Women Are Leading The Resistance Against Trump
We are less than two weeks into Donald J. Trump’s presidency, and he has already made good on some of his darkest campaign promises. President Trump has signed executive orders advancing an anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, anti-Muslim, anti-Mexican, anti-science, anti-woman agenda ― and it’s women who have been among the most visible figures at the forefront of resisting that agenda.
On Monday night, acting Attorney General Sally Yates did what so many (male) figures in the U.S. government have been unwilling to do: push back on a potentially unconstitutional executive order. She was quickly relieved of her duties, but her actions made a powerful statement, hopefully paving the way for more acts of resistance at the federal level.
Here’s a quick rundown of nine of the women who have dedicated their time, power and political capital to upholding the democratic principles on which the United States was founded ― even under Trump:
Former Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates
U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs and Magistrate Judge Judith Dein
Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Bob Bland and Carmen Perez
