I have made a New Year's Resolution to become active in the Resistance and to develop a network of friends who are of the same political persuasion, but less inclined to activism.
The Resistance - I hope we can call it a Movement - is developing rallies and marches to speak out on numerous vital topics - healthcare, Planned Parenthood, general women's issues with women's political power. First off in order of being announced is the nationwide Women's March on January 21 - with supporting marches in cities around the country. Next up are coordinated national rallies in support of Planned Parenthood on January 25. And yesterday added to the calendar is a nationwide coordinated healthcare march on January 15 and a working families event on January 16, which is also ML King Day.
PHEW!
Worthy and vital issues, all. My thoughts? Let's not divide and lose. Lots of little gatherings will not impress Trump and Congress. Let's not wear out the activists who will need to prioritize their time and issues. It is crucial that the large numbers in the Resistance not be diluted and divided. Let's Multiply!
Coordinate the resistance, Please!
