Across the nation, a grassroots movement is reigniting the fire of resistance. Under the banner “We Are Worth Fighting For,” progressive groups like MoveOn, Indivisible, Sunrise Movement, and local grassroots organizers have mobilized over 500 community meetings in 32 states. These gatherings are more than just strategy sessions—they’re a powerful call to action.
From town halls and public libraries to union halls and coffee shops, these meetings are uniting Americans who are deeply concerned about the direction of the country under Donald Trump’s second term. The threats are real: attacks on reproductive rights, the rollback of environmental protections, crackdowns on immigrant communities, erosion of voting access, and a dangerous tilt toward authoritarianism.
But this movement is pushing back—with purpose, clarity, and urgency.
Community Power in Action
The gatherings emphasize collective empowerment, connecting activists, local leaders, and concerned citizens. At each event, attendees are identifying the most pressing issues in their communities and organizing direct action campaigns—whether it's defending public education, resisting book bans, protecting LGBTQ+ youth, or opposing Trump-aligned politicians at the state level.
Workshops have included:
- How to counteract disinformation and far-right propaganda
- Building mutual aid networks
- Training on civil disobedience and protest safety
- Local campaign strategy for flipping seats in 2026
These events also offer space for healing and solidarity, a crucial element as many communities are still reeling from violence, discrimination, and the psychological toll of authoritarian rhetoric.
A New Kind of Patriotism
The message is clear: real patriotism means standing up to injustice. These gatherings aren’t just about resistance—they’re about reclaiming America’s future. One built on equity, compassion, democracy, and truth. Participants are demanding not a return to the status quo, but a transformation of the systems that enabled Trumpism in the first place.
As one organizer in Michigan put it, “We’re not here to play defense forever. We’re building a movement that lasts beyond any one administration.”
