Though the Trump administration’s fascism is unprecedented in the modern-day United States, there are still lessons to be learned from earlier resistance movements. In a recent op-ed for YES! Media, seasoned activist and journalist Arun Gupta identified 10 organizing principles for defeating Trumpism. Drawing from his background in multiple movements, including Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter, Gupta shares several organizing principles to help activists better navigate growing authoritarianism in the U.S. 

Gupta has written for The Washington Post, The Nation, The Daily Beast, Raw Story, The Guardian, and other publications. He is also helming Apocalypse Chow, a new bi-monthly column for YES! Gupta spoke with YES! Senior Editor Sonali Kolhatkar on YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali about how we can use his proposed principles to effectively organize against Trumpism.
