Welcome to How to Resist, a blueprint for resistance based on nonviolence, mutual aid, and community building for ordinary people who want to save democracy.
The spirit of this week’s roundup hit like a tuning fork to the soul. Culture isn’t a side dish in the resistance—it’s the plate. From Nezza singing in Spanish to clergy dissolving ICE’s grip just by showing up, every act reclaims our humanity in spaces designed to erase it. This isn’t just protest; it’s liturgy. May every anthem sung off-script and every drag show held in defiance remind us: liberation is always louder than law and far more imaginative than empire. Keep the fire lit.
So appreciate that you frame resistance as “nonviolence, mutual aid, and community building!” Saw a beautiful example of community building in Providence RI today - random pedestrians strolling across a bridge stopping to participate in a dance lesson, pairing with others they just met to learn to jitterbug!
Love these updates! Thanks for including a legacy media account of the Abolish ICE protest in ABQ-NM. What they didn't mention was that the rally and march were organized and led by various local youth organizations. They did a GREAT job and deserve recognition for their efforts. Gotta love that youth energy and enthusiasm, if not their leaning towards socialism and anger towards ICE/police. I'm very proud of those young folks!
