Enough.
Enough despair at everyone who isn’t doing enough to stop Donald Trump.
Enough fatalism. Enough waiting for somebody else.
The brilliant political strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio just joined us with a clarion call for you, the people, taking matters into your own hands. It’s the only thing that has ever worked in times like this, she says.
Here are her marching orders for you: build people power, starting by creating social proof of how many people feel as you do, and cultivate pressure from the ground up.
Her ideas involve a brilliant new catch-all slogan (Free America!), suggestions of symbols and badges (“I’m in the KNOW”), thoughts about a general strike, and more.
Share this far and wide. Let’s keep going. Let’s keep growing. Thank you one and all.
