the answer is the same one you have been giving us for years: yes. Please consider holding online/televised fireside chats each week. You, HCR and Jim Acosta could inform and guide the vast majority of Americans to take our country back - without violence!

In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.

No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:

We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
