Victory over Trumpism will not be enough.

We must demand ACCOUNTABILITY.

Every last person who broke their oath and violated the law must be held accountable.

We will not yield to Trump’s authoritarian actions.

We will not yield to his assault on healthcare.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.
