March 20, 2017 Staff, www.theguardian.com Resist! London, March, Racism

By Staff of The Guardian - As many as 30,000 people have joined a march against racism in London during which campaigners voiced their opposition to the wave of populism they say elected Donald Trump, saw Britain vote to leave the EU and fuelled the rise of far-right politics around Europe. The former Guantánamo Bay prisoner Moazzam Begg, one of the speakers at the Saturday protest, said Trump was one of the “bad dudes” who should be sent to the internment camp in Cuba. Speaking from a stage in Parliament Square, Begg referenced a speech by the US president in which he said he would be sending more inmates to the controversial facility.

When You Brag That The Women’s Marches Were Nonviolent

February 7, 2017 Ijeoma Oluo, www.theestablishment.co Strategize! March, Nonviolence, Women

By Ijeoma Oluo for The Establishment - When you brag that your protests had no arrests, I wonder what you think that says about you. “When someone asks me about violence… I just find it incredible. Because what it means is that the person asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through — what black people have experienced in this country — since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa.” — Angela Davis

Race, History And The #ScienceMarch

February 6, 2017 Christopher F. Petrella, www.aaihs.org Resist! History, March, Race, Science

By Christopher F. Petrella for Black Perspectives - Donald Trump is an anti-science president. In fact, his entire raison d'être -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- stands at cross-purposes with the scientific method, systematic inquiry, and even the basic notion of evidentiary support. In the few days since his inauguration, Trump has already prohibited scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from speaking to the public about their research. Moreover, the White House recently expunged U.S. National Park Service (NPS) Twitter content highlighting the threat of climate change. In the wake of Trump's dictates, concerned scientists have taken to social media to plan a protest in Washington, DC...

February 2, 2017 Hayley Miller, www.huffingtonpost.com Resist! Donald Trump, March, Protests

By Hayley Miller for The Huffington Post - Hundreds of people protesting President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks marched on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn, New York, home Tuesday night, demanding he fight the nominations. As protests against Trump and his policies sweep the nation, activists took to the streets in front of 9 Prospect Park West, the apartment building where Schumer lives in the upscale neighborhood of Park Slope. Demonstrators chanted, “Chuck! Chuck! Don’t sell us out! We need a fighter to knock Trump out!” and, “No hate! No fear! Refugees are welcome here!” as they marched toward Schumer’s house. Schumer, the top-ranking Senate Democrat, has been an outspoken opponent to many of Trump’s picks for the new administration.

Think Women’s March Wasn’t Radical Enough? Do Something About It

January 27, 2017 Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, www.theguardian.com Resist! March, Woman

By Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for The Guardian - It might not have been as black, brown or working class as many might have liked. But criticizing it from the sidelines doesn’t help anyone. The United States has just experienced a corporate hijacking. If Trump’s inaugural speech did not alert you to the fact that they intend to come after all of us, then you are not paying attention. The scale of the attack is as deep as it is wide, and this means that we will need a mass movement to confront it. To organize such a movement necessarily means that it will involve the previously uninitiated – those who are new to activism and organizing. We have to welcome those people and stop the arrogant and moralistic chastising...

Scientists’ March On Washington

January 26, 2017 Staff, www.scientistsmarchonwashington.com Resist! March, Science, Washington DC

By Staff of Scientists' March On Washington - Welcome! We want to thank you all for your incredible outpouring of support for this march. We are working to schedule a March for Science on DC and across the United States. We have not settled on a date yet but will do so as quickly as possible and announce it here. Although this will start with a march, we hope to use this as a starting point to take a stand for science in politics. Slashing funding and restricting scientists from communicating their findings (from tax-funded research!) with the public is absurd and cannot be allowed to stand as policy. This is a non-partisan issue that reaches far beyond people in the STEM fields and should concern anyone who values empirical research and science.

The march and the people are here to express their humanity and I want to contribute to it.

December 12, 2016 John Zangas, www.dcmediagroup.us Resist! March, Sioux, Standing Rock, Washington DC

By John Zangas for DC Media Group - Washington, DC–A cold snap did not stop hundreds from marching to the Capitol with Standing Rock Sioux and allied tribe members of the Pontiac and Piscataway Nations on Sunday. Elders embraced allies as “relatives” to continue building on a growing bond of solidarity, and thanked them for their support in opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline project over the last year. Resistance camps at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota protesting the pipeline has galvanized environmental movement enthusiasm against fossil fuel projects, which could contaminate the water supply of millions of people downstream.

Women’s March On Washington Barred From Lincoln Memorial

December 12, 2016 Amber Jamieson and Jessica Glenza, www.theguardian.com Organize! March, Washington DC, Women

By Amber Jamieson and Jessica Glenza for The Guardian - For the thousands hoping to echo the civil rights and anti-Vietnam rallies at Lincoln Memorial by joining the women’s march on Washington the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration: time to readjust your expectations. The Women’s March won’t be held at the Lincoln Memorial. That’s because the National Park Service, on behalf of the Presidential Inauguration Committee, filed documents securing large swaths of the national mall and Pennsylvania Avenue, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial for the inauguration festivities. None of these spots will be open for protesters.

Farmers On The March

November 4, 2016 Vijay Prashad, www.mayday.leftword.com Resist! Farms, March

By Vijay Prashad for Left World - From all parts of the country, Indian kisans will descend upon Delhi on November 24. They are marching as part of a Kisan Sangharsh Jatha, organised by the All-India Kisan Sabha. The farmers began their Jatha – their march – at the corners of the country, holding meetings as they go along to spread the word about the harsh attack on rural India. This attack has been on-going for the past twenty-five years – with cuts at rural credit, push to consolidation of farms and the emergence of a new kind of predatory factory farming.

In Corporate March To Clean Energy, Utilities Not Required

August 9, 2016 Jan Ellen Spiegel, www.insideclimatenews.org Create! Clean Energy, March

By Jan Ellen Spiegel for Inside Climate News - A curious thing happened while U.S. utilities were focusing on cheap fracked gas, expensive nuclear power, what to do about coal, and how to fight renewable energy models that threatened their bottom line. Some of the nation's largest corporations decided not to wait for utilities and took their interest in renewable energy into their own hands. They bought their own clean power. And they bought it directly from the companies that produced it. No utility middleman needed.
