This is why blue states have to come together and form regional alternative departments and programs to those the fascist government is cutting. Also, we need to form interstate climate agreements and make sure to follow international, reliable research. Future generations are counting on it.

The strike, boycott, protest, and local lobbying are effective tools to meet this end. Also, having Progressive states pass legislation to end Citz. United as well as get money out of politics (lower max contribution limit, public financing) and electing more progressives locally will help.

While this will not come from Washington, we can lobby to have our Progressive governors to implement these policies at a local level. They can also form compacts to create regional alternatives to programs/depos the WH is gutting (Labor, CFPB, etc.)

We need to incentivize entrepreneurs to create cooperatives, as well as get established small/mid sized businesses to cooperativize, and trust-bust aggressively and have larger companies adopt ESOPs and codetermination. We also must have stronger consumer protections, unions, and safety net.

Also the petition on Change.org is live, and can be signed and shared at this link. Together, we will overcome this regime and build a brighter future together.

Supporters can also feel free to reach out to their progressive governor about forming these compacts. The governors are:
@governor.ca.gov, @tinakotek.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social @colorado.gov @govmlg.bsky.social
You can call and email your governor and tell them to form compacts now.

A Free States Forever petiton will soon be launched. The goal will be to reach 1,000 signatures at the very least before being sent to the governors of the previously mentioned states.

While @northeastalliance.bsky.social will continue to focus on the northeast, Free States Forever will reach focus on building compacts between CO+NM, and CA+OR+WA. Support will always be shown to our compatriots in MN and IL as they continue to resist the Trump Regime.

The interstate/regional alliances can also look into reaching out to our traditional democratic allies around the world to show these states uphold human rights, democracy, and international law. We must continue to ally ourselves with the free world while Trump, Putin, and their allies assault it.

The states would work in harmonizing labor and business laws, and work towards boosting interstate trade and business among themselves. The can also democratize their local economies by incentivizing small/mid businesses to change to co-ops, and encourage businesses to use ESOP, and codetermination.

The funding for these new programs can be pooled among the compact states and funded with the protected tax dollars denied to the regime for abuse. The states can also work together to build a better economy than what the regime is trying to destroy by investigating building regional “blocks”.

States also can work together to build regional/interstate alternatives to federal programs and departments the government is cutting. Regional Depos of Labor, Education, HHS, CFPB, and alternatives to SNAP, and Medicare/Medicaid can bring the benefits of this programs to the people.

The specific policies of this compact include comprehensive civil rights defense in denying the regime state resources for their ethnic purging, or surrendering our peoples data, and protecting our taxpayer dollars by refusing to surrender them for Trump to abuse in extortion or war crimes abroad.

Originally, this initiative began as @northeastalliance.bsky.social, with the focus on building a interstate compact among the northeastern states (N. Eng, NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA). Nevertheless it is inspiring to see the level of pushback across the country, hence why other regions must be included.

While we do not have the Congress or the SC, we still do have our states. Progressive states across the country must unite in forming interstate compacts to build regional alliances to protect our rights, resist the Trump regime, and build a better future together where the regime seeks to destroy.
