Friend,
What unfolded this weekend was historic. From Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, from small towns to college campuses, seven million people joined No Kings rallies to send one unmistakable message: we will not be ruled by a wanna-be king.
It was a sea of voices united in purpose, a collective and peaceful refusal to accept the erosion of our democracy. No president, no matter how powerful or vengeful, stands above the people or the principles that define this nation.
But the power of this movement didn’t begin and end in the streets. Across the country, a rising wave of defiance is meeting Trump’s authoritarian overreach head-on.
Reporters are refusing to bow to the regime’s demands, choosing truth and accountability over access and appeasement. When Trump’s officials tried to force journalists to surrender their independence for proximity to power, newsrooms across the spectrum stood firm and said no. Universities are also rejecting efforts to dictate what can be taught or who can teach it, defending the freedom of thought that underpins democracy itself. And across civic life, from local officials to business leaders, people are pushing back against Trump’s efforts to turn public institutions into tools of punishment and fear.
Every act of courage, every refusal to comply with cruelty, is part of a larger movement reclaiming the moral center of our democracy.
If seven million people can take to the streets in a single weekend, imagine what we can do together at the ballot box. The Trump regime and its Republican allies in Congress are counting on exhaustion, cynicism, and silence to carry them through the midterms. We can’t give them that.
This movement has shown its power in the streets. Now we must organize in communities, mobilize voters, and hold those in power accountable at every level of government.
Joining that fight means helping to sustain it. When you give, you’re fueling the work of millions who believe in democracy, justice, and the promise of equality. You’re standing shoulder to shoulder with those who refuse to let Trump’s regime rewrite our future.

Seven million voices just proved what this movement is capable of. Now it’s on us to carry that momentum forward – organizing, building, and showing up together through the midterms and beyond.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
