We Choose to Fight: The Benefits of Activism and Why You Should Act Now
In times of crisis, activism has proven to be one of the most powerful tools available to those who seek change. It’s not just about protests or petitions—it’s about building a movement where collective action can defend our rights, hold those in power accountable, and protect the future of our democracy. Right now, we need to activate that power, and it starts with you.
This week is critical. Our communities are under attack as President Trump and Elon Musk collaborate to strip away public resources, gut federal agencies, and consolidate power in the hands of a right-wing elite. The nomination of Russell Vought, the architect of Project 2025, would supercharge their plan and deepen the crisis. But together, we can fight back.
Here’s why activism is essential and how you can take action this week to help stop the Vought nomination and prevent this unconstitutional power grab.
The Benefits of Activism
Protects Democracy:
Activism ensures that those in power are held accountable. Whether it’s marching in the streets or meeting directly with senators, these actions remind lawmakers that they serve the people, not the powerful elite. Without activism, corruption thrives unchecked.Strengthens Communities:
Activism brings people together, fostering unity in the face of challenges. By organizing office visits, making calls, or attending protests, you are creating a collective force that cannot be ignored.Drives Change:
Every major movement in history—civil rights, women’s suffrage, environmental protection—was driven by activism. When we fight, we change laws, elect better leaders, and build systems that serve us all.Empowers Individuals:
Getting involved allows you to take control and push back against feelings of helplessness. Taking action, even in small ways, boosts confidence and shows that every voice matters.Creates Ripple Effects:
One act of activism can inspire others. By recording your efforts, sharing them online, and bringing friends along, you can expand the movement and generate momentum that forces change.
This Week’s Action: STATE OFFICE VISIT
We are facing a constitutional crisis, and the Senate must act now. Between Sunday, February 2, and Thursday, February 6, plan a visit to your senator’s office to demand they take action against the nomination of Russell Vought and the Trump-Musk funding freeze. Here’s how you can help:
Why It Matters:
Russell Vought, as OMB Director, would have the power to implement Project 2025, a plan designed to strip funding from federal programs and transfer public resources to private, wealthy hands. His confirmation would cement Trump and Musk’s agenda to dismantle our government and steal from everyday people.
How to Take Action:
1. Plan an In-Person Visit:
Visit your senator’s office with a group or on your own. Bring posters, props, and anything to get their attention. Record your visit, take pictures, and post them online to show the world that real pressure is being applied.
2. Demand Action:
Ask your senators to:
Deny a Quorum: Without 51 votes, Senate business can be shut down.
Block Unanimous Consent: Object to any procedural shortcuts.
Max Out Debate Time: Use the full 30 hours to expose the power grab and funding freeze.
Delay and Disrupt: Force procedural delays to slow the process.
Oppose Blanket Nominees: Stop voting for other Trump nominees who help further MAGA’s power consolidation.
Abandon Business as Usual: Treat this as the constitutional crisis it is.
3. Share Online:
Post your visits and activism under hashtags like #DefendDemocracy, #StopVought, and #Indivisible. Let others know that people are rising up and demanding action.
Why Indivisible Matters:
Indivisible is a grassroots organization fighting to protect democracy and empower citizens to take meaningful action. They provide tools, guidance, and resources to make your activism effective. Contact them with any questions or to get involved in larger organized efforts.
Together, We Can Turn the Tide
The stakes are high. The Trump-Musk plan is not just about budget cuts—it’s about shifting power away from the people and into the hands of a select few. But we have the power to stop this. By visiting your senators’ offices, making your voices heard, and refusing to back down, we can show that democracy will not be gutted on our watch.
Take action today. Plan your visit, bring friends, and demand that your senators fight for us by blocking the Vought nomination. When we act together, we are unstoppable.
Let’s turn up the heat and fight for the democracy we deserve.
