Friend –

What this nation has experienced at the hands of the Trump administration over the past several months is as troubling as it is illegal.

From intensified attacks on free speech to large-scale and warrantless immigration raids to military troops in cities across the country – the president is using the immense power of the federal government to try and silence opposition through fear.

As alarming as these escalated abuses of power continue to be, we the people have proven time and again that we will never stop showing up for each other and for our democracy. Together, we can win – and that is why the ACLU is bringing together our entire community for a crucial event next week:
