From the organizers, “If you care about humanity, come to this peaceful sit-in at Trump Tower in NYC. This is not an anti-Trump protest, it’s a pro-refugee message to the President-Elect of the United States. We will show love, not hatred.”

From the organizers, “Join No, Dear Magazine as we celebrate the launch of #BlackPoetsSpeakOut; edited and hosted by [poet and activist] Mahogany L. Browne. Featuring readers Yaya Bey, Jennifer Falu, Rico Frederick, Steven Levya, Venessa Marco, Yesenia Montilla, Christina Olivares, Jive Poetic.”

2) Paul Ryan is feigning ignorance again. Call his office at (202) 225-3031 and let him know that this is not ok. Same with Majority Leader McConnell, (202) 224-2541.

3) Call out the media when they report the Bannon appointment as a straight news story or refer to him as a "Breitbart executive" or a "provocateur," but don't call him what he is: a white supremacist, anti-semite, misogynist. Don't let them normalize.

4) Where protests are ongoing, make this the focus, with signs, chants, etc. Next week we can turn out attention to other things. But for now let's focus like a laser on this.

5) Let's get religious groups on board; maybe even mainstream business groups, like the Chamber of Commerce (202-659-6000).

6) Contact other people of influence--College presidents, high-profile coaches and anyone else who has a public megaphone.

We can do this.

Please take action on this, share this post and ask others to take action as well."
