We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.
Because let’s be clear: We do not have a functioning democracy anymore. Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.
They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.
This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.
They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.
They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.
So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.
We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.
So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.
🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.
🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.
🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.
📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.
📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.
We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

Did fake news start covering these or are they still pretending nothing happened?
Seems like all news and politics communities on reddit are ignoring these. The actually post hitting front page come from odds subs that don't specialize in left right circle jerk
Early Sunday morning, I saw a post about this and didn't realize this had happened (I try to avoid news mostly).
So I went to a major news site and it was the primary front article, with a big crowd picture and direct references to like 1,400 protests, hundreds of thousands for some protests, and even references to international protests.
By late Sunday it had been updated a bit but that was still the main story.
Just noting it got coverage, and they were clear about the amounts as the story was developing.
I dunno about local DC news, though DC was not the only protest location. It appears early Monday that the larger news has moved on from the story.
Yes lots of ignoring and claiming "it wasnt alot of people"
In my major city the only media that was there was Associated Press. We had over 5k people. Zero local coverage.
There were enough people crowded around my state's Capitol building that it was causing traffic jams that rippled out across nearly the entire city. Not a peep about it from the local news.
Any other day they'll devote a whole 20 minute segment to telling you about how the rain is causing delays, but when it's something people actually need to know about? Even the crickets are silent.
