John, Trump’s new presidential memorandum, NSPM-7, brands dissent against him as terrorism.

If Trump’s plan is enforced, free speech is dead. But free speech and the right to protest are not gone yet.

We’ve seen versions of this in America before: the Sedition Act of 1798 (expired) and the Sedition Act of 1918 (repealed). Each time, the men in power sought to quell opposition and silence those who questioned how government power was being used.

And yet, the people eventually won. Because they wrote anyway. They spoke out anyway. They showed up anyway.

We can’t be quiet about this. We have to call out their moves, push back, and defend our right to dissent before it disappears. Our strength lies in our numbers, and our success comes from our volume.

But resistance takes all of us. Every voice. Every act of courage. Every small contribution keeps the fight alive. We can’t win this alone, so we are standing with folks like Blue Amp Action to get the job done.

If you are able, please consider chipping in today to support Speak Up PAC and Blue Amp Action effort to fight for our democracy >>

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation: Right-wing authoritarianism has infected democratic societies -- including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights, including voting rights! are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.
