The time for despair is over. The time for action is now.
We quickly saw what this administration is willing to do. We have watched as the foundation of our democracy is chipped away, as families are torn apart, and as justice is twisted into something unrecognizable. We have seen the pardons, the policies, and the attacks on our most vulnerable communities. But we have also seen something else — something more powerful than fear, more resilient than oppression.
We have seen resistance.
So, what must we do?
Mobilize at Every Level
Change does not start at the top. It starts in our neighborhoods, our schools and our local governments. If we want to push back, we must organize. We must show up — to city council meetings, to school board elections, to state legislatures. We must make our voices heard in the places where policies take shape. Grassroots movements have always been the backbone of progress. Now, more than ever, we must use our collective power to demand change.
Vote Like Our Lives Depend on It — Because They Do
Hold Corporations Accountable
Many companies have profited off our communities while remaining silent in the face of injustice. Others have actively contributed to the dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. We cannot allow this hypocrisy to stand. Our dollars are powerful tools of resistance. Where we spend our money, where we invest and what we choose to support sends a clear message. If corporations refuse to stand with us, then we must refuse to stand with them. Economic resistance has long been a strategy for change, from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to today’s targeted boycotts of companies that fuel injustice.
Support and Protect the Most Vulnerable
Communities under attack cannot fight alone. Immigrants facing deportation, families torn apart, and Black and Brown communities targeted by systemic racism — we must stand in solidarity with those most affected. That means donating to organizations providing legal aid and resources. It means showing up at protests, volunteering at community centers and using whatever platforms we have to amplify the voices of the marginalized. When one of us is under attack, all of us are under attack. We will not abandon our own.
This administration thrives on division. It seeks to wear us down, to exhaust us into submission. We cannot allow that to happen. We must continue to speak out, to share information and to challenge the lies and propaganda that seek to distort reality. Social media, independent journalism and community organizing — these are our weapons in the fight for truth. Silence is complicity, and we refuse to be complicit.
The Road Ahead
This is just the beginning. The resistance is not a moment; it is a movement. It will not be easy. It will not be quick. But it will be necessary. Our ancestors fought against oppression with fewer resources, with less support, with greater dangers — and they did not back down. We will not be the generation that gives up. We will be the generation that fights back and wins.
This is our moment. This is our fight. And we are just getting started.
