On March 28, Democrats Abroad members will be participating in protest events around the world as a part of the global day of defiance against authoritarianism. The event is timed to coincide with and support the “No Kings” Day demonstrations taking place across the U.S.
The Trump regime is waging a war for which it did not seek or secure Congressional authorization, making it illegal and unconstitutional. This act has led to the death of 14 U.S. service people and thousands others in the region, and extensive destruction, with no end in sight.
This war of choice is costing more than a billion dollars per day - money that should be used to provide healthcare, nutrition assistance, housing, schools, and more, for Americans grappling with skyrocketing prices.
We have not forgotten the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. We will come together on March 28 to declare that the illegal use of force by this administration is unacceptable, both at home and abroad.
2026 is a critical election year. All 435 Members of the U.S. House or Representatives are up for (re)election, as well as 33 Senate seats, and 36 governorships. Organizing and participating in actions such as the March 28 global day of defiance against authoritarianism - with over 3,000 protests organized around the U.S.A. and more around the world - is part of a massive mobilization effort in 2026.
Our movement is empowered when U.S. citizens around the world stand with our brothers and sisters in the U.S.A. as we protest and speak out together.
Courage is contagious. We will keep standing for democracy and accountability, where power comes from the people, and against efforts by the Trump regime to undermine our democracy.
