“A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.” - John Kelly, Trump’s second chief of staff

☀️ The Resistance Network of Arizona is a grassroots coalition committed to building a more just, inclusive and liberated future. We organize around community outreach, mutual aid and direct action to raise public awareness and hold politicians accountable. We are a proud chapter of Indivisible.
