Hi,

Let's not mince words. This election was an absolute disaster.

Virtually everything we care about is now in danger, from our efforts to
achieve a ceasefire in Gaza to the basic survival of American democracy.

We all saw the damage Donald Trump did in his first four years in the
White House. Now that the Supreme Court has handed him sweeping immunity
from criminal prosecution, the guardrails are gone.

We're now in the fight of our lives, and we need to get to work
immediately. Demand Progress stood up to Donald Trump last time, and we're
ready to do it again.

Action and support our work, including taking on Donald Trump's extremist
agenda?

[ [link removed] ]Donate $20

[ [link removed] ]Donate $40

We're about to face an all-out assault on everything we believe in.

Trump's allies' Project 2025 agenda is a step-by-step manual for stripping
away our most basic rights and moving America toward an authoritarian
state.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, spent an unfathomable amount of
money to buy the election for Trump, and now he's positioned to move
directly into the administration as the head of a government efficiency
commission with sweeping plans to gut entire federal agencies.^1

Benjamin Netanyahu now has a wide-open opportunity to depopulate Gaza, as
Trump's son-in-law and former Middle East point person Jared Kushner has
advocated.^2

We'll work with anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, to make
progress for peace and democracy, and against corporate corruption.

But this is a gut-check moment for our movement, and our work starts right
now.

So here's our plan: We will speak out in the media and in the halls of
Congress. We will organize. We will flood email inboxes and light up
switchboards on Capitol Hill. We will make our voices heard and fight back
every time Trump and his MAGA allies come after our democracy or hand
additional giveaways to their corporate cronies.

There will be defeats, but there will also be victories, and together,
with your support, we will never, ever give up.

support our work, including taking on Donald Trump's extremist agenda.

With gratitude,

The team at Demand Progress Action
