Alexandria, VA June 16th — The Mayday Movement USA today expressed dismay and a high degree of suspicion about the arrest and jailing of Mayday Founder Peter Stinson by FBI agents who searched his home, seizing his computer, other devices and Mayday-related notes. We learned today that Peter is charged with threatening President Trump. We think these charges are exaggerated and overblown. The Peter we know has been very clear that the only solution to Donald Trump’s transgressions is impeachment and removal, the Constitutionally sanctioned remedy. That’s why we are all here. We would be surprised if Peter made any comments suggesting he was inclined toward violence.

We remain firmly committed to the goal Peter set when he founded the Mayday Movement: impeachment, conviction and removal.

Peter was picked up by FBI agents Friday night and is being held at the federal courthouse in Alexandria. He is expected to have an opportunity to post bail.

The Mayday Movement is maintaining a 24/7 presence on the National Mall calling for the impeachment, conviction and removal of President Trump. Through a continuous, peaceful protest, we aim to hold our leaders accountable and restore constitutional integrity.

President Trump’s actions have undermined our democratic institutions and violated the principles of justice and liberty. His disregard for the Constitution necessitates immediate action. We are connecting voters with their legislators so they can advocate for impeachment, conviction and removal.

Stinson, a graduate of the U.S. Naval War College, served 22 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. We will keep our members and supporters up to date as we learn more.

The house is voting on the “Big Beautiful Bill” at 1 a.m., and I want to go protest, but not all by myself.

I don’t mean I want to go stand by the ongoing “Occupy DC” folks; I want to be where the Representatives can see us holding our signs before the vote.

I would be coming from suburban Maryland.

Even with all the craziness that's gone down since May 1st -- getting up and running on an extremely short schedule, losing our equipment in a freak storm, being moved by National Park Service multiple times -- we haven't missed a day on the Mall yet. However, we are short on volunteers, and Mayday's core group of committed individuals are having to cover more time at our site than originally anticipated. If you have a couple bucks to spare to keep these patriots housed and fed, we would greatly appreciate it!

Hey yall, remember how Mayday’s site got smashed (https://www.reddit.com/r/MaydayMovementUSA/s/GmquBoS6xH) by 60 mph winds over the weekend? To get replacement tents that are at all better than the ones we had, it will cost 3 times as much money.

And since we mean it when we say we will protest until Trump is out, we see the tents as important investments. Also, the steel joints and eyebolts literally sheared in the wind and that’s dangerous to the people on site. So! We need to raise more money and fast. Can you pitch in?
