Subject: I just signed this petition – will you?
There’s a lot of uncertainty ahead – for our country, our democracy, and our rights.
But here’s one thing we know for sure – we must immediately prepare to push back against Trump's anti-democracy Project 2025 agenda.
We can’t stand by in silence as our democracy is dismantled.
I just signed a Common Cause petition to urge Congress, the Judiciary, and state leaders to REJECT Trump's dangerous Project 2025 agenda.
I hope that you will add your name, too.
This action is sponsored by: Civic Shout, Common Cause, DemCast USA, Democracy for America Advocacy Fund, Food & Water Watch, National Campaign for Justice, Progress America, TakeItBack.Org, The Juggernaut Project, The Workers Circle, and Voter Action Project.
If you’re not on a list of people to harass, terrorize, abuse, or possibly deport in the Trump administration, make sure you are are on one of those by signing this public petition! /s
I’m actually joking, because letting that kind of fear stop us is how they’ve won so far and how they’ll win in the future, unless we stop being afraid of the consequences of living in a corrupt USA and speaking truth to power.
Considering that (insofar as I can tell) literally just a petition and nothing more, your joke actually sounds pretty accurate to me.
The only way this’ll do good is if a miracle occurs and it becomes ludicrously successful. In any realistic scenario, all it does is make a convenient list of people the new administration won’t like. Well, that and create a treasure trove of profitable data.
Fear is bad when it stops us from doing useful, helpful things. I don’t think this is one of those things.

Just ask Fred Hampton.
It’s safest to sign. Safety is in numbers. Cowardice leads to the greater danger. And it doesn’t matter if it accomplishes anything.
