Resist & Rising Together Weekly: Good News and Progress from the Resistance
Each week, Resist & Rising Together Weekly by People Power United shares stories of courage, creativity, and collective power from people pushing back against fascism and building a better future. While authoritarians try to divide and silence us, we rise—community by community, action by action—to defend democracy, demand justice, and celebrate progress. From victories in the courts and wins for workers to breakthroughs in climate action and moments of solidarity, this movement reminds the world that power in America belongs to the people, not to kings, billionaires, or authoritarians.
Because resistance isn’t just about fighting back—it’s about moving forward. Together, we are writing the story of progress, one act of people power at a time.
Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and courage of the American people—those rising together to reject tyranny and defend our democracy.
✊ Rallies & Protests Highlights
In lieu of our Good News from the Resistance summaries this week, we are sharing something even bigger: proof that people power is alive all across this country.
On March 28, more than 8 million people joined No Kings protests at more than 3,300 events nationwide, which organizers described as the largest single day of protest in U.S. history. That is not just a headline. That is hope in motion. It is millions of people refusing to give in to fear, refusing to accept cruelty as normal, and refusing to stay silent while politicians put war and power ahead of people’s lives.
The message rising from those streets was clear. Americans are tired of a government that can always find money for war, but never enough to keep families healthy, housed, and secure. One protester told the Guardian, “We need healthcare, we need jobs.” That demand feels even more urgent as Axios reports that House Republicans are considering further cuts to federal health spending to help finance a budget bill that could include as much as $200 billion for the Iran war and immigration enforcement. Senator Elizabeth Warren put it plainly: “Republicans in Congress want to cut Americans’ health care to pay for more war in Iran. Let that sink in.”
But here is the good news from the resistance: the people see the truth, and they are rising together. Millions are making clear that healthcare for all is cheaper than war, wiser than war, and more humane than war. Care keeps people alive, treated, working, and secure. War drives up prices, strips away stability, and leaves ordinary people with the bill. So when millions take to the streets to demand a different future, that is not just protest. That is a reminder that our values are still alive, our voices are still powerful, and the movement for a country that invests in people instead of destruction is growing stronger every day.

But the FBI, department of Justice and the so called Attorney General still have done nothing about the Trumpstein File. This is the most corrupted Administration in American History.
