Have you signed up for the RESISTANCE? MoveOn is hosting meetings Sunday, Jan. 15.

Got this this afternoon:

Dear MoveOn member,

Ten days from now, Donald Trump will be inaugurated president, and Republicans will have control of the federal government. The attacks on the American people have already started—with quick moves to repeal Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood, and dissolve the the Office of Congressional Ethics.

This moment is about more than politics. It’s about decisions that will affect all of our lives and the consequences we will have to face if we don't resist this agenda with all our strength.

This coming Sunday, all across the country, MoveOn members and our key allies are hosting community meetings to talk about what resistance looks like on the local level and to make a plan for how we’ll keep our communities safe, defend our democracy, and resist the new administration every step of the way.

And there's a meeting near you!

Will you join the resistance and attend a Community Meeting to Resist Trump in Washington this Sunday?

Yes, sign me up to attend a Community Meeting to Resist Trump near me on Sunday, January 15.


We're partnering with the Working Families Party, People's Action, and United We Dream to coordinate these gatherings where we will do more than just talk. We'll form local working groups and plan concrete actions we can take over the next few weeks and months to build our power, defend our values, and resist.

People of all ages and backgrounds are rising up to organize over 450 community meetings in more than 40 states. Here’s one that is happening near you:

on short notice, but calling for freezing rain/temperatures all weekend. Smallish town, just a couple possible places to host indoor, probably not available this close in. Will check, but not very optimistic.
