PROTEST

That's how our country got started

The Boston Tea Party-civil disobedience

The Daughters of Liberty-boycotts

The Continental Congress-making their voices heard

Protest is in the DNA of ALL Americans.

But it's important to remember that they weren't protesting against people. Rather, they were fighting for ideals.

Like FREEDOM. JUSTICE. EQUALITY.

We in the #Resistance are fighting for the same concepts.

Everybody want tax cuts. We want them to be EQUAL so they help everyone

Everybody needs healthcare. We believe JUSTICE demands that it's affordable for all

Everybody in the US came from elsewhere seeking FREEDOM. We believe this generation of immigrants deserves the same chance

That's why we march; why we chant; why we

PROTEST.

Because we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all people are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

PROTEST

And we hope you join us. Because we think-we KNOW-that all Americans believe in

FREEDOM. JUSTICE. EQUALITY.

E pluribus unum.

Out of many, one.

Because we PROTEST.
