Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.

IT MUST STOP NOW

Every day of acquiescence makes an end to fascism more costly in lost freedom and LIVES.

It’s happening here.

It’s going to be citizens next. These camps aren’t temporary.

Soon it will be more organized and with intent. First they came for the immigrants(and anyone watching). Which of us are they coming for next?

About this event

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.

That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.

Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump.

Session 1: The Moment & Your Mission - July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action.

Session 2: How to Make it Happen - July 30 Learn not just our strategy, but how you can lead a discussion with others and get them on board with taking action in your community. You'll host your first community resistance gathering after this session, before our next session.

Session 3: What Now? - August 13 You'll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward.

Sign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

I went to my art supply store and decided to make a brand new template of foam core since the one I've used for 31 protests is getting dog-eared. My art looks like a tRump sign museum. Actually, two of my signs are in the Women's March museum in San Diego. They especially liked the wire hanger and the Joan Crawford reference for the pro-choice march.

I hope there is a huge turnout since it is on a Thursday evening. That could benefit some who normally can't attend weekend mass protests but it may also keep many from attending. We'll see.

I never listen to news reports' estimation of numbers. A few other people like me know how the number of events and the number of how many attended those events is always grossly underestimated.

No surprise there.....both parties control the media and that is one of the main problems for over 20 years. The corporate donors in both parties have given us team tRump. Our votes are useless as long as they continue to get more and more $$$$$ and power.
