“When we look at the demographics of Resistance 2.0 there is overwhelming consistency,” writes Dana R Fisher, who studies civic engagement at American University. “Participants are predominantly white, highly-educated, female, and middle-aged.” During Trump’s first term, things were similar: Laura Putnam and Theda Skocpol reported that women comprised “70% of the participants and most members of the leadership teams”. ... Underscoring all of these is a quiet belief held by some men – especially white men – that however bad things may get – and have already gotten – in the United States, however much everything from the Dobbs decision overturning abortion to ICE violence may make for a crueler, uglier country, they will personally remain OK. Too many have a metaphorical sign up in their cubicles that reads “Your Emergency Is Not My Crisis.”
And it is a vicious cycle: the more women and non-binary people do the overwhelming majority of resistance work, the more men take in the wrong-headed message that this work is not for them. |

Date: May 11th, 2026 1:04 PM Author: mike koniker What’s giving me hope now Last Friday, our group hosted a May Day picnic in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park that eventually transformed into an evening Shabbat dinner. More than 100 people came by over the course of the day, including 25 new members who joined our email list after the event. Sharing challah and frittatas and chocolate chip cookies on a balmy evening with old friends and new ones, grizzled organizing veterans and fresh-faced newcomers, was just the uplift I needed. As strangers, we are doomed. Building community is how we will keep democracy alive.
