James,
Let's be blunt: the Trump administration is preparing lists. They're vowing to investigate and prosecute the left, labeling any group demanding justice as “extremist.”
It isn't hypothetical – it's happening now. And Our Revolution could be among the targets.
How do we know? The far-right has made it clear who they want to silence: Fox News Radio just smeared Our Revolution as “Bernie Sanders' Gestapo,” and MAGA propaganda outlets like Breitbart are zeroing in on us with growing intensity. This is not random – it's coordinated intimidation.
Our team is working round the clock to protect our volunteers, keep activists safe at rallies, and secure the tools we need to organize – encrypted communication, rapid response systems, legal support, and personal security trainings. But our resources are spread thin. Every time we think we're covered, another attack pops up.
We can't keep up this pace without your support, and donations are falling behind this month. That's why we're asking: Can you donate $10, $25, or whatever you can so we can stand strong together and meet this $10,000 emergency defense fund goal before midnight tonight?
If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Our Revolution will process immediately.
It's not hard to see what Trump and his cronies are doing. They're openly laying out a plan to weaponize our government's most powerful investigative agencies – FBI, Homeland Security, DOJ, and even the IRS – against left-wing groups like ours. Then, they've told law enforcement to use Trump's sweeping National Security directive (NSPM-7) to “root out” not just activists, but organizers and funders as well.
We refuse to be silenced, criminalized, or bullied – because our work matters, now more than ever. As Trump's poll numbers plummet and even his MAGA backers start to see that he's only out to help his oligarch friends, we have the chance to make real wins to stop Trump's authoritarianism and win progressive victories up and down the ballot.
But the scary truth is that if the far-right's campaign works, it's not just Our Revolution at risk – it's every single activist who's dared to speak out for a fairer, more just America.
We're already expanding encrypted communications, legal protections, emergency security training, and rapid-response systems to keep our staff and volunteers safe. The problem is simple: these urgent steps cost money, and our fundraising this month is falling short.
We have always known that organizing for justice would make us enemies of the powerful. And right now, we need to know: are you with us?
When a president labels political opposition as “enemies,” defending our movement isn't optional – it's essential. Can you chip in today to help us raise $10,000 for our emergency defense fund and meet this moment head-on?
If we don’t act now, we risk losing the movement we’ve built together since Bernie founded Our Revolution in 2016 — to fear, intimidation, and silencing by Trump. Please, rush a donation now so we can keep organizing, keep safe, and keep fighting for our democracy.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
