Group forms to 'Resist Trump' in Tallahassee

A new #ResistTrump group is drawing a sizable crowd in Tallahassee.

Organizers of Resist Trump Tallahassee were expecting only a few dozen people when they met for the first time last month at the LeRoy Collins Public Library. But 138 people showed up. And that was before Donald Trump was even sworn in as the 45th president.

The group held its first meeting Jan. 15 as part of a national day of action sponsored by groups including Moveon.org. It has since become its own grassroots organization, said Cheryl Gratt, a real estate agent who's organizing the effort with retired librarian Marianne Ryan.

"What we are trying to do is basically stop any initiative that Trump is doing — which is just about everything — that is detrimental to our country,” Gratt said.
