John, if you watched Trump’s address last night and felt angry, alarmed, or just plain exhausted by his endless lies — or if you skipped it and scrolled through your socials this morning to a barrage of bullshit, I am right there with you.
But feeling outraged isn’t enough — we have to take action. The heart of the fight right now is in state and local communities, and we have alumni all across the country we helped elect on the front lines. If that’s all you need to hear to get started, please consider making a donation to Run for Something now to join us in our mission to elect progressive leaders up and down the ballot.
Fear. Chaos. Control. That’s what Trump’s entire strategy is built on — not making an actual difference for the American people.
And last night, we saw it in full force. He wants us to be too overwhelmed by the fear, too confused by the chaos, and too discouraged to fight back. That way, he can get away with his abuse of power, implement his Project 2025 agenda, and hand massive tax cuts to his billionaire friends.
We can’t let that happen.
That’s why today, I’m asking you to donate and join Run for Something in the fight. We’re actively working to recruit, train, and elect bold, progressive leaders who will call out Trump’s lies, hold the far right accountable, and fight for our democracy at every level.
If you’re ready to fight back, chip in whatever you can today:
