Elevator Speech
Research shows that protests are changing minds, nudging elections, and keeping democracy alive in the face of Trump authoritarianism. This website is an effort to urge you and your neighbors to join on the second Wednesday of each month in May (14), June (11), July (9) and August (13) at your county building and PROTEST!
If you are concerned about:
- Women’s rights and a national ban on reproductive freedom

- Medicaid and Social Security on the chopping block to pay for tax breaks for the rich

- Academic freedom and the weaponizing of Antisemitism to threaten free thought
- Challenges to Democracy and Law with MAGA’s aim to suppress the vote by requiring birth certificates; the Trump Administration’s disregard of judicial orders; and the President’s violation of the Emoluments Clause as he solicits money for family businesses from the White House
- Veteran’s Medical benefits compromised by layoffs and incompetent management
