Pushback 56
I hope they've got something good in the works, because the Grassroots and Disloyal Opposition are running circles around the Democrats. Rachel did an 18 minute segment on the protests, which is great, and there's a new resource on disability advocacy below. Keep the links coming, folks!
The topics are listed according to the type of action and actor as described in this post. "Democrats" are elected officials, government agencies, unions, and non-profits. "Grassroots" are individuals, political organizing groups, and informal groups. "Disloyal Opposition" are Republicans, conservatives, business interests, and other interests more typically aligned with the GOP agenda.
This is a crowd-sourced effort, so if you come across a news item or call to action that you think we should include, please email pushback.rebuild at gmail dot com. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Some links will require subscriptions.
