COURAGE is CONTAGIOUS! SPREAD IT!

“The willingness of thousands of Americans to speak out and show up should encourage fellow Americans to protest these efforts to divide and conquer law firms, universities, and other aspects of civil society. To sustain that movement, every individual can join, support, or initiate some type of peaceful protest. Ordinary people can also use their purchasing power (and choice of university) to make value-based decisions.

If democracy advocates can change the incentive structure, perhaps we will see fewer examples of the kind of cowardice displayed by Paul Weiss-type law firms and Columbia University-style universities. That means those who have relationships (e.g., clients, employees, associations) and the public at large can use carrots and sticks to influence craven and fearful institutions. If that occurs, then we might stand a fighting chance against the forces of authoritarianism.” #resist #resistance #uspol #uspolitics
