America, our freedoms are under attack
America, our freedoms are under siege. Extremist white Christian nationalists are pushing a dangerous narrative that distorts the history and principles of our nation. Despite their claims, the United States was founded on a Constitution that deliberately avoids religious language and guarantees the separation of church and state. Yet, they twist scripture to justify harms toward our marginalized community members.
Today, their target is abortion rights. Tomorrow, it could be birth control, interracial marriage, LGBTQIA+ rights, or any aspect of personal freedom that doesn’t fit their narrow worldview. Let’s not forget: while Donald Trump has ascended to the presidency, he does not embody true leadership. He never has, and he never will. The reality is stark—nearly 80% of people who call America home did not vote for him. This means our collective power far outweighs the influence of a few wealthy, privileged individuals attempting to impose an autocratic theocracy on us all.
Our task is monumental, but it is also possible. We must build a resilient, united movement capable of withstanding these attacks and inspiring people from all walks of life to believe in change and work together to achieve it. In this community, we refuse to stay silent in the face of hate or bigotry.

"White Christian nationalists believe the US was founded as a Christian nation, although the Constitution never mentions God and enshrines the separation of church and state. Its adherents twist biblical language to justify violence, sexism and hostility toward people of color.”1
White Christian Nationalists want to promote cruelty and
Embolden sexual abusers
Force You to Give Birth
Tell You who You can Love
Stop You from Voting
Ban Books You Read
Price Gouge You and Your Family
Terrorize you with Lax Gun Laws
Take Your Social Security and Medicare

Pollute Your Community for Profit
Put healthcare profits over healthcare

Embolden a compromised Supreme Court and a criminal former President
Under Project 2025 which was authored by several advocates for White Christian nationalism here is what is being proposed for Civil Rights:
Civil Rights:
Ends same-sex marriage.
Ends no-fault divorce.
Cancels all LGBTQ+ rights and federal protections.
Ends LGBTQ+ health programs.
Legislates a "Biblically based" definition of marriage and family, asserting heterosexual couples are superior.
Removes "sexual orientation" and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) from federal laws and eliminates DEI offices.
Promotes capital punishment.
Blocks transgender people from serving in the military.
Restricts transgender rights.
Ends the Fair Housing Act.
Bans pornography.
The rise of Christian nationalism is dangerous, but it is not unstoppable. Here’s how we fight back:
CALLS-TO-ACTION
Join us to call, email, and make noise against Trump’s nominee Russ Vought for the Office of Management and Budget. Russ Vought is one of the architects of Project 2025 which lays the groundwork for White Christian Nationalism. Click here for the toolkit to oppose this extreme nomination.
Build local power. Let’s go beyond the march by organizing locally to hold leaders accountable, protect vulnerable communities, and ensure that everyone is treated with dignity, can live safely, and has the opportunity to thrive. A march is only the beginning—together, we can build a powerful, people-driven movement that creates real, lasting progress in our communities. Let’s make every step count! Find your People Power United state group here.
Build leaders up. Hold your local, state, and federal leaders accountable to protect our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy. Take action by making calls, visiting their offices, sending messages, posting on social media and tagging them, and consistently urging them to speak up and show up for our communities. Your persistent pressure can make the difference!
Resist. Resistance and civil disobedience are powerful tools for challenging injustice and sparking change. When people collectively refuse to accept oppression and take a stand against unjust systems, they expose the cracks in those systems and inspire others to act. Civil disobedience, rooted in nonviolence and moral courage, has the power to disrupt the status quo, amplify marginalized voices, and push societies toward justice and equality. Throughout history, it has been the driving force behind transformative movements that have reshaped the world.
Stop. Stop supporting organizations and buying from companies that are encouraging Trump’s Project 2025 and MAGA’s harmful agenda. Here is a list of endorsers.
Stop. Stop settling for spaces that feel comfortable but fail to inspire action. If a social club, organization, or online community claims to champion democracy but doesn't actively grow or empower you—or the movement—to take meaningful steps forward, it’s time to reevaluate. Our mission must be to bring in more people from all ages and walks of life, expanding the reach of our cause.
While it’s wonderful to connect with like-minded individuals and share a common purpose, complacency can be dangerous. The truth is, we cannot afford to stand still while MAGA forces continue to organize and grow stronger. Every moment we spend in stagnant spaces is a moment we lose in the fight to protect our democracy and ensure a future of fairness and opportunity for all.
Let’s embrace action-driven communities that challenge us to do more, to be more, and to unite with others in building a resilient, people-powered movement. Together, we can push back against extremism and make real, lasting progress.

I'm appalled but not surprised at Trump's disregard for our constitution. He is not a ruler follower. Our constitution is based on freedom of practicing our own religion. That's why the pilgrims came to America! The white christian movement does not have a say on how anyone can practice our religion nor should their beliefs be practice in public schools! Religious type beliefs are practiced in private schools, i.e., like the Catholic schools I went to. Many attend their own private religious schools or charter schools which is their right. Don't push white religious beliefs and or hocking Trump bibles on the American people and make money off of selling these bibles. How disgusting is that!
Well said! Any message longer than that probably will be lost on many of the American public now. Especially those who are followers of X and other social media.
