Yes! we have at least two main types of action, outward-facing like this to get others to recognize our point, and inward-facing to help each other understand and not give up.

Besides advertisers, since I have the resources to make charitable contributions, I try to make that count too. If it's unapologetically focused on women and girls, it gets my support, as generous as I can make it. There have been a couple that are clearly wobbling–they have "women" in their title but their publicity tends toward the gender-neutral. Those are the ones I contact and argue with and tell them my support is contingent on their continuing to recognize women as a political class. Case in point: National Advocates for Pregnant Women (http://advocatesforpregnantwomen.org/). And by the way I got a respectful acknowledgment of my message with a promise to pass it up the line. (They're still "on probation" with me, you'll see why if you visit their page.)
