100 Days of Creative Resistance
100 Days of Creative Resistance delivers a free email of encouragement, opposition, and commiseration — a reminder of why we write and create — from 100 iconoclastic contemporary voices on each of the first 100 days of the 47th president’s regime. The program begins January 20th, 2025, Inauguration Day. As the emails post, they are archived here.
Enroll here to sign up to receive the emails as they’re released, and also learn about community zooms and other 100 Days related events. To read a short message from the project curator, Co-Lab co-director Brian Gresko, click here.
