Take Action: Resist, Organize,
and Build Community

Donald Trump’s reelection is galvanizing Democrats into action. From rolling back civil rights protections to eviscerating our federal workforce, this Administration is undercutting our community’s core values as Arlingtonians. You are not powerless. Arlington Democrats are resisting, organizing, and building to fight for a better future. Join us—take action today.

Resist: Take Action Against the Trump Administration

We must stand up against policies that threaten our rights, our community, and our democracy. Get involved now:

  • Support Federal Workers – The Trump Administration’s Deferred Resignation Program is a blatant attempt to pressure career civil servants out of government. Arlington Democrats are standing up for the dedicated federal employees who keep our country running.

  • Protest the Trump Administration – Find opportunities for protests and demonstrations on Mobilize, and check our social media and emails for the latest updates. We’re doing everything we can to spread the word for rallies and protests we hear about, so tell us about them!

  • Elect Democrats Across Virginia This Year – Our Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and the entire House of Delegates are on the ballot this year. Virginia has the first-in-the-nation chance to deliver this disastrous administration a black eye this November. 

  • Elect Democrats in Key Races Nationwide – Call voters to help elect Democratic candidates. Beyond Arlington keeps an updated list of current events, which include organizing for:

    • Wisconsin Supreme Court Election

    • North Carolina Supreme Court Seat

  • Volunteer for Democrats Nationwide – Sign up for virtual and in-person volunteer opportunities in whatever way you can Visit Mobilize.us to find community events and engage nationwide.
