Here’s How We Stand Up to Fascism
America, we are at a crossroads. When our lawmakers place personal gain and the interests of wealthy donors above public health, safety, and national security, the fabric of our nation begins to fray. Corruption erodes trust in our institutions, leaving communities disconnected, unprotected, and vulnerable. Greed-driven decisions strip away environmental protections, compromise food safety, and underfund critical public health programs, creating preventable crises that disproportionately harm the most vulnerable among us: children, the elderly, and those living in poverty.
When leaders like felon President Trump and his enablers in Congress prioritize self-interest and retribution over the collective good, they expose our nation to more significant risks—external threats, economic instability, and harm to our communities. These failures ripple through our lives, leaving us all to bear the cost of their greed. The time to demand accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership is now.
Fascism does not arrive with fanfare; it creeps in through the shadows of apathy and the silence of good people who choose inaction. History warns us that tyranny thrives not only because of its loudest supporters but because of those who look away, trusting that someone else will act. This pattern has repeated itself throughout history, but we have the power to stop it.
Despite Donald Trump's presidency, let's be clear: he is no leader. Nearly 80% of people who call America home did not vote for him 1, and we cannot let his regime define us. This is our moment to build a resilient and inclusive movement capable of resisting the ambitions of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged few who seek to strangle our democracy.
Will you stand with us? Will you advocate for leadership that is competent, qualified, and guided by integrity? Join us to push back against corruption and to secure a future where America stands as a beacon of strength, stability, and justice. The time to act is now. Let's show the world the power of engaged citizens united for the common good.

How do we fight Fascism?
Hope
Hope is a powerful weapon against fascism, serving as both a shield and a rallying cry in the face of fear and oppression. While fascism thrives on division, despair, and apathy, hope inspires unity, action, and resilience. It fuels our belief in a better future, reminding us that change is possible when we come together with determination and courage. Hope empowers us to envision a society built on equality, justice, and freedom, motivating us to take meaningful steps to protect these values. By cultivating hope in our communities, we counteract the darkness of fascism with light, proving that love, solidarity, and persistence can overcome even the most daunting challenges.
Respect
Respect is a formidable weapon against fascism, countering its foundation of hatred and dehumanization with dignity and inclusivity. Fascism seeks to divide and conquer by pitting communities against one another, but respect bridges those divides, fostering empathy and understanding. When we listen to each other, honor diverse perspectives, and uphold the inherent worth of every individual, we dismantle the narratives that fuel authoritarian ideologies. Respect strengthens our resolve to protect the rights of all, reminding us that democracy thrives when we treat each other as equals. By leading with respect, we create a society where collaboration and compassion overpower fear and division, rendering fascism powerless in the face of unity.
Unity
Unity is one of the most powerful weapons against fascism, as it dismantles the divide-and-conquer tactics that authoritarian regimes rely on to maintain power. Fascism thrives on sowing division, exploiting differences, and isolating communities, but unity creates an unbreakable bond that transcends those divides. When people from all walks of life stand together, recognizing that an attack on one group is an attack on all, they form a collective force too strong to ignore. Unity amplifies our voices, strengthens our movements, and ensures that no one fights alone. It reminds us that our shared commitment to freedom, justice, and democracy is far greater than the fear and hate that fascism seeks to spread. Together, we can build a future where unity prevails, ensuring that democracy is not just defended but strengthened.
🗽The strength of a nation is not its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them. - Gene Roddenberry
