REMOVE THE REGIME!

CONGRESSIONAL VISITS ● MARCH ● RALLY It’s past time to converge on our Nation’s Capital.   It’s past time to show that We the People mean business.  Our presence is our power, and this time we’re showing up with firm demands and intend to change history.  Remove the Regime is the moment we’ve been waiting for. This is not a 50-state protest.  On November 22, 2025, we will peacefully descend on the seat of power in Washington, DC to demand unmistakably that this lawless administration come to an END. We will no longer tolerate inaction or delay from elected officials as Donald Trump commits actual treason.  We are calling out their complicity in the sabotage of American democracy unless and until they honor their oath. We are demanding impeachment and removal, and we are demanding it NOW. We will be joined by movement leaders, veterans, musicians, comedians, pastors, farmers, social media influencers and more. The Dropkick Murphys will headline our

We are All DC: A National March

DC communities are powerful, connected, and under attack. Federal troops, out-of-state National Guard, and Trump controlled police are harassing, surveilling, and detaining Black and Brown residents, immigrants, youth, and unhoused neighbors. DC communities are calling on allies nationwide to join us on Saturday, September 6 for a national march from our local communities to the White House to demand that the federal forces leave DC now. Register on the website to let them know you’ll be there.

“Siri, Am I Being Watched?”: Protest Safety 101 Part Two

Let me be blunt: your phone is a narc. Honestly, I didn’t always know that. I used to march into protests with my iPhone glowing like a neon beacon for surveillance agents sitting in a cubicle somewhere, watching my every move. Bluetooth on, headphones in, Snapchat mapping my location, Instagram open and Face ID at the ready. With my location tracking lit up like a Christmas tree, I was practically gift-wrapped for every government agency within Wi-Fi range. That was before I learned what real digital safety looks like, and long before I stopped trusting convenience over caution. Before I realized that in the fight for justice, your data can be a weapon used against you, or a shield you wield intentionally and wisely. This isn’t a tech manual at all, that’s definitely not in my wheelhouse. However, this is a field guide for anyone who’s ever stepped onto the streets in defense of justice and freedom, who’s ever held
