Asked about the protests against Donald Trump, President Obama offered up blunt advice to Trump and encouraging support for protesters.
"I've been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years. And I suspect that there's not a president in our history that hasn't been subject to these protests. So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn't advise them to be silent."
Don’t be silent. Don’t be still. Get out, march and make your feelings about Donald Trump and the white nationalist agenda clear. While you’re at it, build connections, band together, bond over issues, form alliances and make plans.
And don’t forget ...
- If you have additional events, please let me know.
- If you are staging an event, and want help getting out the word, let me know.
- If you’re thinking about having an event, but aren’t sure. Let me know.
- If you’re thinking of attending an event, post a comment, write a diary, let everyone know.
- When you attend an event, write a diary so you can tell everyone about it.
- Spread the word, spread ideas, help us make sure all this energy goes to actually stopping Trump’s hateful agenda.
- Bring back pictures!
