Overview

"But here is the thing with listening. At some point, it is not enough. The silence of the attentive, after all, sounds exactly the same as the silence of the complicit. Even the listener can be fooled into thinking they are doing something when they are just biding timing, hoping it gets better before they are forced to step forward. The question, then, becomes when to act; at what point is it appropriate to stop listening and actually say something?" ~ from the Afterword.Seattle has long been considered a center of progressive thought and action. And while that is mostly true, like any growing city it has wrestled with familiar demons: racism, class struggle, economic opportunism, sexism, and more.But since the day that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, the city has emerged as a staging ground for the resistance against his administration and the Republican-ruled legislative branch of government.Amid such turbulent times, we must not let this become the new status quo. We must question, criticize, and challenge the socio-political structures in place, seek out solutions and changes that represent all Americans, not just a privileged and wealthy few. The diverse voices of the writers, activists, & journalists in FLY TO THE ASSEMBLIES! explore the redoubled challenges facing citizens today.
