John,
Trump invoked Title 10 to deploy 2,000 California National Guard troops to quash protests in response to ICE raids—an unprecedented move since the L.A. uprising in 1992.
The National Guard has been federalized numerous times in our nation’s history—most notably during the Civil Rights Movement, when it was deployed to protect those demanding justice from violent white supremacists trying to stop them.
This military crackdown in Los Angeles—and in cities across the country—comes just one week before Trump’s $100 million military parade, a spectacle designed to soothe MAGA’s wounded ego after a week of humiliation and retreat.
But the people are fighting back in cities across the country. Find your local immigrant rights group, and see how you can show up for the fight.
Every day people like us are gathering and opposing the MAGA regime’s incursion into their communities. People are putting their bodies on the line, protesting, creating blockades, organizing car caravans, and using their voices to block ICE’s abductions.
Women’s March doesn’t follow the headlines—we follow the people on the front lines. And the people in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and communities across Massachusetts who are leading a bold, disciplined civil disobedience at this moment.
We are every day people locking arms to defend the vulnerable, putting our bodies between armored vehicles and our communities, lifting our voices in song and ridicule and defiance in the face of our communities being conscripted into Trump’s escalating attacks on our communities.
This fight is our fight—and we’ll be there at every step.
In rage and resistance,
Women’s March
