We are a mere two days from a new political era lead by a president who is subject to frequent Twitter tantrums, a populist that has signed on an anti-immigration attorney general with an adversarial relationship to science, and an Education Secretary who may or may not support guns in school because — grizzlies.

Resistance will be important.
Today we launch The Resistance Manual, an open-source platform to compile information/resources to resist. https://t.co/Q2IDs04bnn

The Resistance Manual, launched by Campaign Zero and Stay Woke, the political organization tied to We The Protestors, addresses racism and other issues affecting marginalized communities. Activists DeRay McKesson, Johnetta Elzie, Brittany Packnett and Samuel Sinyangwe are involved in the projects.
“We wanted to create a clear tool that people can use for targeted resistance for the next four years. Protecting progress and advancing justice for vulnerable communities is necessary,” activist Brittany Packnett told Mediaite.com. Activist Samuel Sinyangwe went on to explain, “The project is intended to be a collective resource for communities across the country to connect to the information and resources they need to resist the Trump/GOP agenda.”
The Resistance Manual homepage outlines the Trump/GOP policy agenda, and dire political issues alongside a list of resources and tools for resistance. To gain access as a contributor to the open-source platform, or to start an organizing campaign, send an email to [email protected].
