As #45 normalizes behavior and interests that not too long ago were unthinkable, it is important that we not lose heart or become complacent. The Trump Agenda is a horror to much of what is decent.
The most powerful weapon we have is each other. It is important that we continue to organize and support one another. For when each of us have a success, it is another positive notch of resistance to the Trump Agenda. And it vitalizes others who are working the Resistance. Success breeds Success.
We are the creative resistance. If you make art let’s talk. If you don’t make art, your participation is still vital, read on.
Do you have a Donald Trump beef, inconsistency, or rant? Do you have an opinionated observation? Is something that you value threatened by the Trump agenda? It’s important that during these times that we stand shoulder to shoulder and speak-out. And in our case, make political art together. Our strength and our power is in our ideas, and our best ideas come from artists and non-artists alike.
Either as artists, consultants, or assistants, there’s a lot of work to be done. The more that each of us step up to the plate and resist the Trump agenda, the weaker his mandate will be.
