TAKE ACTION NOW!
The Big Bad Bill is Trump's Declaration of War Against Democracy.
ONE MILLION RISING
Strategic Non-Cooperation T0 Fight Authoritarianism
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.
That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.
Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump.
We recommend that you sign up for all three One Million Rising sessions, even if you cannot attend them live. Each training will be recorded to be viewed on demand, and the best way to ensure you receive the recordings is registering on Mobilize.
Save Public Media
The House passed a rescission package bill, H.R. 4, which would take back funding proposed by DOGE—funding that includes $1.1 billion in public media funding previously approved for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (e.g., PBS). If the Senate also passes this bill by July 18, public broadcasting will lose the funding. Please call your Senators now and urge them to to remove this proposal from the rescissions package bill.
Read the following document for background information and ways to contact your Senators:|
5 Calls
Calling your representative is the best way to make your voice heard. Once your congressperson forms a public stance on an issue, it’s hard for them to walk it back. The earlier they hear your opinion, the more likely it is you’ll make an impact.
5 Calls makes it easy to reach your members of Congress. Features include:
- When you enter your ZIP code, 5 Calls will identify who to call and provide their phone numbers.
- Tips for calling
- After-hours voicemails are a great way to make your voice heard if you aren't comfortable talking to someone directly.
- Active topics include 19 categories containing 54 issues. For each issue, 5 Calls provides updated information, links to sources of information, and scripts that can be used when calling.
- 5 Calls has researched these issues and prepared scripts that clearly articulate a progressive opinion. Each script can be used as is or can be used in creating your own script.
- One of the scripts is to “Oppose H.R. 1, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," and many of the scripts address specific issues in the Bill.
Blue State Defiance: No Secret Police
Contact state and local Dems to demand action against masked ICE abductions. If you live in a blue state or city, your Democratic governor, mayor, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents. Our Blue State Defiance toolkit helps identify who to contact and what to call for.
You have a unique opportunity, and responsibility, to pressure your elected officials to act now. Following the example of leaders like California lawmakers behind the No Secret Police Act, you can help turn up the pressure on your governor, legislature, and city council to take concrete steps to stop Trump’s authoritarian immigration crackdown.
UPCOMING EVENTS
The following events are scheduled in addition to Rallies, standouts, and Recurring events.

Messaging for Solidarity—Race Class Narrative with Anat Shenker-Osorio

WORKSHOPPING YOUR LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Last week, we held a workshop on how to write a letter to the editor, utilizing the method of sharing your personal story with the broader world.

Now, we are coming back to workshop our letter - weaving our personal stories with the broader story of us and the story of now. Here is the presentation from the first workshop: PRESENTATION
Letters to the Editor of local and national newspapers can be a powerful way to make your voice heard.

Rural Ground Game
Every community deserves the dignity of inclusion, regardless of zip code.
In 2025, all eyes will be on Virginia. We are currently working to build new resources and opportunities for both local Democratic committees and 2025 campaigns. Our goal is to bolster the credibility and presence of Democrats through direct voter contact, strengthened by locally-developed paid media.
Holding progressive values can feel isolating in rural communities. At Rural GroundGame, we work with local partners to build community and strengthen morale by offering events, training, resources, and opportunities for coordination with others.
At kitchen tables in the cities, suburbs, and countryside, most people want to know that they can secure housing, food, healthcare, education, and a quality of life that offers dignity.
Putting people first in our approach to removing barriers to a life of security, health, and hope for the future requires us to seek solutions from every community, not only the ones in close proximity to the halls of power.
We take action by texting, having authentic conversations, and hosting events.
Visit us at ruralgroundgame.org.

PowerHour with Lean Left Vermont
If you have only one hour per week to give, be sure to choose the most effective action you can.
Virginia has critical elections this year. We’re calling rural Democrats who did not vote in 2024, asking them to share their stories about the real-world consequences of Medicaid cuts. It is crucial we reach these voters now, when we have the time to listen and they have the power to vote their values in the November election.
Join us for Lean Left's Power Hour—anytime between 4 and 6 pm—where we'll be working together to make these important calls to Virginia voters. We'll have a check-in at the end of each hour so we can share the results of our calls.
If you are new to phone banking or Scale to Win (the calling tool), we'll be in touch to set up a 30-minute training before you attend your first PowerHour.

Tesla Takedown
Elon Musk is destroying democracy around the world, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts.
Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.

Swing Blue Alliance
Indivisible group in Cambridge
Swing Blue Alliance (formerly Swing Left Greater Boston) is the largest all-volunteer Democratic grassroots organization headquartered in Massachusetts. We’re committed to protecting our democracy, working on competitive local and national elections, and expanding and strengthening the Democratic party at the grassroots level.
Working in collaboration with organizations on the ground in swing states, we design and implement actions that are helpful, impactful, measurable, and non-duplicative. Through postcard and letter writing, phone banking, fundraising, canvassing, and more, we empower local organizers around the nation, build engaged community networks, and amplify winning Democratic strategies.
The Swing Blue Alliance weekly newsletter is Massachusetts' most comprehensive resource for out-of-state electoral activism.

Commit To Democracy (CTD)
In 2016, Commit To Democracy, formerly known as Commit to Flip Blue, was founded as a grassroots organization of community activists with a deep commitment to American Democracy, the rule of law, and the rights and freedom of all Americans. Starting as a San Francisco Bay Area group, we have expanded to a national member base of over 14K volunteers passionate about electing Democrats to the Senate, House of Representatives, and the White House.
The mission of Commit To Democracy (CTD) is to help Democratic candidates retake and defend elected federal government seats across the United States and increase Democratic turnouts for all elections.
It is all hands on deck to inform and register voters and Get Out The Vote in 2025 and 2026. Our Democracy is on the line! We need every volunteer we can enlist to join us in our work.
