Resist & Rising Together Weekly: Good News and Progress from the Resistance
Each week, Resist & Rising Together Weekly by People Power United delivers 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, weāre risingācommunity by community, action by actionāto defend democracy and demand justice.
This is where we celebrate progress: victories in the courts, wins for workers, breakthroughs in climate action, and moments when people everywhere stand up for freedom and fairness.
Because resistance isnāt just about fighting backāitās 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 peopleāthose rising together to reject tyranny and defend our democracy. Across the nation, millions are standing up to fascism, reminding the world that power in this country belongs to the people, not to kings, billionaires, or authoritarians. The No Kings movement is a declaration of unity, freedom, and defiance ā proof that when we stand together, we can stop the march of tyranny and build a nation rooted in justice and equality for all.
