Yesterday, I attended a fantastic resistance march called the Athens Day of Resistance. There were over 800 people, all chanting, marching, and fighting for our cause. I’m thrilled to have been part of this. The fight has just begun, and it’s not over until we say it’s over. When human rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!

#REIN of influence for #Trump

I remembered during the time I was still a child, I really loved riding miniature motorized vehicles; you get access with payment of RM 3.00. The business model was really simple and efficient, it targeted anyone with a child. Hence, it really doesn't end there; and eventually I learn about capitalism influencing the positioning of vendors within the shopping mall to entice people to spend more. Reeling in the benefits, while spreading the compound interest of wanting more for status and visibility for people to spend more for their status quo.

Everyone is bound to be distracted from the essential fundamentals, and eventually awed by the auscultation of direct conflicts (experiences) that happens directly or indirectly to them.

The following groups (Lopez, G. 2017 of Vox) has done a tremendous job in inciting the emotions of fellow democrats or those who at least love the notion of 'personal freedom' and to do more indirect dents to their cause. The list are as follows :

1. #J20Resist 2. #InaugurateTheResistance 3. The Inaugural #Trump420 4. Occupy Inauguration 5. #NotMyPresident 6. Let America Hear Us, Roar for Trump 7. Bikers for Trump 8. Women’s March on Washington 9. Pro-Life Presence at the Women’s March

While the media was busy relaying stories that (Krieg, G. 2017 of CNN) two hundred individuals (eventually more arrest made) involved in the above groups were arrested, while summation of Donald J. Trump being a fascist. Donald J. Trump (Pope, C. 2017) influential spectrum had the ability to approve the REINS act. Depending where you are in the sphere of political hemisphere, this eventually mean the relaxation of policies in reference towards the red tape of approvals against operations area of food packaging, drug production and chemical vetting procedures against any safety standards.

Do we really want members of Congress deciding whether a chemical can safely be used in food packaging? Or the proper procedures for approving new drugs as safe and effective? Or setting the allowable safety standard for heavy metals in drinking water?

However, who is really at lost when Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of the democratic party; stated that by having the REINS act approved it would really mean the end of rule making. Just what does this really mean ? Is it the end for democratic influence over legislation authorization for the Democrats ?

Donald J. Trump in all his right, has probably overseen this and proceeded to action this faulty process (Korte, G. 2017 of USA TODAY); within his first 3 days within the Oval Office.

Hyperallergic: Artists Coordinate a Banner Drop Against Hate For Inauguration Weekend

A sign by Peter Ferrari outside Little’s Cafe in Atlanta (photo by Isadora Pennington)

Banners painted with messages of love, unity, and resilience now adorn the facades of dozens of buildings around Philadelphia and Atlanta as a response to what organizers of the coordinated drops describe as “a global shift towards fear and exclusivity.​” Although the dual-city effort’s urge for America to come together launched today to coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration, it is not a protest directed at America’s least popular president in decades but rather serves as a visual stance against hate and divisiveness during this particularly tense weekend.

Over 100 artists and arts organizations spread across Philadelphia and Atlanta have contributed their colorful creations, which now adorn art spaces but also churches, bars, retail stores, restaurants, and tattoo parlors, whose owners have signed onto the project as well. These #SignsofSolidarity, as the action is called, include phrases like, “Girls w/ dreams become women w/ vision”; “No Matter How Dim, Continue To Shine”; “Moral outrage is born of love”; and “This is not normal. But we are not normal either. We will change the ordinary by being extraordinary.” They remain up through January 22.

“For me personally, this project is about two big things: first, refusing to treat the Inauguration of Donald Trump like any normal political event, and second, working with dozens and dozens of Philadelphians to send the message that we as a city overwhelmingly stand in opposition to hate and divisiveness,” photographer Conrad Benner, who helped organize the Philadelphia actions, told Hyperallergic. “That the City of Brotherly Love is a place for just that, love and inclusivity. And we’re a much better city for it.”

#SignsofSolidarity began in Philadelphia, initially conceived as a banner drop confined to private homes. It quickly grew, though, into a city-wide endeavor and crossed the 800 miles into Atlanta after Monica Campana of local nonprofit Living Walls heard about it. After contacting Benner and his collaborators to express her interest in replicating their efforts in the cradle of the civil rights movement, she began reaching out to people in the Atlanta arts community, and many responded swiftly.

“For me, as an immigrant from Peru, and a woman, this project is important in a time when hate towards people like me and other marginalized groups is being justified,” Campana told Hyperallergic. “We, as artists, need to create spaces of support, hope and resistance. For me this project is simply a way that I can give people a little glimpse of hope. It is a way for me to tell them we are not alone, and for the whole ATL arts community to come as one to make the statement that we do not stand for hate.”

Artist Michelle Angela Ortiz‘s banner, which hangs at Johnny Brenda’s Tavern in Philadelphia, is one that specifically addresses communities at risk with the entry of Trump’s administration. Featuring two hummingbirds in flight, it reads, “You can’t take away our resilience, our beauty, our humanity, our strength. ‘Aqui Me Quedo/‘ [Here I will stay].”

“I felt it was necessary for me to say these words, as a child of immigrants, a woman of color, a mother, and artist working in communities,” Ortiz said. “I want these words to resonate in our minds and hearts and be reminded of our collective strength needed to continue to resist the growing hate and injustice in our country.”

While many people are headed to Washington, DC or New York City to join actions including the Women’s March on Washington and that on New York; Black, Brown & Indigenous Mobilize Against White Nationalism; #InaugurateTheResistance; and #NotMyPresident, many others are unable to attend these actions even if they wish to. Spread across two cities, #SignsofSolidarity offers an opportunity for artists to respond, loudly, to the election in their own towns while creating a connection with communities beyond these local borders.

“If we accomplish anything, I personally hope it’s that we can help to make the many, many communities that Donald Trump has attacked over the course of his campaign feel loved, appreciated, and wanted,” Benner said. “Donald Trump does not speak for the majority of Americans — heck he doesn’t even speak for the majority of American voters. It’s my belief that the majority of Americans choose love, and I hope everyone can feel that love this week.”

My Ethiopian-American cab driver is a GREAT American; and, in this his fifth #inauguration, he said he's never seen #DC like this. "We're not excited," he said. "We're afraid." But he added, "in our great country," talking about how we move beyond Trump, "we set an example for the world." Not like the violent behavior "taking guns to each other" as is done sometimes in #Africa. He encouraged me to express my #voice with #dignity (as many of you have also done.) "You gotta do what you gotta do," he said. #freedom #democracy #people #trump #inauguratetheresistance #fakepresident #russianpuppet #USA #ACTION #demonstrations http://ift.tt/2jNC1mH

Looking For Anti-Trump Protests? Here Are Dozens To Choose From.

A man who bragged about sexually assaulting women, mocked a reporter with a disabilityand invited a foreign adversary to hack the U.S. government will be sworn in next Friday as the 45th president of the United States.

And while its a fact that President-elect Donald Trump will be the next leader of the free world the first one to refuse to release his taxes since 1976, by the way you certainly dont have to like it.

You can voice your concern at one of the hundreds of demonstrations planned across the country and around the world in the days surrounding the inauguration.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), along with congressional Democrats and health care activists, plans to lead dozens of rallies nationwide in an initiative called Our First Stand: Save Our Health Care. Most of the events are scheduled for this weekend, a few days before the inauguration.

Hundreds of poets are expected to gather on the steps of their local city halls on Sunday, Jan. 15, during the nationwide Poets Protest Against Trump.

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore tweetedlast month in support of the #DisruptJ20 Inauguration Day rallies planned around Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.The events are led by a collective of experience activists who call themselves the DC Welcoming Committee, according to the #DisruptJ20 website, which also lists numerous protests beyond the Beltway.

And, of course, the Womens March on Washington and its more than 280 sister marches are expected to be the main event on Saturday, Jan. 21.

Nearly 600,000 people of all gender identities are expected to flood the streets of major cities across the world on Trumps first full day in office.

For even more events, take a look at the listings below, which we will continue to update. Be sure to check which events have been issued permits, and know that your participation in non-permitted demonstrations could result in arrest.

And if those events are a no-go, you can always participate in the national general strike by refusing to work, shop or go to school on Inauguration Day.

However you plan to resist, stay safe and open-minded. Remember to listen to and respect one another.

Now go forth and protest.

Note: This is not a comprehensive list of events. This article will be updated as more information becomes available. Check back for updates.
