In the weeks following President Donald Trump’s inauguration, we have seen the harms that his policies cause people around the world and the danger his actions represent for our civil liberties. Trump’s use of executive power has prompted the protest and defiance of millions, echoing the voices of many who know that our basic American values are being tested by our president.
The ACLU will continue to defend our basic freedoms and hold this administration accountable for every unlawful or unconstitutional measure they propose. We will use the courts as one avenue to aggressively advance our agenda, but we cannot do it alone.
That is why the ACLU is launching a major new grassroots mobilization platform, PeoplePower.org, in response to the growing number of people who believe that Trump’s actions cannot go unchallenged.
We’ve hired a group of digital organizers who have worked with activist groups, the White House, and Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign to help build and launch PeoplePower.org. With this platform, we hope to help organize the mass resistance to President Trump’s bankrupt policies. With a nationwide presence through our 50-plus state affiliates, the ACLU is well-positioned to take on the incredible responsibility of grassroots organizing coast to coast. This type of program is new for us at ACLU, but it is necessary if we are going to overcome the Trump administration’s attempts to curtail civil rights and eventually advance a 21st century civil liberties agenda.
On March 11, the ACLU will hold a “Resistance Training” town hall in Miami, Florida. An email ask went out today to the organization’s over 2.5 million members to organize thousands of grassroots events in communities across the country to watch the ACLU town hall. Full details on the training are forthcoming.
PeoplePower.org will use digital tools to communicate with and help train volunteers to resist President Trump’s unlawful policies across the country. The ACLU will promote ideas for action to defend sanctuary cities, resist deportation raids, oppose the Muslim Ban, maintain Planned Parenthood funding, and support other priorities. But the program will also seek to amplify organic, bottom-up grassroots actions. PeoplePower.org will be a one-stop hub for everyone looking to influence the national debate.
We ask you to join us as we build communities ready to resist Trump’s agenda and to protect our constitutional rights. The fight may not be easy, but it will be worth it.
Plotting an insurrection is sedition isn’t it?
“What can we do to oppose them? “
The opposition is already in place. The racist BLM sent one of their big chiefs down to South Carolina to organize the riff-raff. He got arrested for attempted murder and is facing 10 to 20 years in state prison.
How’s that for opposition?
The ACLU jackwagons never got in a twist about Obama abusing executive power. Screw them. Trump so far has used executive power in a Constitutional manner. The ACLU just doesn't like that.
The Harm caused around The World..!?!
Perhaps change Your Name. and
GTFOOMC !
Burning cars and beating up people.
I had been seriously thinking of contacting the ACLU about bringing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the American people against the DOJ, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, et al, for using our money they took in all their lawsuits (their slush fund and dispensing it to only left wing groups and none to right wing groups, to pay the American people perhaps in the form of rebates on their insurance bills or paying back the Social Security Administration for the money they have taken from our senior citizens.
We need to start using this taxpayer funded organization to benefit ALL Americans, not just the left wing-dings
” On March 11, the ACLU will hold a “Resistance Training” town hall “
This is a Soros operation.
