John,

Yesterday, millions of people across the country peacefully took to the streets to let Donald Trump know that the United States isn’t a dictatorship, nor do we have kings. CHN was there, standing with our allies.

Yesterday’s marches and rallies came on the heels of increased aggression from the Trump regime to silence dissent, attack voting rights, speed up his mass deportation machine, attack non-profit organizations that serve our communities, and cut critical human needs programs to pass along tax handouts to his billionaire donors.

Yesterday’s No Kings rallies were a critical moment to let the country and the world know that we are fighting back. But our fight is far from over. The Coalition on Human Needs is organizing every day to hold this authoritarian administration accountable.

Donate $5 today to power our nationwide organizing that is pushing back against attacks on human needs and much more. Together, we’re standing up for our civil liberties and human rights.

Every day, Trump moves to consolidate power in the executive office, ignoring constitutional checks and balances.

His use of masked agents to terrorize our immigrant neighbors is something we have seen in dictatorships abroad, not in the United States. Until now.

By federalizing the National Guard, Trump is seeking to silence dissent in our major cities.

Those who are fighting to prevent skyrocketing health care costs and loss of insurance for millions have been forced to tie this urgent need to efforts to resolve the government shutdown.

The administration continues to claw back, freeze, or cancel congressionally appropriated funding, leaving vulnerable communities devastated. That is another crucial reason the government is currently shut down.

Now, Trump is using the shutdown as an excuse to lay off thousands more federal workers and gut educational programs that assist students with special needs.

We must fight back to stop this reign of chaos and suffering. Donate $5 today to power our work demanding a free and fair democracy that prioritizes human needs.
