If Trump really cared about crime …

The American people are not fooled by Trump’s take over of DC. If he really cared about crime, he’d be cracking down on Birmingham, AL, St. Louis, MO, Memphis, TN and Portsmouth, VA. The big crime rates are happening in RED states, not BLUE ones.

Clearly, what he REALLY wants to do is become America’s first Dictator.

We inherited this democracy from the generations who came before us, and we had damn well better keep it safe to pass it on to the next.

Take the 4 actions below to help us stop Trump from turning OUR democracy into HIS dictatorship.

Thank you for helping us save our democracy.

4 Actions You Can Take Today:

• From 5 Calls - Stop the Deployment of US Military to Police Americans - Call your Governor and Congress people today!

• From 5 Calls - Denounce Trump's Takeover of D.C. and Demand Statehood (UPDATED 8/25) - Ask your members of Congress to support DC Statehood by co-sponsoring H.R. 51 or S. 51.

• READ this excellent article from CAP (the Center for American Progress) -President Trump’s Recent Actions in Washington, D.C., Are an Abuse of Power and Threaten Public Safety for All

• But the most POWERFUL action you can take is to join Indivisible’s ONE MILLION RISING. “It’s going to take all of us!”

  Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just single days of mass action, but sustained organizing in our communities.

  That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. - Indivisible
