When Donald Trump was elected, Sarah Herron couldn’t take it any more. Although she voted Republican for most of her life, Sarah became an activist in her East Tennessee community fighting Trump’s agenda. Even though her husband still supports him. Sarah offers a lesson on how networks like Indivisible are helping ordinary Americans make an extraordinary difference in politics.

How to become an activist: Sarah Herron from Indivisible East Tennessee

Each week, State of Resistance features a frank conversation with a leader in the resistance. Whether it’s a national activist or someone toiling away at the grassroots out of the spotlight, we’ll talk about the issues — from DACA to climate change to labor issues to criminal justice reform — with a focus on what real people can do to get more involved and help make change at their own level, in their own communities. We’ll talk about the emotional toll of activism, especially as so many folks are seeing the things they worked their whole lives for swiftly rolled back.
