Good News and Progress from the Resistance
Friends, Happy New Year! My apologies for a hiccup in yesterday’s piece—the video didn’t attach as intended, so I’m sharing it with you today.
If you’re a regular here, you know we share a weekly roundup of good news from the resistance. Today, we’re highlighting some of the wins from 2025. While there was no shortage of tough news, there’s also plenty to celebrate as we head into 2026.
While authoritarians try to divide and silence us, we rise—community by community, action by action—to defend democracy, demand justice, and celebrate progress. From victories in the courts and wins for workers to breakthroughs in climate action and moments of solidarity, this movement reminds the world that power in America belongs to the people, not to kings, billionaires, or authoritarians.
Because resistance isn’t just about fighting back—it’s about moving forward. Together, we are writing the story of progress, one act of people power at a time.
I hope you enjoy our video and thanks for being here and supporting our efforts to bring good news from the Resistance!
A friendly reminder — we’re a community that believes in the power of change and puts in the work to make it happen. It might not seem like much to spend five minutes signing a petition, writing a letter, or making a call, but when we act together, those small efforts add up. That’s how we hold our leaders accountable to the will of the people.
