The Next 250 Starts With Us.
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a choice about what story we tell.
We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment. Or we can make the story of America about people coming together — across race, background, identity, belief, and community — to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people power.
On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.
The Work Continues
America has a long history, rooted in white supremacy, of suppressing the rights of people of color. But our history also clearly shows that people-powered movements are how we end authoritarianism.
Throughout 2026, in the face of unprecedented attacks, millions of us joined together in our communities and held the largest single day of morally grounded, nonviolent direct actions by any movement in US history. Each time we show up, we disrupt President Trump’s attempts to rule through repression and remind the country, and the world, that people power is our path to a truly free America.
Authoritarians want fear, silence, and isolation.
We choose joy.
We choose community.
We choose people power.
Rise Up, Sing Out is about reclaiming patriotism as something inclusive, participatory, and rooted in care for one another — not power, pageantry, or one person’s spotlight.
