For Those Who Resist

For those who plan and strategize,
For those who gather at a moment's notice,
For those who serve as witnesses,
For those who are civil and disobedient,
For those who speak up at local meetings,
For those who wear pink hats with millions,
For those who  contribute in bursts,
For those who  make it their life's work,
For those who make trouble from home,
For those who march in large numbers,

For those who create new rituals,
For those who  refuse to budge,

For those that flee when necessary,
For those who organize votes,
For those who hearts may be breaking,
For those whose anger overwhelms,
For those who gather with friends and allies,
For those who stand alone,
For all those who resist,

We give thanks. 

Amen
