Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

People often ask what a coalition of 200,000 can do. The answer’s simple — with all our free time (since a lot of us got fired), we’re out here causing a lot of good trouble.

Former WTO head Pascal Lamy observes “I think Mr Trump learned to do business in the New York mafia-influenced real estate market and that his tactics are based on extortion." He's not wrong.

Trump opponents ready to take to streets with nationwide protests
Some 1,200 demonstrations are planned across the U.S. on Saturday in what organizers expect to be the largest single day of protest against President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk since the administration launched its rapid-fire effort to put a conservative stamp on government.

Madagascar, one of the world's poorest countries, has been slapped with 47% tariffs by Trump.
Why?
Madagascar’s farmers sell vanilla to American food producers and its mines supply titanium and nickel to US factories – but the impoverished nation can't afford to buy much in return.

Trump’s 50% tariffs are gutting Lesotho’s garment industry, wiping out tens of thousands of jobs—mostly women—who make clothes for US brands, such as Levi’s, Calvin Klein & Walmart. Entire communities face collapse so he can play strongman. He’s exporting chaos & calling it policy.
