The noise, the spin, the constant chaos, it’s exhausting by design.
They want you to shut down. To give up.
To think your voice doesn’t matter. But silence is acquiescence. And acquiescence is just more fuel for the fire.
It’s not left. It’s not right. What's happening today isNOT OK
You don’t need to be political to feel it.
You just have to be paying attention.
The Core Idea
NOT OK is a powerful statement, a unifying cry that goes beyond left and right and transcends politics.
It’s a simple acknowledgment that we all risk losing the norms, values and freedoms that we cherish most. These two words mean exactly what they say – NOT OK – that none of this is ok. They are the simplest, loudest way to break the silence, counter the daily barrage of indecencies, and provide a forceful reminder that the resistance is strong, it’s large and it's not going anywhere.
This is NOT OK!
Encouraging violence against those who question your authority.
The celebration of cruelty.
Filling critical government jobs with unqualified loyalists rather than experts.
Screening government employees for loyalty to a man rather than the constitution.
Using the immense power of the government to reward friends and punish political opponents.
The calculated mendacity.
Firing prosecutors for doing their jobs.
Treating the enforcement of duly enacted statutes as optional.
Suing media firms for unfavorable stories and then using the full force of the government to extort financial settlements for your personal gain.
Treating the justice department as your personal law firm.
Silence is not neutral. It’s complicity. We’re done explaining. We’re here to say what so few in power will. This is NOT OK.
Say it now. Wear it proud. Spread the word. NOT OK
