A new movement is aiming to mail at least 1 million postcards to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, March 15--historically dubbed "the Ides of March" and known as the day Julius Caesar was assassinated--to show "the man, the media, and the politicians how vast our numbers are...to make it irrefutable that the president's claim of wide support is a farce."
"He may draw a big crowd with empty promises, but the crowd of those that oppose his agenda is exponentially larger. And we will show up to protest, to vote, and to be heard. Again and again and again," the group, which calls itself the Ides of Trump, explained on its website and Facebook page.
The group outlines five steps to participate:
As Leslie Evans, an artist and printmaker who produced about 900 postcards for the event last week in Watertown, Massachusetts, told theBoston Globe on Monday, "Obviously, numbers matter a lot to [Trump.]" Her postcards feature slogans that paraphrase chants commonly heard at anti-Trump protests, such as "Compassion, not fear, immigrants are welcome here," and "Hear our voice, you are not the majority choice."
The Ides of Trump also makes clear that while the basis is comical, the impetus is not.
"So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and write from the heart," they write. "All of our issues--DAPL [the Dakota Access Pipeline], women's rights, racial discrimination, religious freedom, immigration, economic security, education, the environment, conflicts of interest, the existence of facts--can and should find common cause. That cause is to make it irrefutable that the president's claim of wide support is a farce."
"[W]e, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm Washington," the organizers write, "and we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing the president that he's fired!"
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
