Friends, we are witnessing a full-scale attack on our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law—right now, in real time. But here’s the thing: we have the power to stop it. The only question is whether we’ll use it.
Throughout the coming week, I’ll break down how we fight back—together. In Part 1, we reviewed the dangers of Project 2025, America’s current state of affairs, and how Grassroots activism is a powerful force that can shape the direction of a nation. In Part 2, we focused on Democrats, progressives, and the urgent reminder that it will take all of us who call America home to speak out, show up, and build power to advance freedom over fascism. Today, we're exploring ways to resist and how our collective action strengthens our power to stand against corrupt politicians trying to steal our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.
Protests
Protests are one of the most powerful tools we have to challenge corruption and demand change. When we take to the streets, we send an undeniable message to the powers that be—convicted felon Donald Trump, his administration, Republicans in Congress, and their Democratic enablers—that we will not sit idly by while they strip away our rights and undermine our democracy. From mass marches to sit-ins, protests have historically been a driving force behind civil rights, labor protections, and social justice victories. We are better than our worst days, and by standing together, we can right the wrongs of our past. I invite you to join us in showing these corrupt politicians that we will not back down, we will not cower, and we will not let them dictate our future.
General Strikes
A general strike is the ultimate display of people power—when workers, businesses, and entire industries unite to shut down the economy and force the hands of those in power. If politicians refuse to serve the people, then we will remind them who truly holds the power. Imagine millions refusing to work, buy, or contribute to a system that rewards the wealthy and punishes the rest of us. That kind of action can bring about real change. It’s time we started acting like the bosses of this country, refusing to let convicted felon Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress, and corrupt Democrats dictate our futures. We will not allow them to prioritize corporate greed over human need. Power belongs with the people, and through collective action, we can take it back.
Boycotts
Boycotts hit the corrupt where it hurts the most—their wallets. By refusing to support companies and industries that fund anti-democratic politicians or exploit workers, we shift the balance of power back toward the people. History has shown that when we withhold our money, the powerful listen. Whether it’s cutting off funding to corporations backing convicted felon Donald Trump and his enablers or boycotting businesses that mistreat workers, we can disrupt the status quo and demand accountability. We will not allow the wealthy and powerful to dictate our future while profiting off our labor and suffering. I invite you to join us in taking bold action—because when we fight together, we win.

Resist
Will you join me in resisting and committing to fighting the powers that be? Who are the powers that be? Right now our focus is on convicted felon President Trump and his administration, Republicans in Congress, naughty democrats, and their enablers.
It’s up to each of us to take a stand. We need to show up, speak out, and build the power necessary to remove corrupt politicians and replace them with leaders who truly serve the people. In the coming week, I’ll share more on how we can make this happen, but the bottom line is clear: action is not optional—it’s essential.
We the people are the bosses of 34-time convicted felon President Donald Trump, the Cabinet, and every member of Congress. It’s time we started acting like it.
Now is the time to strengthen our organizing efforts, mobilizing in every city and state to build a movement that puts power back where it belongs—with the people. We can’t afford to wait. The fight for our future starts now. By taking action, holding leaders accountable, and advocating for dignity, respect, and opportunity for all, we can build an America that lives up to the values of liberty and justice for all-not just the wealthy, powerful, or privileged.
