Here’s How We Stand Up to Fascism
America, we are at a crossroads. When our lawmakers place personal gain and the interests of wealthy donors above public health, safety, and national security, the fabric of our nation begins to fray. Corruption erodes trust in our institutions, leaving communities disconnected, unprotected, and vulnerable. Greed-driven decisions strip away environmental protections, compromise food safety, and underfund critical public health programs, creating preventable crises that disproportionately harm the most vulnerable among us: children, the elderly, and those living in poverty.
When leaders like felon President Trump and his enablers in Congress prioritize self-interest and retribution over the collective good, they expose our nation to more significant risks—external threats, economic instability, and harm to our communities. These failures ripple through our lives, leaving us all to bear the cost of their greed. The time to demand accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership is now.
This week, we must take decisive action against unfit nominees—RFK, Patel, Gabbard, and Project 2025 architect Russ Vought—and push back on the SAVE Act, an insidious attack on voting rights. Imagine voter suppression on an atomic scale; that's the threat this bill poses to our democracy. If passed, it will silence millions of Americans at the polls and undermine the foundation of our nation.
Fascism does not arrive with fanfare; it creeps in through the shadows of apathy and the silence of good people who choose inaction. History warns us that tyranny thrives not only because of its loudest supporters but because of those who look away, trusting that someone else will act. This pattern has repeated itself throughout history, but we have the power to stop it.
Despite Donald Trump's presidency, let's be clear: he is no leader. Nearly 80% of people who call America home did not vote for him, and we cannot let his regime define us. This is our moment to build a resilient and inclusive movement capable of resisting the ambitions of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged few who seek to strangle our democracy.
Will you stand with us? Will you advocate for leadership that is competent, qualified, and guided by integrity? Join us to push back against corruption and to secure a future where America stands as a beacon of strength, stability, and justice. The time to act is now. Let's show the world the power of engaged citizens united for the common good.
Oppose Kash Patel for FBI Director
Sign the petition and then call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and say:
"Hi, I'm a constituent from ________, urging the Senator to vote NO on Kash Patel's nomination as FBI Director. Patel's extreme views and actions make him a threat to our democracy, the rule of law, and national security. Please reject this nomination and support leadership grounded in unity and the greater good."
Reject Russ Vought for OMB Director
Sign the petition and send a direct message to your Senator opposing Russ Vought's nomination. Then, call (202) 224-3121 and say:
"Hi, I'm a constituent from ________, urging the Senator to vote NO on Russ Vought's nomination as OMB Director. Vought's extreme policies endanger our democracy and national security. America needs qualified leaders committed to fairness and progress, not division and partisanship."
Stop RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard
Reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of HHS—a conspiracy theorist unfit to lead our nation's health efforts. Similarly, Tulsi Gabbard's ties to authoritarian regimes and Russian propaganda raise serious concerns about her suitability as Intelligence Director. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and demand they block these unqualified nominees.
No On the Save Act
The SAVE Act poses a significant danger to our democracy by imposing overly restrictive voter ID requirements that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Click here to send a message and call your lawmakers in the Senate (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote no on the Save Act.
Act now to protect our democracy and ensure our leaders are committed to the well-being of all Americans. Your voice matters!

Just called my representatives. Got a staffer for my house rep. I asked if they were getting a lot of calls and she said no. What's up America? Start calling, writing, or going to the front door. I want to see loud, vigorous opposition from my representatives. There is no working with crazy people GOP cult. Make noise.
