On the same day as the 2017 Presidential inauguration, at the Lincoln Theater in Washington DC, a group of passionate, intersectional activists held what they called the "Anti-Inauguration". It was a rally for those who continue to resist the bigotry, fear, hatred, and greed that the newly-installed President symbolizes. The inauguration of the resistance included speeches by Naomi Klein, Jeremy Scahill, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Owen Jones, and Anand Gopal. THE ANTI-INAUGURATION: BUILDING RESISTANCE IN THE TRUMP ERA is a transcript of those speeches. The speakers discuss economics, social policy, civil rights, status quo politics, and how they believe that Trump was able to win the election - and how to revitalize those issues to inspire activism in this new political era.
