Take Action

There are now three calendars available:

Resistance Calendar is always being updated. Link at the top to a form to fill out with new events.

South East Michigan Action & Mutual Aid Calendar here.

Through Mivoter.org you can find a full list of protests or just those in Oakland County, or you can submit new ones! Additionally, you can reach out to your county's Democratic party to find out about events and opportunities to help in your area.

These resources will help you find companies that support Democratic values and candidates, those that support opposing values, and those that do not make political contributions: DEI Watch, Goods Unite Us (app), Open Secrets (website), Liberal Owned Business Community (Facebook group) and Voting With Your Dollars:  Grocery Stores. You can also visit The People’s Union USA for a list of national boycotts.

Every Monday from 4-6 p.m. at M-59 and Crescent Lake Road in Waterford.

Every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. at the Tesla facility at 6800 Orchard Lake Rd. in West Bloomfield.

Tesla's sales continue to sink. Keep up the pressure by sending a message to Tesla's Board of Directors, telling them to fire Elon Musk. Click here to write a letter through Action Network's writing campaign.

Meet at the corner of 9 Mile and Woodward Ave. on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 6 p.m. to protest all of the craziness happening in Washington under the Trump administration.

Please write to Congress to help save our national parks. They are hoping to get the 1,000 people who were laid off reinstated. The parks already run underfunded, understaffed and on shoestrings by people who are dedicated to a mission of conservation. With the cuts that have already been made, it is clear that many existing facilities won’t be able to open for their season. Click on the button below for an easy way to write.

As we fight back against the actions of the Trump Administration, find a cause you believe in and support groups that are challenging them in court. There is something for everyone since Trump’s use of executive orders threatens so much—liberty, free speech, academic freedom, science, the environment, the transgender community and so much more. A few suggestions:

ACLU—Well-established. Fighting many battles.

Democracy Forward—Established by lawyers after the 2016 election.

Southern Poverty Law Center—Fighting for racial justice in an era when white nationalism is on the rise.

LAMBDA Legal—Supporting the LBGQT community.

NRDC—Long-time warrior fighting climate change and protecting the environment.

Don’t forget to pay for some news—accurate in-depth journalism is threatened. TV news has shown its weaknesses. Bridge Michigan is a great resource and AP news now takes donations. Politico, The Guardian and Wired all need money to continue investigative journalism. This list is not exhaustive.

There will be PEACEFUL demonstrations of our frustration with the current administration around the country. Let everyone know that we are STILL a country that believes in equal application of the law, accountability, and respect for our neighbors - no matter where they were born.
