Millions marched in pussy hats on the day after the inauguration; outraged citizens flocked to airports to declare that America must be open to immigrants; masses of demonstrators circled the White House to demand action on climate change; and that was only the beginning. Who are the millions of people marching against the Trump administration, how are they connected to the Blue Wave that washed over the U.S. Congress in 2018 -- and what does it all mean for the future of American democracy? American Resistance traces activists from the streets back to the communities and congressional districts around the country where they live, work, and vote. Using innovative data and interviews with key players, Dana R. Fisher analyzes how Resistance groups have channeled outrage into activism, using distributed organizing to make activism possible by anyone from anywhere, whenever and wherever it is needed most. Beginning with the Women's March and following the movement through the 2018 midterms, Fisher demonstrates how the energy and enthusiasm of the Resistance paid off in a wave of Democratic victories. She reveals how the Left rebounded from the devastating 2016 election, the lessons for turning grassroots passion into electoral gains, and what comes next for the Resistance movement. American Resistance explains the organizing that is revitalizing democracy to counter Trump's presidency"14aTrump, Donald, d1946- xAdversaries.17aTrump, Donald,d1946-2fast 4aProtest movementszUnited Statesy21st century. 4aGovernment, Resistance tozUnited States xHistory y21st century. 4aProtest movementszUnited StatesxHistoryy21st century. 4aOpposition (Political science) zUnited States 4aRight and left (Political science) zUnited States. 4aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty2017- 2lcccBK 00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oE912 .F57 2019pPNLIB21061118r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK c1304d1304
