Let your rage only be eclipsed by your higher level of commitment to non-violent action and the fight against this regime.

You have the courage. Spread it to those in need.

Make the calls.
Gather your community. Get in the streets whenever you can.

Resistance United.

Speak up.
Share the truth.

Let's be the people that the future eyes of humanity can look back on with pride, knowing that we did everything we could.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

Thank You, Marc. Your words encourage me to keep fighting, organizing, and speaking up every day. I fight with you.

We've now heard Proud Boys in the same sentence as Hannah Montana. These are truly surreal times.

Question...
"Why aren't we in the streets like..(insert name of other country protesting in large numbers)?"

A thought...
We are...and have been. It is not being covered by mainstream media.
We have to be the reporters, storytellers, documentarians, and freedom fighters too.

We're the ones.
