Collection: Resistance

The Resistance web archive is a thematic collection, created by Columbia University Libraries, of websites documenting and embodying grass roots political resistance activities in the United States arising in the wake of the election and inauguration of Donald Trump. Includes selected web resources focused on: protest/demonstration planning; calls to action and guidelines for political participation by citizens; official statements in response to controversial executive orders; and campaigns to contain and mitigate the effects of specific dramatic policy shifts. Archiving of selected websites began in April 2017, wtih periodic re-crawls of those websites that continue to be updated, and new websites added to the collection as they are identified.
