On June 14, Trump plans to host a massive military parade to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, Flag Day, and his 79th birthday — a $45 million spectacle featuring tanks rolling through the streets for the first time in U.S. history. This chilling display of militarism carries authoritarian overtones, glorifying violence and bloated military power—undermining our chances for a livable planet.

We must resist, no matter how hard it gets. We’ll rally in the park and engage in nonviolent civil disobedience at an undisclosed location. While the media focuses on Trump, it will also be watching his opposition. That’s why we’re choosing love. Only love can conquer hate. Civil resistance is the natural response to unchecked tyranny.
