Yesterday G&S's own Libby Davies appeared on activist Charlie Angus' YouTube Channel (MediaCanada) to talk about restoring democracy. "Meidas resisters are asking how to set up local groups to fight for democracy. To help answer this question, Meidas Canada reached out to Libby Davies, someone who has been doing grassroots activism for decades. Libby has put together a simple guide to explain how to do resistance at the local level." Get your copy on this site right here.
Check out Charlie's note and the video below!
One of the lessons from the age of Trump and the rise of the far right is this: sitting on the sidelines is no longer an option.
Nobody is coming to save us. It falls to us to take control of our democratic future.
That means getting organized. It means showing up. It means having our voices heard. And I know that might sound daunting and frightening - so many of us feel alone at this time.
So today, I want to share with you the discussion I had with my good friend, Libby Davies, about how build change movements.
It’s a grounded, practical discussion about grassroots organizing, connecting and taking that first step to get active — no matter where you are.
Fellow resisters, if you’ve been wondering what you can do, this is a good place to start. I believe it will recharge your batteries and leave you feeling that you can be part of the change that is so badly needed right now.
