Dear MoveOn member,
This Saturday, in just four days, millions of people in every corner of the country will join more than 3,000 nonviolent No Kings protests, rallies, and demonstrations with a powerful message: This country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants; it belongs to us.
We're in the final push to make Saturday's No Kings the biggest day of protest in modern American history. But even more important than a single day of protest is sustaining mass participation in the movement against authoritarianism over time—because relentless grassroots resistance is the only way we will win.
Will you start a monthly $5 donation to ensure MoveOn is not only fully prepared to make Saturday a historic day in the fight against tyranny but can also absorb and retain hundreds of thousands of new people into our movement? Saturday is important—but even more important is sustaining the movement in the months ahead.
Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
You might be wondering: Can protests really make a difference right now?
The answer is a resounding yes.
Maria Stephan, a political scientist and expert in defeating authoritarianism, explained in MoveOn's No Kings movement call last week that mass, diverse participation involving people from many different walks of life is critical to the success of pro-democracy movements.1
And mobilizing millions of people of every creed and color is exactly what No Kings does.
Each No Kings Day has gotten bigger and spread to more towns and communities across the country—from big liberal cities to small conservative towns that many wouldn't have expected.
Here's what mass mobilizations do:
-
They change the narrative. When thousands show up in every corner of the country, we disrupt the Trump administration's attempt to project inevitability and strength. We show that resistance isn't fringe—it's everywhere and it's growing.
-
They bring new people into the movement. Events like this reach neighbors who aren't yet engaged. They help people take that first step and connect with others in their community who are ready to act.
-
They build courage. When people see so many others in the streets, it gives them permission to speak up in their own lives—with family, at work, in their communities. Courage truly is contagious. And right now, we need it spreading everywhere.
-
They give us renewed hope. Saturday will be filled with joy—music, dance, chants, speeches, and solidarity. When you see thousands of others who refuse to accept tyranny as normal, you remember that change is possible and that together, we still have the power to shape what comes next.
Saturday will be the spark that brings countless new people into our movement. Then, it's up to us to absorb these new activists, train them, and ensure they remain committed and engaged in the fight for the long haul.
Can you start a monthly donation of $5? Your ongoing contribution will help cover the final expenses for Saturday's protests, ensure we are able to absorb thousands of new activists into the movement, and power the long-term organizing we need to topple the tide of authoritarianism.
Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Andra, none of what we are living through is normal.
The abuse of power. The lies. The corruption. The wars. The masked men terrorizing our neighborhoods and now airports.
And that's why Saturday matters so much.
When millions of people across 3,000 communities gather on the same day, someone afraid will find courage. Someone alone will find community. Someone ready to give up will decide to keep going. And all of us will remember we're capable of far more than Donald Trump wants us to believe.
That's how movements change history.
Times are tough for many, and you may not be able to chip in in response to every email you get. But if you can, please start a monthly $5 donation to MoveOn today. Your sustaining contribution isn't charity—it's a powerful method of organizing. MoveOn's campaigns against authoritarianism cannot survive without reliable grassroots financial contributions.
Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover intensifies every day—but history shows that authoritarian regimes crumble when just 3.5% of people rise up together in sustained resistance. That's why MoveOn is helping mobilize millions, from massive No Kings protests to our nonstop work to get ICE out of our neighborhoods. This moment demands mass, disciplined, people-powered resistance, and MoveOn can reach, train, and organize at a scale unmatched in the progressive movement. Will you chip in to fuel this urgent and critical organizing?
