Almost exactly 8 years ago, just after the first Trump victory, a group of friends got together and started asking ourselves “what now?” A mix of experienced grassroots organizers and newbies, we decided to create an accessible onramp for folks new to political activism. Our vision was always that folks would “graduate” from our newsletter and find their communities and the causes that spoke to them.
We kept this up through the first Trump presidency, and then to hold Biden accountable to his progressive promises.
Today we’re back where we started, asking every one of you to take a handful of small steps to safeguard our democracy. Not one of us thinks that this will be easy. We face an emboldened Trump administration, with a landslide victory and an entire MAGA political movement at his back. What do we do now? We fight like hell, like we’ve always done. Keep loving, keep fighting. We’ll be here with you the entire time.
