Not since the protests against the Vietnam War have we seen this kind of all-out activism in the U.S. and around the world.<\/p>\n

And before anyone starts talking about ‘sore losers’, chew on this: Donald Trump won the presidency (actually Steve Bannon did) but he did not win the majority of American support. We all know by now that Trump didn’t win the popular vote but he did win the Electoral College vote and that’s what counts.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

But there is more to it than that. There are 230,000,000 eligible<\/em> voters in the U.S. This means that 90,000,000 Americans didn’t vote. So if 90,000,000 didn’t vote and 66,000,000 voted for Hillary that means over 150,000,000 Americans (a majority) of the eligible 230,000,000 have a president they didn’t vote for. Which somewhat explains his unprecedented unpopularity. And I hope those non-voters are bloody ashamed of what their indifference has wrought.<\/p>\n

As Charles M. Blow said in the New York Times, \u201cTrump\u2019s America is brutal, perverse, regressive, insular and afraid. There is no hope in it; there is no light in it. It is a vast expanse of darkness and desolation. And that is a vision of America that most of the people in this country cannot and will not abide. That is a vision of America that has galvanized ordinary American citizens in opposition in a way that is almost without precedent. We are inching toward anarchy as both the people and the president refuse to back down.\u201d<\/p>\n

And this is where ugly turns beautiful. It is the millions of individuals who are gathering in women’s marches and at airports and as private citizens with organizational ties who are emerging as the real heroes. The most concrete action to follow Trump’s presidential win is that organizations that champion civil liberties, women\u2019s health, immigration rights and anti-discrimination initiatives have seen record-breaking financial contributions and volunteer applications.<\/p>\n

Some of them asked for help and got it but for others the outpouring was spontaneous.<\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a non-profit organization protecting rights and liberties as guaranteed in the Constitution. In the three days<\/span><\/span> following the Trump immigration ban it raised 24 million dollars; a normal annual take is about four million.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood saw a similar rush of support. Social media spread the idea to send donations in Pence’s name to the women\u2019s reproductive rights group as a bit of a poke in the eye to the ultra-right conservative. Of the 260,000 donations since the election, 72,000 have been in Pence\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

The Sierra Club and the International Refugee Assistance Project and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have seen huge spikes in unsolicited donations. Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman, called it \u201ca very good sign. Making a donation is the ultimate sign of solidarity. Actions speak louder than words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Republican senators, Arizona’s John McCain<\/a><\/span><\/span> and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham<\/a><\/span><\/span> are leading a small band of Republicans in saying that Mr. Trump\u2019s order was not properly vetted and that it could be seen as the United States turning its back on Muslims who had risked their lives to serve as interpreters for the country\u2019s military and diplomats.<\/p>\n

Many Republicans are staying silent despite the fact that they squealed like big tires on hot asphalt when President Obama signed executive orders on matters of far less importance. Then again, they also said nothing when Trump’s campaign promised to advance a \u201cwhite nationalist agenda and demonized blacks in the ‘inner city’, Mexicans at the border or Muslims from the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

The people are ticked off at the gutlessness of Republicans and Democrats alike in speaking out against Trump’s insanity. There was a move toward bipartisanship due to Republicans blocking Barack Obama’s every move, but that ideal has been set aside given Trump\u2019s erratic, hard-right conduct. The protesters want the Democratic opposition to oppose rather than co-operate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The day after his inauguration, President Trump placed a call to the acting head of the National Park Service, Michael Reynolds, reportedly to complain about the agency posting side-by-side photos that unfavorably compared the crowd sizes at his and former President Obama’s inaugurations.<\/p>\n

To punish them they were forced into a media blackout, hiring freeze, policy changes, and possible reduction in funding. But as a spokesperson said, \u201cWe are here to stand up and speak out against the current administration. We all refuse to be silenced while we watch everything we love crumble.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Muslim ban has cast a pall of uncertainty over education and business; tech companies with professionals and customers who could be affected by the ban swiftly denounced the policy, including Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Yelp, Tesla and airbnb. Many large corporations are pussy-footing while those with significant operations \u2013 such as oil giants \u2013 in the Middle East had nothing to say.<\/p>\n

Melissa Arnoff, chair of corporate communication at Levick Strategic Communications said, \u201cIf you look at a lot of the statements, people are criticizing the policy without criticizing the president. It\u2019s a fine line, but they\u2019re trying to not blatantly say he\u2019s a horrible person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others see the need for companies to speak up and speak out. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing for our president to be tone deaf, but our corporate leaders can\u2019t do the same,” said Aaron Kwittken, CEO of Kwittken, a New York-based corporate brand reputation agency. \u201cI don\u2019t think companies can stay silent. I think you\u2019re actually going to see true leaders and leadership emerge from corporate America, because their mettle is being tested like never before,\u201d he said. And the the ban could undermine American innovation\/business because a full 25 per cent of science and engineering companies have at least one immigrant founder.<\/p>\n

Given that Canada is being lauded worldwide and in the U.S. for its inclusiveness as never before, our Prime Minister needs to take a definitive stance. Either we are the open, generous, compassionate people that others think we are…or we are not. At a minimum we need to take in the almost 2,800 innocent Syrian refugees that have been stuck in limbo due to Trump’s order.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU said, \u201cIt’s really clear that this is a different type of moment. People want to know what they can do. They want to be deployed as protagonists in this fight. This is not a spectator sport.”<\/p>\n
