John,
People are constantly asking me — what can I do?
Millions have hit the streets in protest. America continues to show that Trump’s authoritarianism won’t go unchallenged. But marching isn’t enough on its own.
Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, there’s a lot more we can do.
Check out this week’s video to see five practical next steps you can take to make a difference! Then share them with your social media to help create an ongoing groundswell of opposition.
Friends, democracy is not a spectator sport. It’s not something we can just pick up and put down, especially when the stakes are as high as they are now.
My hope is that these five steps will help you build solidarity with your community in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian powergrab. And these steps are by no means an exhaustive list — if you have other suggestions, please share them in the comments.
I know things seem dire — and they are — but you are not alone. And I believe in you. All of us.
Together, we will stand up for democracy — and we will win.
