Daily Yopp! 2.15.17 - Protect Protestors, Protect our Rights

From Weekly Actions to Resist Trump. They like to also include a recommended donation, so feel free to use that as your Yopp! instead. Everything helps.
This Week's Action: #ProtectProtesters, Protect Our RightsFrom Ferguson to Standing Rock to our airports, Americans are fighting injustice by exercising our fundamental right to protest. Trump’s allies are responding with a wave of bills aimed at silencing us. It’s an attack on our constitutional values. It’s dangerous. And it’s scary as hell with a president who has demonized and encouraged violence against protesters. So we’re demanding our governors publicly commit to vetoing any legislation that threatens protesters and our rights. 
This Week's Donation: Stand With Native American Protest OrganizersThe Indigenous Environmental Network is a grassroots organization formed and led by Native Americans to fight for environmental and economic justice. They’ve played a leading role at Standing Rock in resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline. These attempts to scare off protest movements are most dangerous for the People of Color on the frontlines, making it all the more important we have their backs. Donate here.
Yours in Solidarity!
