Resist Harm is a movement. Our website provides tools to fuel your efforts to resist the evils and injustice of the Traditional Plan. Use these resources as they are, or feel free to contextualize them for your community.

A movement is a group of people working together toward a common goal. Our movement is focused on resisting the anti-LGBTQ Traditional Plan. Our goal is to resist and repeal the blatant discriminatory harm targeted at our LGBTQ siblings and allies by leveraging our collective power beyond small-group organizing to build and sustain change.

In this movement, we are united by our common interest in rejecting and resisting the Traditional Plan and the harm it enacts on LGBTQ persons in The United Methodist Church. Resist Harm is not the only group resisting the Traditional Plan, and we welcome other efforts by people or groups to fight this harmful legislation. As we work together, we create a cycle of generating and building interest, heightening participation, and sustaining long-term growth in the movement to reject and resist the Traditional Plan.

Our collective voice is more powerful than any of ours alone. Thus, we invite and encourage you to use the unifying symbols of Resist Harm.
