In this week’s episode, Dan and Tom talk about how they got involved with Indivisible Chicago, the resistance movement, and what they hope to accomplish with this podcast. Dan did his part, but ultimately, things did not work out in Montana. Quist came closer than expected, but not close enough. Still, is this good news or bad news for the Resistance?They also reflect on the first half year of the Resistance Movement. In focusing on Trump, are we also focusing on the agenda Democratic party?For that matter, what is the agenda of the Democratic party? This conversation was sparked by a recent article in The New Republic https://newrepublic.com/article/142425/path-resistance-promise-perils-democrats-fight-against-trump. See also Salon. http://www.salon.com/2017/05/17/future-of-the-resistance-where-does-the-anti-trump-movement-go-from-here/ Tom talks to Jason Rieger, director and founder of Indivisible Chicago about how angst and agony lead to action and organization. We also talk to Indivisible Lincoln Square leader Jessica Droeger about what’s going on in her neighborhood and how the prep is coming for the March for Truth on June 3, 11 am in Federal Plaza. The March is an Indivisible Chicago sponsored event, which means there are bills to pay. Consider dropping a few coins in the hat at https://www.gofundme.com/marchfortruthchi.
