Our privacy is under attack.
Our votes are under attack.
Our parks are under attack.
But we are not powerless.
Across the nation, people are pushing back. Here are a few ways this week.
People are pushing back against the border wall in Big Bend. Local organizers are protesting. No Big Bend Wall has created a petition and action steps.
The week of August 16-22, over 300 cities will be demanding an end to the use of all automated license plate readers (ALPR) for policing purposes. Join one.
On August 28, the 63rd anniversary of the March on Washington, Rev. Al Sharpton, the National Action Network, and the Drum Major Institute will be hosting a march to defend voting rights. If you can, attend. It will be a historic day.
Below you will find a map of upcoming protests and actions.
Above all else, get involved in the election. No seat is too small. We are facing an unprecedented threat. We need to show up in unprecedented numbers.

This administration is gutting the policies and laws that have protected our public lands. At present, lands in Utah and Texas are under threat. If you are in those states, pressure your state lawmakers to protect Bear’s Ears and Grand Escalante in Utah and Big Bend in Texas.
If you are not, you can learn more through the links below. Also, I encourage you to join a conservation community in your state. They will not stop with these parks.

“Our elections depend on ordinary people who make sure voting runs smoothly and everyone’s vote is counted—people like you.
You can make sure we have safe, fair, efficient elections for all: step up and become a poll worker for the next election in your community today.”
Having poll workers who value election integrity is vital. Sign up at Power to the Polls.
If we want to secure change, we must vote in good representatives. From Main Street to the Capitol, we cannot sacrifice a single seat. With data centers and detention centers threatening our resources and our neighbors, city council, county commissioner, and planning commission seats are vital. State seats draw maps and distribute funding. School boards determine what liberties and protections our kids receive. Every seat matters.
Connect to a local, statewide, and national campaign. Give time weekly to writing postcards, canvasing, tabling at your farmer’s market, and more. If you need help finding one, go to mobilize.us and search in your state.
If we had 10 million supporting campaigns, we could flip red seats blue across the country.

“On Friday, August 28, 2026, we gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for the March on Washington: Defend the Vote. Hosted by Rev. Al Sharpton, the National Action Network, and the Drum Major Institute on the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, we march because the work is not finished.
We march for the vote. We march for justice. We march for the future.”
