California Proposes Five-Point Plan to Tackle Homelessness, Poverty

As President Trump's second term begins, a renewed wave of resistance is emerging across the United States, differing from the mass protests seen in 2017. Research indicates that protests are now more frequent, with over 2,085 recorded in February 2025 alone, addressing issues such as federal workers' rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and opposition to Trump's policies. This evolution in resistance includes not only street protests but also a strategic shift towards economic noncooperation, reminiscent of historical movements like Solidarity in Poland. Californians, faced with significant challenges like homelessness, are encouraged to create a responsive government as a counter to perceived inefficacy in the current political climate. This grassroots activism reflects a diverse range of concerns and highlights a collective desire for impactful change. The resistance, while not as visually prominent as in previous years, remains vibrant and multifaceted, indicating a strong undercurrent of opposition to the current administration's agenda.
