Hey there John,
Yesterday, from Long Beach to New York City to Portland, Sunrisers were out in full force for No Kings Day — joining millions across the country to send a message loud and clear:
We will not bow to wannabe authoritarians.
Together, we filled the streets with chants, art, and our courage, reminding the country that young people aren’t afraid to stand up to Trump and his billionaire backers who think they can buy our democracy. They want us to believe that power belongs only to them, but this weekend of historic protests proved something different. Power lives with the people.
Moments like No Kings Day are electric. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that protest alone isn’t enough. Real change takes organization, strategy, and persistence.
That’s why very single day Sunrisers are building a movement of young people ready to fight for democracy, climate justice, and a government that finally works for all of us. From training new leaders, to mobilizing voters, to holding those in power accountable, Sunrise is turning the kind of energy we saw this weekend into the movement that can put a stop to Trump's authoritarianism.
Every organizer we train, every rally we plan, every action we take, it all depends on grassroots supporters chipping in what they can to keep this movement growing strong. Trump and his billionaire friends think they can silence us. They're wrong.
In solidarity,
Team Sunrise
