Five days after Donald Trump’s inauguration, seven Greenpeace activists climbed a crane and unfurled a massive banner emblazoned with the word “RESIST” in full view of the White House. That brave action sparked newfound audacity in the environmental movement.And that wordbecame our new rallying cry.

We will resist when Trump and his cronies continuously deny the scientific reality of anthropogenic climate change and fail to take action to stop it. When the EPA begins to value profits over people and land. And when Congress tries to gut the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Antiquities Act and a host of other environmental laws.

And we will resist right here in Butler County when the frackers try to pollute our air and water, destroy our landscape and put people in harm’s way.

I hope Trump likes a good fight, because he’s in for a long one. The environmental movement is here, we are angry, we are getting stronger, and we are not backing down. We won’t stop fighting until we win.
