James,
Right now, Trump and Republicans in Congress are working overtime to try to silence our movement – and they’re not even trying to hide it.
Senator Ted Cruz doubled down on his dangerous crusade to crush the peaceful “No Kings” protest movement. He went on national TV, smeared nonviolent protests as “riots,” and demanded Congress pass his so-called “Stop FUNDERs Act” – a bill designed to threaten, prosecute, and silence those who support protest actions like “No Kings.”
Let’s be clear: Cruz’s bill would give the government the power to ban organizing, scare allies, and chill free speech. It's a blatant attack on our rights and we need to OVERWHELM Congress with opposition RIGHT NOW.
Take action: Tell Congress now, Reject the dangerous "Stop FUNDERs Act" and protect our right to protest.
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
Mehdi Hasan said it best: “They want to ban protests…They want to kill the first amendment.” If that sounds extreme – look closer.
Cruz wants to prosecute people for *funding* peaceful protest. And this isn’t an isolated attack. Earlier this year, Donald Trump quietly signed a new terrifying National Security directive – NSPM-7, which singles out left-wing activists, launching a national strategy to “investigate and disrupt” organizations like ours. And even scarier, it authorizes a 4,000-strong enforcement arm of the FBI to ‘prevent’ crimes that haven’t even happened.
It’s completely chilling, but we refuse to be intimidated.
If we let this bill pass, we ALL could lose our right to support causes we believe in – or simply speak out. This is not a drill. It’s about the millions of people who have been the conscience of our democracy – and who could be at risk of prosecution just for organizing for justice.
The good news is we can still defeat this. But only if we raise our voices, fast and loud.
We need to act quickly and urgently to shutdown Cruz’s bill before it becomes law. Send an urgent message straight to your members of Congress NOW: Protect the First Amendment—SAY NO to the “Stop FUNDERs Act”
Republicans are counting on us to stay quiet and afraid. Let’s show them we are unafraid, unbroken, and ready to organize like never before.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
