Introducing Heads Up News
Who’s fighting back and how?
In these dark times, you want to know who’s resisting the Trump agenda and what they’re doing. You want some reason for hope.
You want to know who’s making a difference -- to cheer them on and maybe even help them out.
The corporate media isn’t telling you.
Every Wednesday, Heads Up News gives you a heads-up on the week’s most consequential acts of resistance, along with profiles of people making a difference, and other news from greater “fighting-back” community.
Heads Up news is also for you if you don’t want to have to read about every single horrible thing Trump says or does, ad nauseum, but you don’t want to be underinformed, either. It will provide a heads-up on his most consequential acts – in the context of what’s being done to push back.
Heads Up News will take a good hard look at the pro-democracy and good-government community, and will tell you which leaders and organizations are fighting back effectively – and which are not.
And Heads Up News will, I hope, give its readers a reason to hold their heads up during a tough time.
Heads Up News will be subscriber-funded, but never behind a paywall. Please subscribe now, and tell a friend!
