Reply To: On Tyranny Lesson 1: Do Not Obey in Advance
Jane, I am sure I know only a few. These are the ones I have supported in some way:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)-this is an organization with a proven track record of defending individual rights, even of unpopular groups
Democracy Docket is the work of Marc Elias-his law firm is best known for its work defending voting rights.
I think one can support the writers and publishers of media that consistently challenges the authoritarian efforts of the administration, much of this is available free (even reading them makes a statement) but subscribing gives them more clout and financial resources. I like “The Contrarian” “Civil Discourse” and Heather Cox Richardson and Andy Borowitz. While he is usually noted for his short, satirical pieces, he is the writer of a well regarded book, “Profiles in Ignorance.” And one of my favorite media analysts is Margaret Sullivan-link here.

Cheryl Meadows previously reported on her work with Indivisible. There are chapters all over the U.S. I am not a big joiner but find their work and public events helpful reminders that there is company in resisting.
I hope others identify their favorites.
