On this edition of Your Call, activists discuss the most effective ways to resist the Trump administration's extreme agenda.
On May 1, 250,000 people took part in protests and rallies in nearly 1,000 cities and towns across the country to stand up to the Trump administration and demand a country that works for families instead of billionaires’ fortunes. These protests came shortly after Trump marked his 100 days in office. His approval rating is at 40 percent, the lowest of any president at this time in the past 80 years.
How are activists preparing for the many fights to come?
