250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings.
On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Next up is the April 5th "Hands Off!" mobilization. Already 600(!) events on the map.
