One form of activism that is safe and relatively easy to sell is the concept of serving on juries...and hanging trials when a defendant is on trial unjustly. All it takes is one juror to not agree, and be steadfast, and they can't convict.
A person can make a hobby of getting on juries in trials where the State is prosecuting (persecuting?) an individual for a "crime" that has no victim and has harmed no one. Heaven knows we have plenty of those kinds of trials these days, and they will increase as the War on (people who choose to use) Drugs and the "War on Terrorism" continue to escalate.
