Turn Purple 2 Blue

Fight the Trump Takeover
2025-08-14 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
he Texas House Democrats are denying quorum to stop the Trump takeover of our state and block his attempt to rig the 2026 midterm elections. But Trump isn’t stopping in Texas. He’s targeting Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and every state he can twist to help him steal Congress next year. States like California and New York are starting to fight back.

Let’s be clear: this fight started in Texas, but it doesn’t end there. It’s about the future of our democracy. Trump knows that he can’t win on his ideas so he is trying to steal congress – and he’s doing it by silencing the voices of communities of color. We’re not going to let that happen.

That’s why we’re organizing a National Day of Action on Saturday, August 16, to fight back against the Trump takeover of our country.

Texas will lead with an anchor rally at the Capitol in Austin. Across the country, we’re asking people to show up at their state houses, city halls, or community spaces and make it clear — we see what Trump is doing, and we won’t stand for it.

Join our national mobilization and planning call this Thursday, August 14 at 8pm ET to learn more about how you can get involved and why we’re fighting back.

Black Tie Protest
2025-08-15 16:30 - 19:30 | Cafe Escadrille, 26 Cambridge St, Burlington, Massachusetts
The owner of the Burlington ICE facility and Cafe Escadrille has not cooperated with the town to allow inspections.

Neither the owner nor ICE have responded to Burlington’s request for an inspection. Sometimes there is not even enough room to lie down to sleep on the cement floors. Food if it comes is sporadic and unappealing. People are not supposed to be detained in this facility. A fancy dress protest draws attention to the lack of due process and inhumane conditions.

Fight The Trump Takeover Rally-Framingham
2025-08-16 11:00 - 13:00 | The Memorial Building (City Hall), 150 Concord St., Framingham, Massachusetts, 01702
The Texas House Democrats are denying quorum to stop the Trump takeover of Texas and block his attempt to rig the 2026 midterm elections. But Trump isn’t stopping in Texas. He’s targeting Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and every state he can twist to help him steal Congress next year. States like California and New York are starting to fight back.

RSVP for Updates

Let’s be clear: this fight started in Texas, but it doesn’t end there. This isn’t just about redistricting or one state’s politics. It’s about the future of our democracy. Trump is terrified of the American people. He knows he can’t win on his ideas, so he’s trying to take Congress by hook or by crook–and he’s doing it by silencing the voices of communities of color. We’re not going to let that happen.

That’s why we’re organizing a National Day of Action, on Saturday, August 16, to fight back against the Trump takeover of our country.

Texas will lead with an anchor rally at the Capitol in Austin. Across the country, we’re asking people to show up at their state houses, city halls, or community spaces and make it clear — we see what Trump is doing, and we won’t stand for it.

Please note: A core principle behind our Fight the Trump Takeover actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
