Mobilizing Against Authoritarianism: Join the National Day of Action on August 16th

The Texas for All Coalition, alongside national affiliates and state organizations, has declared a National Day of Action. Scheduled for Saturday, August 16th, these marches aim to oppose Donald Trump’s federal overreach not merely in Washington D.C. but across the nation as well. Coverage is expected from NBC. In response to Trump’s alleged gerrymandering efforts—which could potentially grant Texas Republicans an additional five Congressional seats—Texas Democrats have evacuated the state to thwart the Republicans’ agenda. Organizers have launched a dedicated website to galvanize nationwide opposition against Trump. The movement kicks off with a rally at the Texas Capitol in Austin. Participants emphasize the broader implications of this fight, asserting that it transcends Texas politics and directly affects the future of American democracy, as many voices unite against authoritarianism and political manipulation perpetuated by Trump and his allies.
