Resist Fascism

The power grab and overreach of President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party is an assault on our democracy, Constitution, and Democratic values. We must resist this fascist regime but do so peacefully. Here are some sites and/or documents that share information on how to get involved, contact your elected officials, and learn about community resources.
