"We Won't Be Ignored: Join The Movement!"
They want us divided. They want us discouraged. They want you to believe that your voice doesn’t matter. Because if you believe that lie, they win.
Let me be blunt, because there’s no time left for anything else. No knight in shining armor is galloping in to save our democracy. No single leader, no lone protest, no viral video is going to do the heavy lifting. It’s on you. It’s on me. It’s on all of us. And if that scares you, good. Fear is a motivator; use it. But don’t let fear paralyze you. Let it ignite you.
From New York City to California, from Florida’s sweltering streets to the snow-packed towns of Maine, Americans are waking up to the daily assault on our values. Protests are popping up in every state. They’re no longer isolated events; they are the heartbeat of a growing movement. Tariffs, federal job cuts, attacks on veterans, the gutting of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security; even school lunch programs and children’s cancer research are under fire. And the American people have had enough.
So what do we do about it? We organize. We unify. We speak. We act.
That’s why I launched the No Fear Tour with my friend and fellow truth-teller
. And joining us are brave voices like , , , , and even the brilliantly sharp-witted . Together, we kicked things off in New York City; not with pomp or pageantry, but with the raw, unfiltered urgency that this moment demands.This isn’t about me. This isn’t about Jim or Don or Tara or Olivia or anyone else. This is about you. This is about a community that cannot, will not, be silenced. This is about refusing to let our children inherit a nation that looks more like a fascist state than the democratic republic we pledged allegiance to.
And look, I know some of you are tired. Disillusioned. Angry. You’ve been let down. I get it. I’ve been there. I lived there. But staying in that space; staying silent, staying still, is how they win. That’s how democracy dies: not in a thunderclap, but in the quiet apathy of good people who assume someone else will take care of it.
No one else will. It’s you. It’s us. Together.
These protests aren’t just about Trump; though let’s be honest, that malignant narcissist is the festering symbol of everything we’re fighting against. This is about the rot that his MAGA movement represents. The cruelty. The racism. The misogyny. The sexism. The xenophobia. The homophobia. The islamophobia. The transphobia. The anti-semitism. The corruption. The blatant dismantling of every safety net this country once provided for its people.
They want us divided. They want us discouraged. They want you to believe that your voice doesn’t matter. Because if you believe that lie, they win. That’s why I’m asking; not telling, asking you to be part of something bigger. Much bigger. Share this message. Tell one friend, then tell ten. Send the post, forward the email, repost the story, blast it on your socials.
Build this community like your life depends on it; because it does!
As one of my valued Substack readers, I’m asking you now: be the messenger. Be the amplifier. Be the warrior. Help grow this community until it is too big to ignore. Help us get so loud, so visible, that by the time the 2026 midterms roll around, we deliver the blue wave that buries this extremist movement in a tsunami of civic participation.
It doesn’t matter how you participate; protest, post, organize, donate, vote, volunteer. Whether it’s through your voice, your platform, your art, your dollars, or your time, do something. This is a movement where no contribution is too small and no act is wasted. You can’t afford to be a bystander. None of us can.
Courage is contagious. And it’s never been more necessary. I’ve seen it in the eyes of the people who showed up at our ‘NO FEAR’ event. I’ve felt it in the chants of protestors who won’t back down. I’ve heard it in the messages from subscribers and patriots all across this country who say, “I’m in. I’m not afraid anymore.” Thank you Michael for what you do.
You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be brave enough to care; and to act like it.
We’re not just holding rallies and events. We’re building resistance. We’re not just creating content. We’re creating community. We’re not just screaming into the void. We’re making sure the void screams back.
So, what now?
Now, you join. You post. You protest. You participate. Because the alternative; silence, surrender, stagnation, is simply not an option. Not if you care about this country. Not if you care about the world. Not if you care about your kids. Not if you care about truth, about justice, about what America is supposed to be.
It’s time. No more sitting this one out. No more hoping someone else takes care of it.
Tag in. Stand up. Get loud. Join the damn fight.
Because no one is coming to save us. But together; we will save ourselves.

Hi Michael
I will help in any way. I have forward your emails and joined Substack.
I told my Library book club and have them following you. I have told my friends at the FIA where I help out. I live on a limited income very limited.
Best Wishes
PS
We have to save the USA NOW

Thank you, Michael, for being a leader in the pro-democracy movement.
