Our nation is under attack.

Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to enrich himself and his family while forcing Americans to submit to his authoritarian agenda or face retaliation.

Instead of fighting back, elite institutions—businesses, law firms, media companies, and universities—are caving. They are bowing to his demands in hopes that they can avoid being his next target. 

Home of the Brave is a community of Americans who refuse to be silenced.

We’re lifting up the voices of people whose lives have been directly harmed by the Trump administration.

We won’t be bullied into silence. The first step in fighting back is speaking out. And that’s exactly what we are doing.
