Take Action March 8-14
A collection of hundreds of ways you can resist this week.
Happy Friday Dissenters,
The movement is building. This week alone there were over 450 protests nationally with Saturday, March 8 culminating in all celebrating International Women’s Day.
In the weeks to come, even more protests and acts of resistance are planned. Groups are organizing. People are participating. There is hope.
Two quick notes…
Next week, I will be launching a weekly edition of stories from the picket line. These will be stories of everyday people resisting and loving their community. Reach out to me with stories.
Also, 🚨 some Democratic representatives are not standing strong against DOGE or against the budget. Read more HERE. You can call or, if you’re in the DC area, protest on Monday, March 10.
Oh, and I created a BlueSky 🦋. Hope to see you there.
