Letter to the editor:

Resistance is necessary

Wed, Jul 18, 2018 (2 a.m.)

Over 1,000 people lined the side walks of Las Vegas to protest a gathering of men tied to the destruction of our Constitution and bent on our state’s purple undoing.

President Donald Trump, Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt and Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., represent the foreboding trinity of this nation’s demise across every battleground state in America.

We are a nation in crisis. As we witness the destruction of our human rights and civil liberties, more and more Americans are taking to the streets and challenging elected officials on both sides of the aisle.

It is important that Americans not find the rise of such men a surprise but rather ask ourselves if we will allow history to repeat itself. It is vital that this new surge of tyranny understands that we outnumber their agenda. We are a people guided by freedom, and as long as we have the freedom to act, we will fight to save the soul of this nation.

The writer is state coordinator for the Nevada chapter of Women’s March on Washington.
