The Issue is Not Trump, It is Us
January 17, 2017
On the day President Trump is inaugurated, thousands
of writers in the United States will express their indignation. “In order
for us to heal and move forward …,” say Writers Resist, “we wish to bypass
direct political discourse, in favour of an inspired focus on the future, and
how we, as writers, can be a unifying force for the protection of democracy.”
And: “We urge local organizers and speakers to
avoid using the names of politicians or adopting ‘anti’ language as the focus
for their Writers Resist event. It’s important to ensure that nonprofit
organizations, which are prohibited from political campaigning, will feel
confident participating in and sponsoring these events.”
Thus, real protest is to be avoided, for it is not
tax exempt.
