“What can i do?”
We built a club to answer that question. Each month, we give you options to fight back — peacefully, lawfully, and defiantly — against attacks on democracy. You choose what missions to support. Then we take action together.
A club for courageous Americans.

NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE THE WHITE HOUSE FOR POLITICAL RETALIATION.
We will stand together against it.
And we must defend one another when attacked.
FEATURED ACTION
get congress to stand up
RepresentUs has launched the Congressional Courage Campaign to urge representatives to hold the Executive Branch accountable. This nationwide, nonpartisan effort is focused on ensuring lawmakers reclaim Congress’s authority and serve their constituents, not their wallets or special interests. As the Trump administration and its allies abuse power, we must push our representatives to stand up, do their jobs, and defend our democracy.
Where You Can Take Action

Why We Like This
RepresentUs has a proven record of uniting Americans across the political spectrum for accountable government. With high-profile supporters like Michael Douglas and Jennifer Lawrence, the organization can reach and educate millions on the issues and turn that awareness into meaningful grassroots action.
FEATURED ACTION
TAKE TRUMP
TO COURT
Democracy Defenders Fund (DDF) is at the forefront of lawsuits defending against authoritarianism and political retribution. When the regime abuses power and breaks the law, DDF sues them. They’ve been at the center of cases to protect federal workers who’ve been fired, critics who’ve been muzzled, and groups who’ve been persecuted.

Why We Like This
The courts have been one of the few guardrails that — so far — have limited the ability of the White House to retaliate against law firms, universities, industries, individual critics, nonprofits, and beyond.
FEATURED ACTION
defend TARGETS OF REVENGE
WhistleblowerAid.org comes to the rescue of truth-tellers. This remarkable nonprofit helps whistleblowers who’ve exposed government wrongdoing — safely, legally, and effectively. From national security insiders to public health officials, they safeguard and empower the voices Trump wants silenced.
Where You Can Take Action
https://whistlebloweraid.org
Why We Like This
Whistleblowers are often the first line of defense against abuse of power. But under Trump, they’ve been fired, investigated, and threatened. Whistleblower Aid helps protect them through legal representation, public advocacy, trusted reporting, along with wrap-around services including physical and cyber security.

From the mean streets to the halls of power, Robert De Niro has always stood up to bullies. His newest role? Defying Trump — and daring the rest of us to do the same.
