What is "Resist and Heal?"

"The Work" we need to do includes:

1. Wellness: Taking care of our mental and physical health, and the health/wellness of our loved ones and families.

2. Education: Educating ourselves and sharing "trusted voices" / media sources who can help us understand dynamic events around us in context.

3. Community Building: Connecting, networking, and supporting each other through in-person / face-to-face groups as well as online / virtual groups.

4. Resisting: Acting directly to resist fascism and techno-fascism. Building and understanding our own "menu of resistance" and taking concrete steps to support the values we believe in and oppose the actions of those who seek to dismantle democracy, oppose human rights, end religious tolerance, etc.

5. Protecting: Take steps to protect our privacy and the privacy of family and friends. Take proactive steps to prepare for natural and human-influenced disasters.

6. Healing: Acting as culture HEALERS not culture warriors in our communities. Working to build trust in people and institutions. Amplifying inspiring and uplifting stories of kindness, love and hope.

7. Serving: Acting as selfless public servants in our communities. Acts of public service could include serving food at a shelter for people experiencing homelessness, volunteering with a local non-profit, or serving as an elected community official or in a volunteer role with a local club or organization.

As I update this website on October 12, 2025, these are things we know.

1. Protest movements are growing around the United States. Plan to protest at #NoKings on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Get involved with your local chapter of Indivisible and find out how you can help / volunteer / get active.

2. National leaders for this protest movement ARE emerging, and these include state governors who are "standing up to the empire." Robert Reich noted on October 10th these governors will be likely candidates for President on the Democratic ticket in 2028.
