Friend,

We’re more than halfway through the first 100 days of the Trump administration, and — spoiler alert — it’s been an all-out disaster.

Trump and his cronies have attacked just about every basic tenet of democracy, from the independence of the federal judiciary¹ to media access within the White House.² They’ve created hateful policies and used despicable language, leading to a spike in hate crimes,³ like the fatal shooting of two Indian engineers in Kansas,⁴ which the president took over a week to condemn.

Fight the onslaught of hate: Join the 100 Days of Disruption.

In times like these, we need every single person of conscience to rise up and resist. No action is too small in the fight for human dignity.

That’s why Free Press launched the 100 Days of Disruption — a campaign that provides you with a suggested action of resistance for each of the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

Stand up for what you believe in: Join the 100 Days of Disruption.

In the past few weeks we’ve taken a range of actions, including:

• Calling on senators to oppose Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.
• Urging the FBI to uphold transparency and truth by continuing to accept Freedom of Information Act requests via email.
• Urging Tesla CEO Elon Musk to quit Trump’s business council.
• Pushing FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and other policymakers to leave the Net Neutrality rules alone.
• Joining with MoveOn to demand a Justice Department investigation into Trump’s many financial conflicts of interest.
• Gathering public comments on Pai’s decision to limit Lifeline broadband options, a decision that disproportionately harms low-income Black and Brown communities.

It’s a challenging time, but we’re up for the fight.

Join our army of digital disrupters and we'll tell you about phone calls you can make, protests you can go to, articles to read, videos to watch, organizing opportunities and more.

Thanks for all that you do—

Collette, Lucia, Dutch, Candace and the rest of the Free Press team
