We have a variety of opinions represented here, but can we come together on this:

if Trump fires Mueller, all of us who are able and can get there need to be part of a large loud crowd stretching from Lafayette Park to the steps of Congress?

Set your intentions (Have you ever seen What the Bleep Do We Know?), and make some plans of action.
Glad to see posts reminding all of us.

A nice big demo in DC would be wonderful, but many people wouldn't be able to make it there, especially on short notice.

Several organizations are making contingency plans for demonstrations all over the country. There is already at least one in each state. Ideally there will be at least one in each Congressional District.

Sites have been selected. The idea is to hold the demo within 24 hours after Trump fires Mueller, fires Rosenstein, or takes any other action that significantly obstructs the investigation.

You can go to this page to find an event near your ZIP code. If none has been established, there's a link for you to organize one.

And, bear in mind, acting locally instead of traveling to DC will reduce your carbon footprint!

Nobody Is Above the Law—Mueller Firing Rapid Response

Donald Trump could be preparing to put himself above the law. We won’t allow it.

Trump will create a constitutional crisis if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller, or attempts to compromise the investigation by other means. (See The Plan for details.)

Our response in the hours following a potential power grab will dictate what happens next—whether Congress will stand up to Trump or allow him to move our democracy toward authoritarianism.

That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody Is Above the Law" rallies around the country, in the event they are needed—900+ of them and counting, in every state, with 350,000 RSVPs to date!

Join us.

Enter your ZIP code in the search field or scroll through the list to find an event near you, or create one if none exists.

If you choose to attend an event, you agree to engage in nonviolent, peaceful action, to act lawfully, and to strive to de-escalate any potential confrontations with those who may disagree with our values.
