John,
Public reaction to the billboards placed near military bases warning service members about illegal orders has escalated. Outrage has given way to organized pressure aimed at shutting them down.
Right-wing politicians, media figures and conspiracy outlets are no longer just criticizing the message. They are targeting the organizations behind it and trying to make continuing this work feel unsafe. This is a familiar tactic. When they cannot defeat the message, they try to make the cost of keeping it visible unbearable.
Win Without War, our partners leading this effort, is now operating under heightened risk. Staff have faced coordinated harassment campaigns, and personal information has been circulated online by right-wing conspiracy networks. Additional security measures are now required simply to keep doing the work. None of this is theoretical. It is happening now.
Please rush a split donation right now between Democracy for America Advocacy Fund and Win Without War to help keep this campaign running now.
This campaign began before six Democratic members of Congress released their video warning about illegal orders. It began before Trump lashed out and smeared them as traitors. We did not wait for political permission and we will not stop because of attacks. Win Without War acted because service members deserve clarity before they are put in impossible positions.
Trump wants obedience without limits. He wants loyalty over law. History shows where that leads, and service members understand it better than anyone. That’s why this campaign is resonating so deeply and why it’s being treated as a threat by the far right.
Pulling these billboards now would be exactly what Trump and his allies want. Keeping them up sends a clear message: the Constitution still matters, illegal orders are not binding, and intimidation will not win.
This campaign is working because it is visible, relentless, and grounded in truth. With your support, it will stay that way.
Rush a donation today to help Democracy for America Advocacy Fund and Win Without War keep these billboards up and protect the people behind this campaign now.
Together, we can hold the line.
– DFA AF Team
