Harvard Students Form ‘Dumbledore’s Army’ To Resist Trump
Students of the Harvard Kennedy School have formed a “Resistance School” to train people to fight against the Trump agenda.
A group of Harvard students have joined the #Resistance movement against Trump’s radical agenda. The Boston Globe reports that students at the Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government have launched a “Resistance School’ to train people to fight the Trump agenda.
The students will offer a free four-week online course “that will sharpen the tools we need to fight back at the federal, state, and local levels.” according to the Boston Globe.
“Our goal is to keep the embers of resistance alive through concrete learning, community engagement, and forward-looking action.”
The Boston Globe quoted one student as saying, “We just came together as a group of friends who care about something in common. And it just turned into this thing.”
“On November 8, we lost more than just the presidency,” the group said on their website. “We lost yet more ground in the decades-long campaign against progressive values.”
“Republicans now control the Senate, House, and more state legislatures than they have in almost 200 years. Those losses have emboldened the right to launch an all-out attack against our nation’s creed – that all are created equal.”
“The project’s creators are even likening themselves to “Dumbledore’s Army,” the collection of students in the Harry Potter novels who quietly worked together to learn how to fight dark magic,” the Boston Globe reported.
