Greenpeace activists deploy a banner on a construction crane near the White House reading "RESIST" on President Trump's fifth day in office. The activists are calling for those who want to resist Trump's attacks on environmental, social, economic and educational justice to rise up for a better United States of America.[/caption]
There is no better time to act for our climate and communities than right now.
Our democracy is under attack. In the coming hours, days, months, and years, we will all need to act on our values. So today, that's what I'm doing. As I write this, I'm about to join six other Greenpeace activists to hang a massive, hand-painted banner of resistance where Trump and his climate-denying administration can't ignore it.

We believe in the public’s right to know about what’s happening to our planet. Our investigations expose environmental crimes and the people, companies and governments that need to be held responsible.
Each one of us can make small changes in our lives, but together we can change the world. Greenpeace connects people from all over the globe. We bring together diverse perspectives, and help communities and individuals to come together.
We have the courage to take action and stand up for our beliefs. We work together to stop the destruction of the environment using peaceful direct action and creative communication. We don’t just identify problems, we create solutions.
Greenpeace has been using nonviolence to resist tyrannical bullies since 1971, and we're not going to stop now.
Visit Greenpeace Fund, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable entity created to increase public awareness and understanding of environmental issues through research, the media and educational programs.
The climate can't wait! Defend people and the planet against attacks on climate progress with a gift to Greenpeace.
