A Daily Act of Resistance

News EN ↓ 85 episodes

The 2024 US presidential election devastated me. In the days after, I felt a lot of anger, sadness, and despair. However, I wanted to channel those feelings in a positive way. That’s how the idea for this project came to me. My goal is to post something at adailyactofresistance.com every day between now and November 7, 2028 — the next presidential election. This project is my small way of standing up for what I believe in. It’s also a way to inspire you, so that you can find your own ways to join the resistance. Thanks for joining me. Thanks for being a part of this community.
