Congrats to @e2.org for a nice win in California. "As the federal government continues to go backward on climate and clean energy policies, California just showed the world that America can still move forward. "

Authoritarians are counting on our movements to be fleeting. But on No Kings Day 2025, we are showing what it means to organize and turn protest into power. We support our community every step of the way.

We rise in the streets, but we can’t stop there.

Authoritarians count on our movements fading. That’s why we organize beyond protest with the tools to flood lawmakers, disrupt systems, and turn resistance into policy.
