By now, it is clear that Donald Trump intends to undermine the very foundations of the United States. This is an unprecedented assault on our institutions and the people of the United States and the rest of the world. It is overwhelming. It is scary. But this is not the first time something like this has happened in history, and there are things we can learn from people who have stood up for human rights and democracy in the U.S. and around the world. For many years, I trained members of organizations in direct action tactics. I've worked with neighborhood groups, veterans, environmental groups, cultural organizations, voting rights groups, and activists in the US and Iran, working to prevent a war between our countries. With all of these groups, I started by learning from activists and community organizers who came before us. One way I did this was by sharing some of the documentaries below. These tell the stories of groups of people who came together under dictatorships and brutal conditions and stood up for their own rights and those of their neighbors. I recommend watching them with your family, friends, and neighbors to get inspiration and think about what you can do today to push back against our government. You don't need to copy tactics or do exactly what these people have done in the past, but you can learn lessons and get ideas that may apply our current situation. Nick Jehlen Founder, Dissent Pins
