STUDY NONVIOLENCE

Please repost your Nov 7 Fannie Lou Hamer X post here. We will repost as she is a very inspiring example of a violently oppressed person whose courage and resistance brought change. The black struggle in America has the most to teach us about violence and nonviolence as we face a dictatorship.

On this day in 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South.

A visual reminder of what she faced every day.

MAGA claims a mandate for its violent extremist plans. Too many of us seem ready to give them that power. It's not their country, it's still ours. MAGA did not grow. Join and help organize the nonviolent resistance.

Stop saying you don't recognize America anymore. MAGA has polarized our politics but the election was a referendum on Biden-Harris, not an endorsement of MAGA's violent extremist agenda. No, it's not their country, it's still ours, too, unless we just let them take it.

Do not grieve. Do not give up on America just because the same number of assholes who voted for Trump in 2020 did it again in 2024. Do not expect the Democrats to lead the resistance. Do not stay home and await further information. Study nonviolence. Organize. Be the resistance.
