Ready for January 20?

by J J Cohen

I am sharing here my weekly WATCH (Writers Artists Thinkers Challenge Hate) digest of posts because with the inauguration approaching these resources may be of wide use. You know how we five ITM bloggers feel about what happened on November 11, and (as Jonathan made clear yesterday) we are not relenting in the days ahead. See you at the protests and the march?

Hello everyone,

Here is your weekly digest of WATCH posts. It's Inauguration Week! If you are coming to DC, perhaps I will see you at the inauguration protests or the Women's March on Washington. Here are four lists to get you started for DC as well as national actions:

Mindy Fischer

Mother Jones

The Guardian

WashPo

Here are some important posts from WATCH from the past week:
Poetry readings against Trump (wouldn't it be great if poets were to become political forces again as a result of the election?)

Jonathan Hsy on what Classicists are doing and medievalists might as well.

See Something, Leak Something for federal employees.

Celebrating MLK day (via Asa Mittman).

Some words of inspiration from our current president.

A Wall of US (distributes actionable resistance emails) via Dorothy Kim.

A volunteer-sourced guide for resisting the Trump agenda with practical information on how to challenge congress and your other elected officials, plus links to local resources.

What have I missed? Please let me know in the comments.

yours in solidarity and hope,

Jeffrey
