John,

In his ongoing assault on free speech and political dissent, Donald Trump just signed an unconstitutional executive order to follow through on his promise to designate ‘antifa’ as a domestic terrorist organization.

The New York Times: Trump Signs Order Targeting Antifa Movement; President Trump's executive order threatened to prosecute donors who support antifascist philosophy and issued a domestic terrorism designation that doesn't exist under U.S. law.

We know that ‘antifa’ isn’t a singular entity or organization. So who does this executive order actually target? The answer is, all of us.

As many are pointing out, this order is written in a way that considers anyone who protests at ICE detention centers or films ICE agents disappearing people off the streets in their communities to be a domestic terrorist.

This is another dangerous step to criminalize political dissent and roll back our freedom of speech, John.

Trump and his extremist goons like Stephen Miller want to be able to label any left-wing group or activist they don’t like as ‘antifa’ and use their power to criminalize and punish them. This is what authoritarian governments do.

We need to be ready in case this fascist administration sets its sights on us or our allies. If you can, please contribute $5 or more to build our grassroots resources and help ensure we’re prepared for whatever comes next.

Contribute $5

In solidarity,
