When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

We learn to call silence peace—mistaking stillness for safety. Real peace isn’t the absence of noise; it’s the presence of life. It has a pulse, a rhythm, a roar. Peace isn’t hiding—it’s standing for what’s right, building a world where justice breathes freely, and everyone can thrive in its light.

Life can be heavy. You are not alone. Reach out. YOU are worth it.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Just thought you might want to know.

4️⃣ Support nonprofits that've been pivotal in advancing civil rights and protecting American democracy.

From the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to Voting Rights Act of 1965, Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade and much more — without pro-freedom non-profits, we wouldn't have the rights we do today.

3️⃣ Demand accountability. Trump and his allies will test their limits.

Pressuring your Senators and Representative matters, even if they support Trump: write them, call them, join town halls.

Show elected officials that their job is to serve the people, not to serve one man’s anti-freedom agenda.

2️⃣ Take action locally. In Hungary, cities became resistance hubs. Local action can be a key part of defending democracy.

Support candidates/elected officials who will stand against Trump's overreach:

• Governor, AG, other statewide positions
• State Legislature
• City Council
• School Board

So, what can we do?

1️⃣ Stay informed. Orbán relied on disinformation to hide his power grabs.

Support independent outlets (@propublica.org is a great one) and amplify factual reporting.

Push back on lies. Whether it’s Trump’s fraud claims or attacks on free speech, truth is resistance.

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.

He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.

Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️
