DICTATORS THROW MILITARY PARADES.
DEMOCRACIES DON’T.

Donald Trump just confirmed plans for a massive, taxpayer-funded military parade for his birthday — complete with tanks, troops, and extravagant pageantry. And the American people are expected to foot the bill.

Let’s be honest: this isn’t about patriotism. It’s about power, vanity, and control — classic authoritarian behavior.

Trump is raiding our national budget while slashing Social Security, gutting Medicaid, and hacking away at education. All so he can celebrate himself like a strongman dictator.

We refuse to let this happen without a fight.

At The Democracy Project, we know exactly what this is: a red flag. And we’re calling on every supporter of democracy to join our emergency petition to BLOCK Trump’s military parade before it becomes a dangerous precedent.

Dictators show off tanks. Democracies show restraint. This is not who we are — and we cannot allow Donald Trump to turn our country into his personal stage for militarized spectacle.

We need 50,000 signatures before midnight to show Congress the American people won’t stand for this dangerous display of authoritarianism. Will you stand with us?
