Hey John,

Trump and Elon Musk are pillaging our government to fund more tax cuts for billionaires like themselves.

It’s time to get in the streets and show their administration that the American people will not stand by while they do.

Tomorrow, April 5th, is the largest mobilization since Trump’s inauguration, all around the country, and there’s almost certainly one near you. Join a protest and make sure your voice is heard.

There are certainly people trying to convince you that protests like this are useless. Don’t listen to them.

If we may make a bit of a hot take here: the billionaire class wants you to believe that, because they know it’s the only thing that ever has.

(There’s a bunch of different reasons to protest. For an in-depth explainer, check out today's Instagram post.)

But tomorrow’s action is a promise.

It’s a promise to powerful people that millions of people are watching them, and a reminder that no matter how rich or powerful they are, everyday people outnumber them, and we can shut down society if we work collectively.

Crowds scare authoritarians. If all these people came out to protest, what else might they do?

But it’s also a promise to each other. When you show up to a mass protest you are saying to the people around you: “There is safety in numbers, and I’ve got your back"

We all need to have each others’ backs in this moment, when the oligarchy seems so strong and fascism seems so near. The only thing we have is each other.

The road to mass non-cooperation starts now.

See you in the streets,

Team Sunrise
