James,

Trump’s latest vanity project — his birthday tank parade on June 14th — has now ballooned to a jaw-dropping $45 million dollars. While communities across America struggle with hunger, crushing medical debt, and crumbling infrastructure, Donald Trump plans to spend tens of millions on a parade for himself.

The latest touch? A birthday serenade from the crowd:

But here's the good news: our massive grassroots resistance is quickly growing. Across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, over 1,400 "No Kings Day" events – including dozens led by Our Revolution – are preparing to spoil Trump’s costly vanity spectacle.

On June 14th, Trump wants the nation to stand in awe of him and his celebration featuring tanks, fighter jets, and military armaments – all designed to stroke his ego.

Instead, we’re going to rise up, push back, and flood the streets with peaceful demonstrations from coast to coast.

It’s EXACTLY the gift Trump doesn’t want. But successful protests don’t organize themselves. Supplies, materials, and transportation cost money. And as a grassroots movement, Our Revolution relies on donations from everyday people, just like you — not corporations or billionaires — to fund our critical work.

If each one of us contributes what we can, we have the power to turn Trump’s lavish celebration into the kind of mass mobilization he hates most: people-powered democracy in action. We’re ready to ruin Trump's $45 million ego parade with something priceless – unity, solidarity, and the strength of the progressive movement.

When we organize, we win.
