One year into the current administration's second term, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, attacks on immigrants, families torn apart, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well.
One year into the current administration's second term, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, attacks on immigrants, families torn apart, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well.
2025 was a year of marches that showed our collective strength. As threats grow, the movement must evolve and escalate. It has already been made clear that a second term would bring a deeper wave of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and violence than the first.
On January 20, we call on our communities to organize teams, call your neighbors and classmates, and turn your back and walk out on fascism. We encourage you to walk out to block the normal routines of power, and make the stakes real.
This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.
★ We walk away from fascism. ★
★ We walk towards a Free America. ★
★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★
★ Everybody in, nobody out. ★
★ Welcome to the Free America Walkout ★
Located on the Front Lawn of the Capitol. Parking can be found in the lots behind The Bushnell.

LWVCT is an organization dedicated to making democracy work. The League works to protect and expand voting rights and to ensure that everyone is represented. It is a core part of our mission to speak out if an elected official—regardless of their party affiliation—proposes policies that:
- Restrict voting rights or access to the ballot.
- Erode the norms of our democracy, such as freedom of expression, due process, equal protection of the law, humane treatment, etc.
- Hinder government accountability and transparency.
Defending our system of government is not a partisan issue; it is a civic duty that should unite all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.
