We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.

Because let’s be clear: We do not have a functioning democracy anymore. Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.

They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.

This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.

They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.

They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.

So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.

We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.

So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.

🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.

🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.

🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.

📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.

📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.

We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

      They’re specifically referring to the amount of people who turned up. Saying thousands, when it’s actually millions, changes the power and therefore the narrative, they hope. Have a look what is being reported, vs what’s available to see, in personal accounts online. It’s a good way to notice how much is screened and changed to serve the billionaires who own the media. It’s an important thing to notice. If we had accurate reporting, and free media, not owned by billionaires with capitalist agendas. Would authoritarians even get voted in.
