Good lord! Do you know what you all did on April 5? Tens and tens of thousands of us in the streets in every major city across the nation. Check this out — these are the scenes in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, in NYC and LA and Boston, in Philly and Chicago and Seattle, in Lansing, Michigan and Houston, Texas and Palm Beach, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina, and in Washington, D.C. ... This is America.
And that’s just a teeny tiny taste of what happened EVERYWHERE yesterday. There were thousands in Detroit and Buffalo and Cleveland and Dallas and Austin and Tulsa and St. Louis and Milwaukee and beyond. And it wasn’t just the metropolitan areas — all day I was getting photos and emails and texts from all over the country… over a thousand in Traverse City. Massive crowds in Cincinnati and Pasadena and Lexington and Missoula and Des Moines and… you get the picture because YOU were there in each of these places and far beyond. People in over 2,000 cities and towns and villages all across this country took part. And THIS is just the beginning. We are only just getting started.
You are not alone. We are not alone. There are more of us than there are of them. Build your communities. Find your people. Organize, Organize, Organize. And fight back. In little ways and big ways. This is the French Resistance. This is up to us.
Yours, Michael Moore, Filmmaker and Citizen
