America is facing an unprecedented internal threat from the regime of Trump, Musk, MAGA and Republicans. The list of harms and horrors they have committed is long and growing. There are many dangerous words to describe their goals: fascism, autocracy, dictatorship and oligarchy. And the tangible harm is unfolding in very real time. Given this horror in our midst, we-the-people must rise up and take unprecedented peaceful action to stop the Trump regime in its tracks and limit the damage until we can vote them out of power.
We must become uber-engaged citizens and also inspire our close circle of family, friends and neighbors to join the fight for our rights, our democracy and the lasting goodness of America.
A. WHAT IS A CIRCLE OF ACTION?
A circle of action is a small group of close, trusted people who engage together in peaceful citizen action to: (1) stop the Trump regime and limit the damage, (2) help Democrats win back the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms, (3) take back the White House, U.S. Senate and U.S. House in 2028 and (4) help Democrats win in local, state and national races all across our great nation!
B. HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN CIRCLE OF ACTION
- Make a list of the people in your close circle (of course, not Trump supporters). It doesn’t matter where you live!
- Call each one and ask how they are feeling about the Trump regime and listen well.
- Describe your circle of action and invite them to be part of it.
- Choose a vehicle for communication (e.g., group text, email chain, Zoom call).
- Start sharing ideas for actions with each other and take at least one action per week (calling reps, sending postcards, attending rallies, get-out-the-vote calls, donating, etc.)
- Share the results, how it went, what you learned. AND HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO DO SOMETHING! We get better, more confident and more creative as we go!

“I discovered that people are glad to volunteer their services if they themselves are part of the process, know what is happening, and what benefit there will be if they donate their help.” — Alexei Navalny (Russian dissident murdered by Putin)
