Unite. Resist. Reclaim: Fighting Back Against the Trump Agenda

As the Trump administration tightens its grip on America, the threats to democracy, bodily autonomy, and civil rights continue to grow. This is not just another election cycle—it’s a coordinated assault on the very fabric of a free and just society. But amid the chaos, one thing is clear: the resistance is alive, and it’s rising.

Resistance Rising 2025 is more than a slogan. It’s a movement. A call to action. A rallying cry for every person who refuses to be silenced, divided, or intimidated. We are building a coalition of organizers, artists, activists, and everyday citizens who understand that the fight ahead demands unity, urgency, and unwavering courage.


The Trump Administration’s Dangerous Agenda:

Donald Trump’s return to power has unleashed a second wave of policies aimed at dismantling progress across every major front:

  • Reproductive rights: Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and states across the country are implementing total or near-total abortion bans, criminalizing doctors, and targeting those who seek care.
  • LGBTQ+ rights: Trans rights are under relentless attack, with anti-trans laws and bathroom bans spreading rapidly across red states.
  • Immigration: ICE raids, family separations, and asylum restrictions are once again being normalized under a banner of “law and order.”
  • Voting rights: Voter suppression laws are being passed under the guise of “election security,” disenfranchising marginalized communities.
  • Environmental protections: Climate policy has been gutted, public lands are being sold off, and the fossil fuel industry is emboldened like never before.
  • Education and free speech: Book bans, curriculum restrictions, and attacks on public education have turned classrooms into ideological battlegrounds.

This is not governance—it is authoritarianism in slow motion. And it is up to all of us to stop it.


The Power of Collective Resistance:

The good news? We are not powerless. In every corner of the country, people are rising up.

  • Grassroots organizers are mobilizing voters, challenging unjust laws, and building local coalitions.
  • Legal advocates are defending reproductive freedom and civil liberties in the courts.
  • Mutual aid networks are growing, meeting community needs where the government has failed.
  • Artists, writers, and educators are reclaiming culture and amplifying truth.

Change will not come from a single leader or political party. It will come from a united movement that refuses to yield.


Featured Post: Reproductive Rights Post-Roe—State-by-State Resistance

In our latest blog post, we dive deep into the new frontline of the post-Roe era. As abortion access vanishes in dozens of states, local resistance networks have sprung into action. From underground clinics and safe house networks to abortion funds and digital telehealth prescriptions, the fight for bodily autonomy is evolving.

Key themes include:

  • How state laws differ and where access still exists
  • The legal risks and workarounds for cross-state travel and mail-order pills
  • The rise of encrypted networks for abortion seekers
  • The role of mutual aid, donations, and community clinics in bridging the gap

Read the full article and explore how you can help fund and protect reproductive freedom. This isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s a human rights emergency.

Call to Action:

This moment demands more than outrage. It demands action.

  • Share verified information and reject propaganda.
  • Support local and national organizing efforts.
  • Donate to abortion funds, trans safety networks, and mutual aid groups.
  • Show up at protests, council meetings, and the polls.
  • Build community—not just online, but face to face.

We are the majority. But only if we act like it.


Conclusion:

History has shown us that authoritarian regimes do not fall on their own. They are brought down by movements—by people like us, who refuse to let injustice become normal.

This is our time.
This is our fight.
This is Resistance Rising 2025.

The Return of Christian Nationalism—and the New Underground Church


In the shadow of Trump’s return to power, a dangerous ideology has resurfaced with renewed force: white Christian nationalism. Once considered a fringe movement, it is now embedded in the highest levels of government, media, and lawmaking circles. This resurgence isn’t just about religion—it’s about power, identity, and control. But while this movement expands, a new kind of resistance is growing in response: an underground network of progressive, faith-driven activists and communities determined to stand against the hijacking of both religion and democracy.

What is Christian Nationalism?

Christian nationalism is not simply about personal faith. It is a political ideology that fuses a narrow interpretation of Christianity—often white, conservative, and male-dominated—with nationalism. Its advocates claim that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and should be governed by “biblical law.” In practice, it manifests as attacks on reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, public education, separation of church and state, and racial justice.

Under the current Trump-led regime, Christian nationalism has moved from the margins to the mainstream. We see it in Supreme Court decisions. We see it in state legislation criminalizing abortion and censoring school curriculums. We see it in sermons that conflate Trump with divine destiny. This is not spirituality—it is theocratic authoritarianism disguised as patriotism.

The Real Threat to Democracy

What makes Christian nationalism particularly dangerous is its ability to mask extremism as moral righteousness. Its leaders claim persecution when challenged, framing their political domination as religious freedom. In doing so, they delegitimize pluralism, demonize opposition, and radicalize followers against democratic institutions.

From “Bible-burning liberals” to “groomer teachers,” the rhetoric used by far-right Christian nationalists fuels conspiracy theories and encourages political violence. The January 6 Capitol riot was not just an act of sedition—it was a religiously infused insurrection, complete with crosses, prayers, and banners proclaiming Jesus as “King of America.”

The goal is not coexistence—it is total cultural and political domination under a singular, exclusionary vision of faith.

A New Underground Church

But this is not the full story. Across the country, a counter-movement is taking shape, driven by people of faith who refuse to let Christianity be used as a weapon.

Progressive Christians, interfaith communities, queer theologians, and justice-driven clergy are reclaiming the moral narrative. They are speaking out from pulpits, organizing across denominations, hosting underground services, and offering sanctuary to the most vulnerable.

This new “underground church” is not hidden out of fear—it is underground because it refuses to conform to the corrupt religious-political establishment. It challenges the idea that Christian values mean exclusion, control, or silence. It preaches a gospel of liberation, not domination. And it walks alongside movements for racial justice, reproductive freedom, environmental action, and LGBTQ+ equality.

How We Fight Back

To push back against Christian nationalism, we must first understand that the battle is not religion versus secularism—it is democracy versus authoritarian theocracy. The resistance must include both the faithful and the faithless, united in defending the rights of all people to live free from religious coercion.

Here’s how we move forward:

  • Expose the ideology: Call out Christian nationalism for what it is. Do not let it hide behind faith-based language.
  • Support progressive faith leaders: Elevate the voices of pastors, rabbis, imams, and others who stand against religious extremism.
  • Fund community defense: Invest in grassroots organizations, abortion funds, and legal groups working on the frontlines of religious-political repression.
  • Educate yourself and others: Share articles, host discussions, and keep this issue in the public eye.
  • Vote and organize: From school boards to Congress, every level of government matters in this fight.

This is a defining moment. If we allow Christian nationalism to continue unchecked, the consequences will be catastrophic—not just for religious freedom, but for democracy itself. But if we resist, build, and unite, we can create something better.

A future where faith is not a tool of oppression, but a force for justice.

 The Resistance Is Now: Uniting Against the Trump Agenda

In times of crisis, resistance is not a choice—it’s a responsibility.

As the Trump administration tightens its grip on American institutions, civil liberties, and environmental protections, a growing movement is rising to push back. From grassroots organizers to youth activists, from courtroom battles to direct actions in the streets, ordinary people are uniting in extraordinary ways. This is not just about partisan politics. It is about defending democracy, human rights, and the very survival of our planet.

The return of Trumpism has been marked by a relentless assault on truth, science, equity, and the rule of law. Whether it’s dismantling environmental safeguards, inciting violence with hateful rhetoric, or stacking the courts with ideologues bent on rolling back decades of progress, this administration’s agenda poses a real and immediate threat to American values and global stability.

We cannot afford to normalize this behavior. We cannot afford to be passive.

This is the era of active resistance.

Standing Against Cruelty, Corruption, and Climate Collapse

While the administration doubles down on fossil fuel extraction, deregulation, and climate denial, a new generation is rising to say: Enough.

This week on the blog, we profile young climate activists taking bold action in “Eco-Justice Meets Resistance: Fighting Climate Apathy with Direct Action.” These leaders are not waiting for permission. They are blocking pipelines, interrupting fossil fuel auctions, and connecting the climate crisis to a larger web of racial, economic, and social injustice. They understand that fighting for the planet means fighting against a political system that prioritizes profit over people.

Climate justice is not a side issue—it is central to the resistance. And the youth on the frontlines are modeling the kind of courage and clarity the rest of us need to follow.

Resistance Is Collective

This movement isn't just about individual protests or social media posts—it’s about collective pressure, systemic change, and refusing to normalize authoritarianism in any form. Resistance takes many shapes: organizing communities, supporting independent media, disrupting systems of oppression, showing up at school board meetings, and refusing to be silenced.

It’s time to:

  • Challenge the lies and hold truth to power.
  • Defend marginalized voices and protect hard-won rights.
  • Build coalitions across movements—climate, labor, racial justice, reproductive rights, and democratic reform.
  • Fight not just for what we’re against—but for the future we want to build.

We Will Not Go Back

The stakes are high. From voter suppression to environmental deregulation, from attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities to the erosion of public education—this is a full-spectrum assault on progress. But across the country, resistance is taking root. The people are rising, the message is clear, and the fire is spreading.

History is watching. Future generations will ask where we stood and what we did.

Let our answer be loud, organized, and unapologetic.

Check out our latest blog post, “Eco-Justice Meets Resistance: Fighting Climate Apathy with Direct Action,” and explore how young leaders are refusing to stay silent in the face of climate collapse and political cowardice.

Resisting the Rise: Why We Must Unite Against the Trump Agenda

The return of Donald Trump to the national stage marks more than a political comeback — it signals a calculated, dangerous assault on the values of democracy, equality, and justice. From sweeping anti-LGBTQ+ legislation to restrictions on reproductive rights, from book bans to the criminalization of dissent, we are witnessing the steady normalization of authoritarian tactics cloaked in populist rhetoric.

Resistance Rising 2025 was born out of necessity. This is not just a blog. It is a movement. A collective. A platform to amplify truth, expose corruption, and support the individuals and communities who are standing on the frontlines of the fight for America’s soul.


The Trump Agenda: Divide, Control, Erase

The current wave of far-right policymaking is not random — it is strategic. The Trump-aligned movement has centered its ideology on the following:

  • Undermining democratic institutions by attacking elections, the judiciary, and the press.
  • Criminalizing queer, trans, and nonbinary existence, especially in southern and midwestern states.
  • Stripping away reproductive autonomy, with the goal of establishing state-level control over people’s bodies.
  • Erasing history and education through book bans, whitewashed curriculums, and anti-CRT hysteria.
  • Stoking fear and violence by scapegoating immigrants, protestors, and marginalized groups.

This is not conservatism. This is extremism. And we must meet it with clarity, urgency, and unity.


Our Mission: Stand Up. Fight Back. Unite.

At Resistance Rising 2025, we are committed to:

  • Exposing the cruelty and corruption of Trump-aligned officials and their enablers.
  • Uplifting grassroots resistance, particularly from marginalized communities who are too often silenced or overlooked.
  • Providing resources and tools for organizing, advocacy, and education.
  • Creating a digital home for the resistance — where we don’t just complain, we mobilize.

Featured Blog Post:

“Queer Resistance in the South: Stories from the Frontlines”

In our latest piece, we turn our spotlight toward the courageous LGBTQ+ organizers working in hostile states like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Mississippi. These individuals are not just surviving — they are fighting for visibility, dignity, and the right to exist.

From underground networks of support to courtroom battles against anti-trans laws, these stories reveal both the brutality of state-led discrimination and the resilience of those who resist it.

This post is more than a feature. It’s a reminder that the queer community has always been at the forefront of liberation movements — and their fight is our fight.


What You Can Do

  • Read and share our blog to help amplify suppressed voices.
  • Follow local organizers and contribute to mutual aid funds.
  • Challenge disinformation on social media and in your community.
  • Register, organize, and vote — at every level.
  • Support national coalitions fighting back in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets.

We are the majority. We are diverse. We are loud. And we are done being polite about our survival.
