JOHN, if you haven't seen this yet, you really need to read below.

Trump will roll a military parade through the streets of Washington, DC in a week's time.

This is a disgusting display of authoritarianism, it's a desecration of our military, and it'll cost taxpayers $92 million to boot.

We need all hands on deck, raising our voices to oppose this sham. Will you add your name to CANCEL Trump's military parade?

We're grateful to have you standing with us.

Donald Trump has ordered a military parade in Washington, D.C.—on his birthday.

This is not to honor our troops.
Not to commemorate a national achievement.
But to celebrate himself.

This isn’t patriotism. It’s authoritarian propaganda.

It’s Trump playing dictator with your tax dollars while gutting benefits for the very veterans he claims to support.

We’ve seen this before. Trump tried this same stunt during his first term—and public outcry shut it down. Now he’s back, more unhinged and unaccountable than ever. So we need to raise our voices even louder.

JOHN: Add your name to our national petition rejecting Trump’s vanity parade and defending democracy against this authoritarian circus.

This is not normal. It is authoritarian.

Presidents of democracies don’t use tanks and soldiers to boost their own image. Dictators do. Trump is trying to emulate his idols: Putin, Kim, and Xi.

And while Trump parades his ego through the streets, his MAGA allies are working to slash health care, veterans’ housing, and public education to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

We must speak out—loudly and in numbers too big to ignore. Add your name to the petition and tell Trump exactly what you think of his birthday parade fantasy.
