John,
This past Sunday, thousands of people from across the country joined us for our first-ever Resistance Lab 2.0 workshop to prepare for the constitutional crisis that is right in front of us.
That’s thousands of people who gave up their time on a Sunday because they know that this is a time of crisis and the clock is ticking — and I couldn’t be more grateful.
The truth is, democracies fall in a matter of months. Authoritarians come into power and then move with frightening speed to enact their chaos and cruelty. And unfortunately, too many of us in America have become complacent — many may have felt that our democracy was stable, and that checks and balances would protect us.
But what we are seeing now is that those checks and balances — whether it’s Congress or the courts — only work if those in power abide by them. If they don’t, then the only real course of action is for the people to act collectively to force change.
That’s why it’s so important that we all do our part. Democracies are never saved by just one person or even one institution. It takes all of us building momentum and doing what we can.
We’re going to keep doing our part by bringing the Resistance Lab to people all over the country who want to learn about effective tactics for nonviolent resistance. But none of it is possible without your grassroots support.
I know there’s a lot of fear out there right now. People are afraid because authoritarians want to make you afraid, and they want you to be silent.
But I also know that millions of us are standing up, speaking out, and taking direct actions to resist — and that truly matters.
So thank you, John, for everything you’re doing in this moment. Together we’ll build the momentum we need to put the people back in power.
In solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
