Friend,

This weekend, our CEO Jamie Beran addressed thousands at a No Kings protest in New Jersey:

“People often ask me, what do these marches do?
Are these rallies effective?
Will they stop my neighbors from being kidnapped by unidentified agents?
Will they stop protestors from being pummeled on the streets?”

Trump wants you to think these protests aren’t Americans from every walk of life, from cities and towns, big and small.

Jamie spoke to a crowd of 8,000, in a town with a total population of 15,000! Many shared it was their first ever protest.

In total, 7 million people in 2,600+ communities turned out for No Kings this weekend. The research shows our pro-democracy movement is expanding and breaking new ground.1,2

In her speech, Jamie reminded us that Trump knows our strength, which is why he aims to divide us.

She invited the crowd to look each other in the eye — to see the neighbors Trump will try to divide us from — and say “Hineni, I am here.”

Watch the powerful moment when the crowd chants “Hineni!” at No Kings this weekend. <[link removed]>

This march is a reminder for us of our power. When Trump tries to break our democracy, he’s not showing strength but exposing his weakness. He’s showing he doesn’t have popular support. We have the numbers, we are the majority, and we will protect each other.

Hineni, we are here,

The Bend the Arc team
