This week there are over 775 protests. Outside of national protest weeks like May Day or No Kings, we have never seen this many. Weekday protests are growing, as are weekend actions.
And there are signs that our work is making a difference; however, we cannot relent. We must continue to apply more pressure. More calls. More protests. More sit-ins. More dissent.
NATIONAL ACTIONS
JUNE 26 | Families First
Across the nation in about 100 cities, groups are gathering to stand with families. According to the organizer, “On Saturday, July 26th, American families in every corner of the country will come together in peaceful marches, rallies and events to say: our families come first, and we will protect each other.”
