This week’s Good News from the Resistance:  The Summer of 2017 surely will go down as the Summer of Protests – both carried out and cancelled. It started last week in Boston, where 40,000+ marchers took to the streets to rally against hate, and continued this past Saturday, when 680+ Rallies Against Hate were held across the country, from Fresno, California to Knoxville, Tennessee. In an unequivocal display of love trumping hate, dozens of White Supremacist “free speech” gatherings were called off at the last minute, but the Good Guys still showed up. In this week’s Good News:

  • San Franciscans put their dogs to work against hate
  • Berkeley wins our “Most Creative Resistance Technique” award
  • Anti-Muslim hate mongers cancel 67 rallies
  • Rolling Stone’s comprehensive account of The Resistance
  • Rabbis refuse to answer 45’s call
  • Singer Missy Elliott vs. Confederate statute
  • Former CIA agent Valerie Plame’s big idea
  • UN panel weighs in against 45
  • Mueller and his team go deeper
  • WH staffer you’ve never heard of quits
  • Nun’s public slam of Paul Ryan
  • Liberty University students return their diplomas
  • People who make a difference: Cleveland Brown Seth DeValve
  • Take action: Help victims (humans & their pets) of Hurricane Harvey

Sign Up. Show Up. Never give up.
