A few months ago I discussed the chaos of the Trump administration and our need to "protest strategically". This morning I am thrilled to share My Second Cup of Coffee with Matt Mikalatos, an author, screenwriter and, most recently, a strategic protester of the Trump administration's immigration policies. I invite you to grab a cup of your favorite morning beverage and join us.

Yá'át'ééh my relatives. Social media is exhausting, public spaces are tense, global relationships are strained and government workspaces are toxic. Barely 4 weeks into his second term and Trump is already wearing out his welcome, not only from his opponents but even his supporters. I invite you to join me for My Second Cup of Coffee and a discussion about the need to protest strategically. Walk in Beauty my relatives.
