On Saturday, Americans took to the streets to peacefully protest Trump’s illegal power grabs, his creeping authoritarianism, and the Oval Office’s growing threat of fascism.
In Seattle alone, more than 70,000 people showed up to protest! It was a beautiful sight to witness. Marching in the streets, the message was clear: We’re a democracy, not a monarchy.
Across the country, tens of thousands more marched, rallied, and made their voices heard.
Trump really thought this weekend would be all about him. He thought we’d be out here celebrating his birthday, singing his praises, and revering him like some kind of king.
Sorry, Donald. That’s not how our country works.
We don’t bend the knee to would-be tyrants. We don’t let billionaires and their hand-picked Supreme Court justices rewrite the Constitution to consolidate power for themselves. We fight back.
But if we’re going to stop Trump and his MAGA cronies from dismantling our democracy piece by piece, we need to build the kind of people-powered movement that can meet this moment. We can’t afford to leave our energy on routes we walked this weekend.
That means organizing now. Not next year. Not when it’s too late. Right now.
Democracy won’t defend itself. But together, we will.
