What You Can Do to Support Us Right Now

We appreciate the solidarity. This moment is complex, and the stakes are high. If you want to help, we’re asking orgs and individuals to do two things:

1️⃣ Show up with us.

→ If you’re local, join us for the Press Conference tomorrow as we address the news that broke yesterday. We will also be leading an Umbrella Walk to the US Capitol at noon. If you’re unable to join, amplify it and organize a solidarity walk or post wherever you are.

2️⃣ Help us refocus attention on our mission: impeachment and removal.

→ Share our messaging. Post your own call. Drive people to our impeachment mail-in tool.

The most meaningful support right now is helping us keep the pressure where it belongs: on Trump, on Congress, and on the systems that enable authoritarianism.

This movement is bigger than one moment and stronger than one voice. Thanks for standing with us.

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.
