John, Trump just made it clear: Dissent is a threat to his power. And he’s willing to send in troops to crush it.

After protests erupted in Los Angeles against ICE raids, Trump did what authoritarian leaders do:

• Deployed the National Guard — against the governor’s wishes
• Militarized the streets
• And sent a message to the country: Protest, and I’ll send the military

Let’s be honest: This isn’t about “public safety.” It’s about fear, power, and control.

But here’s the thing — it didn’t work.

Local leaders stepped up. And they fought back.

In Pasadena, State Sen. Sasha Reneé Pérez — a Run for Something alum — monitored ICE activity, rallied her community, and helped kick immigration officers out of multiple hotels.

That’s the kind of power we build. That’s why Run for Something exists.

We elect bold, values-driven local leaders who protect their communities — even when the federal government won’t.

👉🏽 If you believe in that kind of leadership, rush a donation right now. We’re working to elect hundreds more like Sasha.

Trump wants fear. We choose resistance.

Thanks for standing with us,
