James,
Memorial Day is rapidly approaching…and Donald Trump is spending it scaling up his plans to send 7,000 American troops into our nation's capital – to lead a tank parade celebrating his birthday. Make no mistake: rather than paying sincere tribute to those who sacrifice for our country, Trump is focused on pulling off a spectacle of ego and authoritarian display.
Let us be clear – lining Pennsylvania Avenue with tanks and soldiers is NOT how America honors troops. Holding extravagant military spectacles to glorify a sitting president is something dictators and monarchs do – not elected leaders in a democracy.
That’s why Our Revolution is rapidly mobilizing our 57,000 strong Citizen Action Team to send Trump a clear, unequivocal message: you are NOT king.
As Trump rolls tanks through the streets, we’ll be protesting in a MASSIVE national action—with more than 700 protests coast to coast. We’re organizing dozens of these events for a ‘No Kings Day of Defiance’ to drown out Trump's shameful authoritarian parade. Can you chip in $5 today to make it possible?

While Trump spends lavish sums to stroke his ego with tanks, fighter jets, and fireworks, he has quietly gutted federal programs, disproportionately hurting military families – including thousands of veterans struggling to earn stable incomes to support their families.
This hypocrisy is staggering and unacceptable.
Memorial Day should honor sacrifice, heroism, and patriotism – not the vanity of a leader who would use our military and taxpayer funds as political props. Trump's tank show is an insult to the very troops he claims to honor. It’s a slap in the face to veteran families devastated by budget cuts he's directly responsible for.
That’s exactly why Our Revolution is organizing a massive grassroots action to drown out this authoritarian spectacle. But protests of this magnitude take major resources – can we count on you to donate today to fuel our work to show Trump that our democracy is more powerful than tanks rolling down our streets?
History tells us silence in the face of authoritarian tendencies allows them to grow bolder. So let us stand proudly and loudly together now before it's too late.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
