Indivisibles,
In just over a week, Trump will be inaugurated for a second time and MAGA Republicans will have full control of the federal government. For those of us who remember Trump’s first term and know what he has planned in Project 2025, we understand just how perilous of a position our democracy is in. But not everyone sees the threat the way we do.
While we prepare for the fight ahead, we’re seeing key institutions failing to hold Trump accountable and elite figures in positions of power signaling that they’re more interested in appeasing him than defying him:
- Tech CEOs are bending the knee and donating millions to Trump’s inaugural fund. And just this week, Zuckerberg announced that Meta would be changing their content moderation and fact-checking policies (a change that Trump said was probably a result of his threats to jail Zuckerberg).1
- Democratic electeds are also wavering, with Rep. Tom Suozzi loudly calling for Democrats to find compromise on parts of Trump’s agenda and Sen. John Fetterman confirming he plans to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
- Yesterday, the federal judge in Trump’s hush money case announced he would receive no penalties or fines in his sentence, concluding a long saga of our justice system failing to hold him accountable for his crimes.
We know Trump is following in the well-trodden steps of authoritarians before him -- aiming to silence his critics and undermine his political opposition. And with so many elites in the media, business, and even in the Democratic Party capitulating before the real fight has even begun, it’s more important than ever that independent, grassroots groups like Indivisible are prepared to lead the fight against Trump 2.0.
Much of that preparation is already underway. We’re onboarding tens of thousands of new Indivisibles and supporting new local groups all across the country. But we have a long fight ahead of us, and we’re counting on grassroots donors to support this movement for the long haul. So, if you’re able to donate today, please click here to pitch in.

This isn’t the first time that leadership has had to come from the grassroots. Some people mistakenly remember elected Democrats and public figures rising up immediately to challenge Trump after he won in 2016. In reality, it took time -- and a whole lot of organizing -- to get our representatives into fighting shape. Once we built a unified front, we were able to block some of the most egregious aspects of Trump’s agenda and build a blue wave in 2018.
Now, it’s time for groups like ours -- independent, grassroots groups with real community footprints who know how to reach people outside traditional media -- to lead again. Over the coming months, we’ll be working to hold Republicans accountable, build a backlash against MAGA’s most unpopular policies, and push our Democratic electeds to show up as fighters. And all of that organizing -- phone calls, emails, public demonstrations, district office visits, and more -- will require grassroots funding.
So if you’re ready to lead the fight against Project 2025 and Trump 2.0, then please click here to pitch in and support this movement.
