Malika ,7 and Ameenah, 4, Edinburgh, Scotland. Malika: "I don't like Donald Trump because he is a sucker, and he doesn't like girls and girls are fantastic. Plus he doesn't like Muslims and my dad, who is from Morocco, is a Muslim. I feel bad because a lot of my family are Muslims and Donald Trump has made it clear too many times that Muslims aren't good. I would love to meet Donald Trump and say, "You don't even know us and we know you more than you know us." I loved going on both marches (we went on one on the day of his inauguration and one just after he introduced the visa ban) because I wanted to tell everyone that Donald Trump is not a good person." Ameenah: "I think Donald Trump is a poo-poo stupid." #facesofresistance #resist #AisforActivist #tweensofLeith #Scotlandhatedyoufirst #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike #DonaldIhopeyousteponapieceoflego #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback #internationalwomensday (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

Juliette, 3, Queens, New York. From Juliette's mom: "In New York City the search for a nanny isn't an easy one. The only person who printed out their resume and dressed up for the interview was Tyler. Tyler, from Memphis, TN, has been our nanny for the past 3.5 years. We've tried to do nanny shares but have been turned down many times due to the gender and sexual orientation of our nanny, so discrimination is alive and well still even in such a liberal city like ours. I love that our daughters don't know any different. They weren't taught to hate. Its just very matter of fact that some boys like boys, some boys like girls, some girls like girls--doesn't matter to them and it shouldn't matter to our government." #facesofresistance #resist #ilovemygaynanny #loveislove #lgbtrights #transgenderequality #thestonewallinn #gayrights #lesbianrights #transgenderrights #equality #newyork #iloveny #protecttransyouth #gay #bisexual #lesbian #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #nyc #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #equality #shepersisted #refugeeswelcome #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback #whyifight #whyimarch #whyiresist #whatareyoufightingfor (at The Stonewall Inn)

Arizona is just one of our states that is taking dangerous steps to infringe upon our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and association by penalizing and criminalizing #plannedprotests. "Claiming people are being paid to riot, Republican state senators voted Wednesday to give police new power to arrest anyone who is involved in a peaceful demonstration that may turn bad — even before anything actually happened. Sen. Katie Hobbs, D-Phoenix, said the whole legislation is based on a false premise of how disturbances happen. “This idea that people are being paid to come out and do that?’’ she said. “I’m sorry, but I think that is fake news.’’" #facesofresistance

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas tried hard to avoid made-for-TV confrontations at his first Trump-era town hall Wednesday night. So much for that. Even the Pledge of Allegiance was politicized, as the raucous crowd crescendoed to emphasize the final words “for all” — a clear dig at President Donald Trump,…

#Doyourjob! #Resistance at Senator #TomCotton of #Arkansas's town hall meeting yesterday. #facesofresistance

The White House has lashed out at 'professional' audience members, but some lawmakers say there's no 'evidence' to back the claim.

We are not #paidprotesters. While the White House continues to suggest as much, there are at least some Republican officials who disagree with that false assessment. 👍🇺🇸

"A rift has opened up among Republicans over whether paid protesters are the root cause of raucous town halls, with the White House fueling the narrative that organized, disruptive sympathizers of Hillary Clinton are the culprits.

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) told CNN that the crowd at his most recent town hall event was comprised of “real people with real concerns in terms of what came next on health care.” Some, he said, had come to the event from outside his congressional district, but everyone in the crowd, to his knowledge, was from South Carolina.

“This wasn’t an artificial crowd,” Sanford said. "It wasn’t manufactured.”"

Betty, 73, New York City, retired marketing/communications professional. Visited a mosque in my city to show support for Muslims living here as wonderful neighbors. Trying to regain a vision of America that is open, compassionate, kind and realistic. #facesofresistance #resist #muslimswelcome #weareallmuslims #immigrantswelcome #immigrantrights #religiousfreedom #nobannowall #muslimban #travelban #newyork #newyorkcity #ilovenewyork #iloveny #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at New York, New York)

Heidi, 36, Quality Assurance Technician from #Detroit #Michigan. "Permission is not granted by proximity. These values are tenuous when the leader of our society has declared that being within arm’s reach is consent. The only thing anyone can grab from us is our attention. Women are not objects to be taken at will. Women are not going to allow men to dictate what can be done to, or with our bodies." #facesofresistance #resist #womensmarchonwashington #womensrightsarehumanrights #dontgrabanyonebyanything #puremichigan #pussyhat #pussyhatproject #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at Washington, District of Columbia)

My name is Gary. I'm 58 and I live in Michigan. I am a wood carver and a retired auto worker. I was devastated by Trump's victory, crushed really. I pulled myself together and joined the ACLU within a week of the election. I make my own signs and go to every asembly and rally I can. I joined the local Democratic Group last night and meet so many great people I can't remember all their names!!! I love this movement. I am proud to stand with all of you. #facesofresistance #resist #istandwithpp #michigan #puremichigan #plannedparenthood #herbodyherchoice #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback

Nicole, 26, Graduate student at Stanford. My story is shaped by the struggles of my family and loved ones, thrown into the "American Experiment". My mother's family immigrated to the United States from Lebanon--a majority Muslim country. My grandmother worked hard as a young widow to achieve the American Dream, only for me to realize years later that it was a myth--a privilege granted to some. My sister is gay and is afraid of living in her small town for fear of harm--a feeling she never had until after the election. The Mexican American students I taught in Denver, many of whom are undocumented, now start to question their worth and safety in our country. The are six years old. My story, like all of our stories, is shaped by people I love. People who are now under threat from our new administration. I will always resist threats to justice and proponents of oppression until America is the country that my ancestors came here to be a part of: a pluralist, tolerant, and just society. #facesofresistance #nobannowall #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #resist #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at UC Berkeley)

Emily, 30, Brooklyn-based web designer. My mother’s parents both survived the Holocaust and made their way to America as refugees after the war to start anew. In order to continue celebrating the many ways refugees and immigrants have contributed to our country, I’ve been volunteering to help immigrants learn English. Giving back to my community while learning about the needs and wants of my neighbors helps tear down walls and proves that we are more the same than we are different. #nobannowall #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #facesofresistance #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at Crown Heights, Brooklyn)

Kristina Kaufman: "Half-Chinese/half-Ashkenazi Jewish New Yorker who, breaking from her surprisingly conservative immigrant family, believes that our diversity is what makes us great, that we need more tolerance than hate, and that we have the right and the duty to resist a government that feels more like a fascist regime." (Pictured with an 89 year-old fellow protester in NYC on January 21... her Nasty Woman sign!) #resist #facesofresistance #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback

Liz, 31, Attorney living in New York (via Puerto Rico and Idaho): I march, protest and resist for my four young nieces - Sasha, Zora, Sophia and Lily. I owe it to them to make sure their future is bright and their rights are protected. I can't imagine a world where they have fewer rights or opportunities than I did. On the day of the March on Washington, I wore a shirt with their names, to keep them close to my heart. This is me, with Sasha and Sophia - the future is female and the future is bright, so long as we fight for it! #facesofresistance #resist #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback

I'm Anna. I'm an American attorney living in London. My mother's family captained the Mayflower, hoping to build a new home in a land of religious freedom, and my father moved to the US from Iran in the 1960s, wanting to make a better life for himself. I am currently volunteering with people from the countries affected by Trump's Immigration Executive Order to ensure that they are being allowed to board their US-bound flights and know their rights upon arrival into the United States. We are not a country built on bans and walls, but one where men and women like William Bradford and my father can seek refuge, opportunity and freedom. #facesofresistance #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at U.S. Embassy London)

I'm Shiv. I'm a former surgeon, now banker. My mother is Indian, my father was Jewish, and the ring on my wife's finger came to America sewn into my grandmother's dress as she fled pogroms in Eastern Europe. They were immigrants escaping terrible atrocities. Today's middle eastern refugees are the same. As a physician, I'm here to fight for the health, physical safety and reproductive rights of all human beings; as a naturalized citizen myself I am here to stand up for the constitution: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. #facesofresistance #resist #thefutureisfemale #nobannowall #refugeesarewelcomehere #plannedparenthood #womensrightsarehumanrights #istandwithpp #america #firstamendment #resist #protest #freedom #democracy #dumptrump #impeachtrump #immigrantrights #equality #shepersisted #immigrantswelcome #refugeeswelcome #transgenderrights #weareallmuslim #notmypresident #womensrights #reproductiverights #roevwade #thispussygrabsback (at The Capitol, Washington D.C.)
