We asked members of the AHEAD Facebook group: “What is a way (big or small) that you are resisting?” See some of the inspirational responses below.

Despair. There are times when it’s too much. Zelensky being humiliated by the likes of JD Vance, when Trump parading through Alligator Auschwitz – but I refuse to give into despair, I attend another zoom, call another meeting, make another speech, surrounded by blue warriors. I resist by surrounding myself with activists.

The flags of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine fly along with U.S. beside our front door 

Demanding the Constitution be upheld.

Attending protests. Circulating a petition, participating in my local Democratic party events, donating to causes when I can. Attempting to put the facts out there at every chance. Showing solidarity and finding solace in those who think and feel like I do, when we feel like such a minority! That community is SO important. 

I sign every petition that comes across my resist.bot app. Which is then emailed via the app to the person(s) that it is intended for. 

Rallies – always a good time to make Good Trouble! The more the louder! –

I am keeping track of all the brave people who resist. I’m not sure this counts as my own resistance, but I want them to know that they are appreciated, if only in my head!
