"RESIST and HEAL" is a grassroots campaign to resist techno-facism and heal our culture.
The goals of “Resist and Heal” meetups are to build community, share trusted voices, and encourage each other to take SPECIFIC ACTIONS to HEAL personally and RESIST cooperatively.
We support shared Constitutional values of human rights, representative democracy, religious tolerance, and non-violent resistance.
This is a long term culture change initiative.
"The Work" we need to do includes:
"The Work" we need to do includes:
Wellness: Taking care of our mental and physical health, and the health/wellness of our loved ones and families.
Education: Educating ourselves and sharing "trusted voices" / media sources who can help us understand dynamic events around us in context.
Community Building: Connecting, networking, and supporting each other through in-person / face-to-face groups as well as online / virtual groups.
Resisting: Acting directly to resist fascism and techno-fascism. Building and understanding our own "menu of resistance" and taking concrete steps to support the values we believe in and oppose the actions of those who seek to dismantle democracy, oppose human rights, end religious tolerance, etc.
Protecting: Take steps to protect our privacy and the privacy of family and friends. Take proactive steps to prepare for natural and human-influenced disasters.
Healing: Acting as culture HEALERS not culture warriors in our communities. Working to build trust in people and institutions. Amplifying inspiring and uplifting stories of kindness, love and hope.
Serving: Acting as selfless public servants in our communities. Acts of public service could include serving food at a shelter for people experiencing homelessness, volunteering with a local non-profit, or serving as an elected community official or in a volunteer role with a local club or organization.
As I write the initial draft of this website on March 4, 2025, these answers are still emerging.
We have limited protest campaigns to "resist" and show opposition to the illegal, effective Presidency of Elon Musk under the permissive shadow of Donald Trump, but the specifics of this protest movement are not yet well defined.
We can not yet identify national leaders for this protest movement.
Despite these shortcomings, there are some things we DO know.
"The playbook of resistance" has been created and followed by others who have gone before us, including our African-American brothers and sisters who have struggled for centuries for freedom, justice, and human rights.
Mass protest is most likely the strongest tool and strategy we will have to slow and eventually overcome the rise of techno-fascism in the United States by peaceful means. Our elected officials in Congress appear unwilling and unable to collectively act to oppose the Project 2025 agenda. It is not clear how effective our judges and judiciary will be in checking / limiting executive power. We do NOT want our military to follow the example of Egypt in 2013. Mass protest movements take time to organize and build, however, and that timeline is impossible to predict. We can learn from the past experiences of those who have protested government actions throughout the world.
This work will be opposed by techno-fascist advocates.
