We know that Donald Trump is erratic and dangerous. We know that he could respond to world events or an attack within the U.S. with sudden and dangerous military escalation or an assault on Americans' civil liberties.
And we can predict right now that in the case of such an event, MoveOn members will be called on to mobilize rapidly, effectively, and strategically to disrupt a domestic crackdown or block a march to war.
Our response in the minutes and hours following a domestic or global crisis has to be resounding. We must be prepared to help bring activists into the streets, organize vigils or rallies, stand in solidarity with any targeted community, and immediately promote alternatives to knee-jerk militarism and authoritarianism. That's why we're preparing to hold emergency events around the country in the event they are needed.
Will you sign up to take action in your community to help stop a rush to war or an unconstitutional crackdown?

In the event the First Response Network has to be triggered, emergency events will begin just hours after news breaks or the precipitating event. Ideally:
- If news breaks before noon local time —> events will begin @ 6 P.M. local time
- If news breaks after noon local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day
- This is the general plan—please confirm details on your event page, as individual hosts may tailor their events to their local plan.
If you choose to attend an event, you agree to engage in nonviolent, peaceful action, to act lawfully, and to strive to de-escalate any potential confrontations with those who may disagree with our values.
