Summary
If we want to have a chance of saving our Democracy, the resistance has to start right now. Svante Myrick joins Thom Hartmann to discuss People For the American Way's new campaign Resist Project 2025. Democrats must recognize how the winds have changed in America, do the work, spread the word, and let America know what they stand for. If they do, it could be a new day for this country.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Tom Hartman program. |
| 0:15.8 | So when does the resistance start? |
| 0:18.3 | And what does it look like? |
| 0:20.6 | People for the American Way has announced a new campaign, resist project 2025, and Savante Myrick, who is the president of People for the American Way, PFAW.org. |
| 0:31.7 | Former mayor of Ithaca, New York, by the way, youngest mayor in that city's history of 24 years old, is on the line with us. Savante, welcome back |
| 0:38.7 | to the program. Tell us, when does the resistance start and what does it look like? |
| 0:43.7 | Hi, Tom, good afternoon. Thanks for having me on. It is so good to be able to do something |
| 0:49.6 | instead of just feeling big feelings, as we say now, to the toddlers in our lives. |
| 0:54.9 | For me, the resistance started around 11.30 p.m. Tuesday night when it was clear that Donald |
| 1:00.6 | Trump was going to be re-elected president of the United States. I think he legitimately won the |
| 1:06.6 | election, and I think that that was a mistake. I think he is a very dangerous person. I think |
| 1:13.6 | he's backed by some even more dangerous people, starting with J.D. Vance, Elon Musk and the Heritage |

| 1:34.2 | Just didn't sleep all night. So we created a website. We created a campaign. We began the beginnings of a place for people who agreed with us to come and join together. |
| 1:45.0 | And by the next morning, it was live. |
| 1:47.0 | It was Resist 2025.org, where we just want to make a home for, you know, already hundreds. |
| 1:54.0 | It's now thousands of people at this point have signed up to say specifically, |
| 1:58.0 | okay, Donald Trump's going to get sworn in. |
| 1:59.0 | We're not calling for an insurrection. But what we do feel we have a right to stop and resist is Project 2025. |
| 2:07.1 | Trump is going to claim he has a mandate to lead because he won the vote. Well, he won the |
| 2:12.4 | vote by disavowing Project 2025. He swore up and down. He had nothing to do with it. He'd never read it. |
