“WHEN TYRANNY BECOMES LAW,
REBELLION BECOMES DUTY.”
— Attributed to Thomas Jefferson, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence of the United States
How do we build on the February 5th and 17th mass protests? Join us for a webinar to level up together.
BuildTheResistance.org is your real-time window into the growing movement fighting to defend our country and communities against Trump and his wealthy cronies who are undermining the constitution and rule of law to advance an agenda made by and for the 1%. We visualize the resistance by compiling examples of how people can
1. RESIST
2. BUILD
3. WIN
Unchecked abuse of executive power erodes the rule of law, upends civil liberties, and creates a culture of fear and intimidation. Strongman politics depend upon your silence and isolation. But we will not be silenced.
Resistance is not just for activists and the courts. Building the world we want requires everyday actions by everyday people. From protests in the streets to political advocacy, from whistleblowers to mutual aid networks, from security guards blocking Muskrats to librarians fighting censorship — the resistance is here. Stay informed. Get organized. Use your voice. Use your skills. Resist.
WHO ARE WE?
BuildTheResistance is not an organization. It is, first and foremost, a call to action. It is a resource hub and movement megaphone – amplifying actions, resources, and victories that protect democracy, equality, and human rights. Our volume is designed to drown out the doom, despair, and isolation that feeds fascism.
“Resist” is filled with specific calls-to-action, including protests; “Build” hosts toolkits, databases, guides, and trainings; “Win” features blogs, showcasing times when resistance succeeded. The Resistance Feed collects posts tagged with #BuildTheResistance from across the internet, providing inspiration and hope to remind people they are not alone in this struggle.
This site is being built by concerned everyday people whose names are intentionally not listed for their own safety. In fact, you can be one of those people too, helping to co-create this hub by anonymously adding resources and actions on the “Resist”, “Build”, and “Win” pages, as well as by posting on social media with #BuildTheResistance.
