To my fellow americans: what grassroots actions can we take to fight Trump's fascism?
I want to start a dialogue among American social democrats about what actions we can take to fight this new wave of fascism in our country. Trump has enacted 200 executive order just today, so his power grab is not going to be negligible
The thing is, political involvement is not something I see much of from the right. I don't see a lot of MAGA philosophy being to be involved with town hall meetings, join a grassroots, joining a union or otherwise. I believe if the working class can organize along these lines, it could be a major bulwark against fascism in this country
To begin with, while this isnt the whole battle, getting involved with local politics is a great start. Be this in getting involved with your local democratic party or joining town hall meetings, this is a great way to make your interests known. By doing this, you can interact with local politicians and influence their opinions by just stating your interests and beliefs.
Moreover, I think joining a union would be a great idea. While not as achievable as getting involved in local politics, if you are blue collar or in public service, union jobs are common among these sectors.
If you can also get involved with a grassroots organization, that would an excellent step in the right direction. If you are a college student or in school, there can be plenty opportunities like this for you.
Now, I am not as familiar with how this could be achievable for the average person, so I definitely want to hear from someone regarding this.
