You’re invited to our next DC Resisters meeting on Sunday, May 31, at 1:00 PM (Eastern Time).
This week, we are pleased to host Left Leaning Ladies, a group of social media creators and activists known for their sharp, humorous takes on politics, online culture, and the realities of being women in digital spaces.
Through their content, they sift through viral posts, commentary, and online discourse to highlight patterns in misinformation, bias, and internet culture—often with a mix of wit and directness. Their work blends political awareness with humor, offering a candid look at how social and political conversations play out online. We’ll learn more about their perspective, their process, and what they’re seeing across today’s digital landscape.

Free America Walkout Rally, Delhi
2026-01-20 14:00 (America/New_York) | Delhi, NY, NY, United States
DCDC invites you to rally with us on the Free America Walkout, Tuesday, January 20 from 2pm at the Courthouse Square. This national event is being organized by the Women’s March organization. This date marks the one year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration. The message for this event, to quote the Women’s March website, is:
WALKOUT FOR OUR FREEDOMS
On January 20 at 2 PM local time, we will walk out of work, school, and commerce because a Free America begins the moment we stop cooperating with fascism.
2025 was a year of marches that proved our collective strength. And the threats have grown so we must too. The MAGA Regime has already signaled that a second term means a deeper and more open wave of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and violence than the first. This moment calls for escalated commitment from our movement.
We walk away from fascism. We walk towards a Free America. We fight for a future that belongs to us all. Everybody in, nobody out.
Please also join us in our commitment to peaceful rallies. Also, refrain from blocking traffic on roadways. Stay on sidewalks or in the square.

DC Resisters Zoom
2026-01-18 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom, United States
Scheduled guest, Professor Miriam Linder, discusses the political and psychological nature of fascism.

May Day Strong - Delhi Rally
2026-01-10 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Delhi Courthouse Square, Church Street, Delhi, 13753
ICE Out, NO War for Oil Demonstration: Sat., Jan. 10, Noon–1pm, Courthouse Square sidewalk, Delhi. (Note: this reflects a change of venue).

This gathering, in solidarity with May Day Strong, will protest Trump administration incursions into Venezuela and the murder of a US citizen by ICE in Minneapolis—uniting against a “reckless regime that occupies other countries and our cities on behalf of a handful of billionaires.”

May Day Strong is a broad progressive coalition of labor unions and community groups that is mobilizing nationwide protests on Saturday.

Central to these actions is a commitment to nonviolence. All participants are expected to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Please respect private property, stay on the sidewalk and don’t obstruct pedestrians or vehicular traffic.

While this is not a DCDC event, we are helping to promote it. This is short notice, so please feel free to share.
