Hi there,

Donald Trump and his cronies are attempting an illegal power grab—and we’re fighting back.

In case you needed reminding, they are: driving up prices, threatening our economy, indiscriminately firing federal workers, deporting migrants without due process, gutting essential programs, attacking free speech, slashing scientific research, threatening Social Security, endangering decades of environmental progress, and so much else besides—just to make sure billionaires can get a little richer.

Their actions are also enabled by Republicans in Congress, who are trying to pass—in a series of marathon votes starting this evening—an extremist budget resolution that will make life harder for everyday Americans while eroding our democracy.

They think everything belongs to them.

But the services and jobs they’re slashing aren’t theirs—they’re ours. Our communities are paying the price while the Trumps and Musks of the world cash in.

If you’re mad about what’s happening, join us for the “Hands Off!” mass activation happening all around the country tomorrow, April 5, uniting hundreds of progressive groups in defense of our freedoms, our communities, and our planet. Find a protest near you and sign up! ✊

This is our moment to show Trump that the American people will not descend quietly into fascism. And it’s an all-in moment for the pro-democracy, pro-worker movement—a demand, a warning, and a rallying cry that responds to the primary reasons for our mobilization:

1. Trump and Musk are attempting an illegal power grab is a crisis we must stop.

2. Trump, Musk, and congressional Republicans are gutting services, raising prices, endangering our future, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and more.

3. Trump, Musk, and congressional Republicans are on this path of destruction for the benefit of their billionaire allies.

With over 1,000 events across all 50 states, you won’t be alone in the fight back this weekend, friend. So let’s show up in full force and make some good trouble—because our democracy, our rights, and our climate are worth fighting for.
