Synopsis:

A collection of timely and essential essays by leading progressives on standing up for your values in Trump's America.

The election of Donald Trump to be the 45th President of the United States of America shocked and dismayed progressives across the country. What We Do Now, a collection of passionate manifestos by some of the country's leading progressives, aims to provide a blueprint for how those stunned progressives can move forward. Its powerful contributions - from economists, environmentalists, activists, artists, politicians, and novelists - will offer encouragement and guidance to practicing constitutionally protected acts of resistance throughout the unprecedented upcoming administration.
