Now, a group of 'progressive' students at the prestigious Harvard University have come up with a four-week course in anti-Trump activism. The course invites applicants from people across the country and world, said a CNN report.
Also, it is free!
Formed by the university's Kennedy School of Government, Resistance School will "impart skills to take collective action and effectively resist the Trump aganda."
The Resistance School, on its official page, says that their goal is to keep the embers of resistance alive through concrete learning, community engagement, and forward-looking action.
"Like so many Americans, the election moved us – a group of progressive graduate students at Harvard – to ask ourselves: How can we most effectively fight Trump’s agenda?" said a statement on the page on germination of idea.

The course comprises four in-person and live-streamed sessions, which will be held through the month of April. The topics for the sessions deal with how to communicate values in political advocacy, mobilise and organise communities, structure and build capacity for action and sustain resistance.
Among the speakers for the course are cultural historian Timothy Patrick McCarthy and Sara El-Amine, executive director of former United States President Barack Obama’s advocacy arm Organising For Action.
