Join the Resistance

Closeup of mural of Congressman John R. Lewis I appeal to all of you to get into this great revolution that is sweeping this nation. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and hamlet of this nation until true freedom comes, until the revolution of 1776 is complete. John Lewis

Resistance is growing. Not just in big cities. Not just in blue states. All across the country.

Bernie Sanders and AOC get wildly enthusiastic crowds. Republican leadership tells Congressional reps to cancel town halls. When they don’t, they get an earful from angry constituents, right, left, and center.

Demonstrations (yes, non-violent demonstrations) targeted Tesla all over the country this weekend. Spontaneous organizing shows up with banners at freeway overpasses or on street corners. Meanwhile, the legal battles continue in courts across the country.

Next weekend–BIG national mobilization called Hands Off. If you are in the Twin Cities, it’s at the State Capitol at noon on Saturday, April 5. Other MN locations include Farmington, Chaska, Plymouth, Northfield, Anoka, St. Peter, Owatonna, Rochester, New Ulm, Wabasha, Willmar, Winona, Brainerd, Alexandria, Cyrus, Cloquet, and Duluth. Click here for an event near you, wherever you live.

And for a few signs of hope:
