sidewalk at a #TeslaTakedown
