NO KINGS!
NO TYRANTS!
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT!
Inspired by Backbone Campaign, we will be doing some bannering and an art party in preparation. If you can't hold a banner, come to the art party for company or help us cutout some letters. TBD
Freedom, peace, and prosperity belong to all of us. We will not be divided. We will not be silenced.
We reject fear and hate. We stand together, turning our differences and talents into strength.
Each of us has power. Through skill, creativity, and connection, we will make positive change. The time to act is now.
We need all hands on deck! During past conflicts, each person contributed to the effort in the way they could. Some darned socks, worked in factories, invented recipes and some went overseas. Every bit counts, and you have the power to make change. What skills/abilities/talents do you have? How can you apply them?
Call members of Congress and let them know you need them to act. Thanking them when they do helps too! Keep calling. Call news stations to cover your public action. It works
Painters, Musicians, Dancers, Actors, Filmmakers : all of your skills can be used to spread the message, raise visibility and boost morale. If you don't create then attend the event, share a meme, wear a shirt. It works
Write postcards or letters to members of Congress. The pressure needs to be abundant and consistent. Blog about your experiences, research and write about current events. Share ideas using writing, It works.
You have the power of the purse, use it to boycott or donate to specific organizations, or to withhold your labor by participating in a general strike. There are resources below, It works
These are strange times, connecting to your community is imperative. Whether it is to share the message of resistance or to take a break from the chaos. We need each other. It works.
Harvard Political Scientist Erica Chenoweth has been researching what works when people take back control of their governments from authoritarian rule. Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. If the politicians won't stop him, then we stop our labor and shut it down. Sign a strike card on the General Strike website.

USA.gov has tools where you can find the names, addresses and phone numbers of elected officials. Use this to send postcards or leave voice messages with your opinions and on how you want them to vote on important issues. Though your local congress person is the one you would contact for your pro/con concerns to be counted, we have free will to speak to those whose choices are directly impacting our lives, regardless of the district they represent on paper. Any concerned citizen will need to have an address in the district the congress person represents to have their pro/con vote be counted.
The Election Denialism conspiracy theories by the Republicans in 2020 have stigmatized questioning voting results. However, after 2024's many voting day interruptions in the swing state of PA, and strange Trump/Musk comments, a group of statisticians and data analysts began reviewing November's voting machine data. Their findings show anomalies. They would like to review the paper ballots in some states to compare the data. Whether or not there was interference will not overturn the results, the clock has run out on that. However, it is not too late for a hand audit. If the paper ballots match the data, that's great! We know the system is secure. If they don't match, it is extremely important to know where and how an inconsistency would have occurred so we can make sure future elections are free and fair. There seems to be no harm in a hand audit as long as there is opportunity for independent review of any findings. Faith in the election process is a high priority. Learn more and sign the petition for a hand audit below. Also see their video compilations and data on their YouTube site.
Mobilize has listings for getting/staying involved and is a great way to find, or list your own, local events, protests, meetings (in person and virtual), volunteers, petitions, etc
PublicSquare. com is a website where conservatives can find local pro-Trump businesses on a map. Let's use this handy tool to boycott those local businesses who signed up to support this fascist regime. **Consider digital hygiene like rejecting cookies or not letting the site track your location
The People's Union USA has successfully coordinated economic blackouts that have had an impact on big business who are supporting, or acquiescing to, this regime. The blackouts work as long as we stay united and consistent, This small act really does make a difference. Find out about the current and upcoming boycotts on their website
MAY 4, 2025: We had a successful rally at Chicago's Federal Plaza and march down Michigan Ave, past Trump Tower. The costumes and signs were creative and the energy was great. We received a lot of community support on the march. A special thanks to Sebby for the music & equipment and everyone else who participated and contributed to the event.
