#ResistMarch founder Brian Pendleton turned the annual West Hollywood Pride Parade into a call for action. U.S. Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff, West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman, Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah and celebrities Jussie Smollett (Empire), Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story) and RuPaul were among the speakers who stated again and again: This is not normal. Don't let this feel normal. Resist. Insist. Persist. Vote. Personal Rights in Defense and Education is PRIDE.
