Applaud Democrats' Capitol Sit-In to Stop Trump’s Agenda

We proudly applaud House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Cory Booker, and all the Democratic leaders and activists who are taking bold, creative action to stand against Donald Trump's cruel agenda. Their sit-in on the Capitol steps is a powerful display of moral urgency and commitment to the American people.

As Congress returns from recess, Republicans are trying to force through a budget that would slash key healthcare and aid programs to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires. Jeffries, Booker, and their allies are making it clear: they will not stand by while the needs of working families are sacrificed for the wealthy few.

Their sit-in, joined by leaders like Senators Chris Coons and Angela Alsobrooks, civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley, and AFT President Randi Weingarten, shows the kind of grassroots leadership and fight that this moment demands. They are answering the calls from voters who want real, visible resistance to Trump’s damaging policies.

By refusing to accept business as usual, these Democrats are inspiring hope, energizing the base, and fighting for a future that protects Medicaid, Social Security, and the dignity of every American.

Add your name to celebrate this powerful stand — and to show you are ready to stand with them in this fight!
