GOP mouthpiece Suzanne Downing is accusing Fairbanks protesters of being a"tour group".

5 ways to #Resist and #Recover:
1) meet up with friends at a protest. Go have a beverage afterwards.
2) do something that makes an immediate difference. Support people you know, share information to those who can promote it (FWS, DM me!), postcards.
