This succession of pictures will help restore your faith in humanity, in the power of numbers, in We The People, and the America we hope to become. It did for me as I assembled this look back on The Year in #Resistance. From the National Women’s March to fighting the Muslim ban and the Dakota Access Pipeline to fending off Republicans’ all-out assault on Obamacare and immigrants/Dreamers—we didn’t win ‘em all, but we sure as hell won a lot of ‘em.
2017 was just the beginning of rediscovering our collective power, and what a year it was.
