John, Trump
is rapidly expanding his “war from within” to control cities around the
country with troop deployments and threats to invoke the Insurrection Act
to militarize more soldiers against the same people they’ve sworn to
protect.[ [link removed] ]
These are the moves of a dictator. But if Trump’s bringing “war” to our
communities, we’ll respond with solutions rooted in human rights, justice,
and peace.
We won’t let Trump trample on our rights without MASSIVE resistance.
That’s why Win Without War is expanding our Know-Your-Rights billboard
campaign to ensure servicemembers have access to resources when confronted
with unethical or illegal orders.
[1]Billboard: ARMY NATIONAL GUARD YOU JOINED TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY. SO
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN CHICAGO?Win Without War’s new digital billboard on
I-57, which connects downtown Chicago to the base where the Texas National
Guard are stationed
We’ve got to act fast: After deploying the National Guard to DC, Trump has
issued similar orders in Chicago, Memphis, Portland, and beyond.

safe and push back on Trump’s authoritarian moves. Please, donate $20 to
help us get more billboards up and ensure servicemembers know their rights

When Trump deployed the National Guard to DC, Win Without War jumped into
action. We launched mobile and highway billboards in the capital and
outside Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, urging
servicemembers to reflect on whether playing a role in Trump’s violent
brand of authoritarianism and deportation machine is what they signed up
for.

Our billboards have received national attention in the press, and more
than 13,000 people (and counting!) have already visited the site for
information and resources within days of it going live.
That’s not all: Our simple questions also struck a nerve with the
Pentagon’s Press Secretary and got the attention of right-wing media like
the Daily Caller, along with military outlets like Task & Purpose. But the
goal of this campaign was never clicks or clapbacks.
Our mission was, and remains, to defend our democracy and our communities
— your community. Slowly but surely, it’s working. Even after a
months-long attempt to dismantle it at every level, Trump still hasn’t
changed the fact that we live in a democracy.
With the stakes so high, we can’t afford to give up one inch. That’s why
Win Without War is expanding our Know-Your-Rights billboard campaign to
reach as many servicemembers as possible when Trump tries to turn our
communities into “training grounds for [the] military.”[1]
Getting new billboards live and preparing for whatever’s next won’t come
cheap or without incredible risk. Luckily, we don’t work alone. Our work
depends on grassroots donations from people like you, activists across the
country donating what they can afford to strengthen a movement strong
enough to push back. So we have to ask:
[ [link removed] ]Will you rush a donation to help expand Win Without War’s campaign in
response to Trump’s continued attacks on our communities? The more money
we can raise today, the more places we can put billboards up to keep this
campaign going, defend our democracy, and build a safer future.

Trump’s domestic troop deployments are part of an expansive, likely
illegal abuse of power that includes profiling, arresting, and detaining
people without warrants, unleashing the Department of Justice against
foundations that support democracy and human rights, leveraging the
Federal Communications Commission to silence criticism, and waging an
unnecessary, dangerous war in the Caribbean.
But folks like you aren’t giving in to Trump’s relentless march toward
authoritarianism. Our vision for a world where people live and thrive free
from violence is still possible when people like us do all we can, in ways
big and small, to make it happen.
Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
