Here's where that money could have gone instead:
Donald Trump's use of the National Guard and Marines for a political stunt in Los Angeles is going to cost tax-payers millions!
Here's what that money could have done instead:
- Provided SNAP benefits for over 70,000 families and children
- Boosted job training for veterans by 50%
- Rehoused over 15,000 veterans who need homes
- Provided emergency relief for over 175,000 disaster victims
There's also a wildfire burning over 4,000 acres in San Bernardino, California, right now and firefighters are currently short-staffed. But Donald Trump does not care about any of that: he would rather deploy troops to violently suppress peaceful protests for a photo-op. But this is our chance to fight back. In 48 hours, over 1,800 protests will simultaneously take place nationwide to stand up to Donald Trump's authoritarian power-grabs. We've set out to raise $50,000 in solidarity. In order to hit our goal, we're going to need a massive grassroots response. Will you join us in standing up for our democracy, our freedoms, and the great institutions under attack by Donald Trump and his MAGA mob?
