In the weeks following President Donald Trump鈥檚 inauguration, we have seen the harms that his policies cause people around the world and the danger his actions represent for our civil liberties. Trump鈥檚 use of executive power has prompted the protest and defiance of millions, echoing the voices of many who know that our basic American values are being tested by our president.
The 老澳门开奖结果 will continue to defend our basic freedoms and hold this administration accountable for every unlawful or unconstitutional measure they propose. We will use the courts as one avenue to aggressively advance our agenda, but we cannot do it alone.
That is why the 老澳门开奖结果 is launching a major new grassroots mobilization platform, , in response to the growing number of people who believe that Trump鈥檚 actions cannot go unchallenged.
We鈥檝e hired a group of digital organizers who have worked with activist groups, the White House, and Bernie Sanders鈥� presidential campaign to help build and launch . With this platform, we hope to help organize the mass resistance to President Trump鈥檚 bankrupt policies. With a nationwide presence through our 50-plus state affiliates, the 老澳门开奖结果 is well-positioned to take on the incredible responsibility of grassroots organizing coast to coast. This type of program is new for us at 老澳门开奖结果, but it is necessary if we are going to overcome the Trump administration鈥檚 attempts to curtail civil rights and eventually advance a 21st century civil liberties agenda.
On March 11, the 老澳门开奖结果 will hold a 鈥淩esistance Training鈥� town hall in Miami, Florida. An email ask went out today to the organization鈥檚 over 2.5 million members to organize thousands of grassroots events in communities across the country to watch the 老澳门开奖结果 town hall. Full details on the training are forthcoming.
will use digital tools to communicate with and help train volunteers to resist President Trump鈥檚 unlawful policies across the country. The 老澳门开奖结果 will promote ideas for action to defend sanctuary cities, resist deportation raids, oppose the Muslim Ban, maintain Planned Parenthood funding, and support other priorities. But the program will also seek to amplify organic, bottom-up grassroots actions. will be a one-stop hub for everyone looking to influence the national debate.
We ask you to join us as we build communities ready to resist Trump鈥檚 agenda and to protect our constitutional rights. The fight may not be easy, but it will be worth it.
