Isn't It Time YOU Got Involved?
Resist & Rebuild
Rome wasn’t built in a day. And Trumpdom will not be dismantled in a day either. But one thing we can do today — starting right now — is to begin the quest to restore order and dignity to our government. The first step is to inform and protest, let everyone know about the everyday implications of what’s happening. There will be many events to make your resistance known over the next year. We urge you to participate as much as you can. It’s important. We are not living in normal times and we have to acknowledge that. Please watch the video below:

JUNE 14 – NATIONAL DAY OF DEFIANCE
June 14 – National Day of Defiance: A motivated and activated citizenry is the only way to get the attention of elected officials. That is why June 14 – The No Kings National Day of Defiance – is so important!
On that day, when Donald Trump is throwing himself a $45 million military parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, we need to throw a national parade of voters in every state across this great country. Be a part of it.

CALL A REPUBLICAN
Seriously, the GOP controls Congress (barely), and any defections will slow the MAGA March. If you have friends or colleagues in Republicans districts, ask them to urge their representatives to stop letting Trump run roughshod over their Constitutional duty to write the laws in this country.

Are you concerned about higher education is being intimidated into submission? Contact your Alma Mater and tell them to resist the Republicans’ threats and attempts at manipulation. Write your college or university president. Here’s a sample letter:
My name is________class of ____. I’m writing because I know that higher education is under attack by the current administration. It’s crucial that you take steps now to work with other higher education leaders and speak out strongly against the authoritarian tactics of the Trump administration. Please be on the right side of history, not the wrong one. Thank you for doing your part to protect our freedom
