Our apologies for any confusion there!
I had to do some rearranging on the back-end of my web hosting service. Focusing on this site and one other I run for a friend’s clothing business. Took down my web hosting company site.
In the process, my back up got all weird.
So I have had to do the site and all edits over…Then the theme itself was not working.
Checked other themes out for a moment and then finally resorted to using a back-up from before the rearranging and upload it, then do the edits there.
Everything’s good to go!
My apologies for confusion as I was trying to get this working correctly again!
Thank you.
Today wasnāt about numbersāit was about connection. And in that, it was a complete success.
Eight brave souls stayed, and each brought something powerful: their stories, their convictions, and their willingness to be seen and heard. We had honest conversations about why weāre here, what weāre fighting for, and how we move forwardātogether.
One attendee told me they felt truly heard for the first time. That moment alone made it all worth it.
This movement isnāt about shouting over each other. Instead, itās about listening, lifting one another up, and forming something strongerāwith intention and unity.
Because of today, I now know: I am not a lone raindrop. We are forming the storm.
To everyone who came: thank you. You helped launch something differentāsomething deeply human. And for those who couldnāt make it, there will be more opportunities to engage, build, and grow.
We each have our own assignments in the fight to instigate real change within our government. Thank you for believing in this new, action-based, connection-driven movement.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our first meeting next Sunday.
You honor me. You honor your nation. You honor your state. Most of all, you honor the people you are fighting for.
For this, we offer our undying gratitude.
Keep watching. Keep connecting. Keep showing up.

If you want to contribute outside of general volunteering, please speak with me directly!
If you would like to volunteer in general for things like flyers, canvassing or registering/re-registering voters, please speak to this dude:
He should be next to me, or really close. If he’s not, yell at him to get by me. š
This will be where we will set-up to start.
Can’t wait to see you!
Rescue Our Democracy ā May 4th Community Protest
First off ā thank you for being here. Just showing up makes a difference.
This isnāt your typical protest. This is about us ā the people who care, who are tired of shouting into the void, and who want something more real than another livestream or speech from a podium. We’re here to talk to each other and to build something that lasts.
Rescue Our Democracy (ROD) was born out of the belief that change happens when we build community. We’re not here to follow a script ā we’re here to make space for conversation, connection, and action. Our goal? Help change how people vote, one real relationship at a time. To amplify other movements to effect real change in our government.
Weāre also creating something new: a protest that also restores us, fuels us, and gives us joy and laughter too ā because those things are radical acts in themselves.
This is where real democracy starts ā with conversations. Letās build something better, together.
In solidarity,
Judy T.
Head Guerilla and Founder, Rescue Our Democracy
Confirmed with authorities. We’re peaceful and serious.
Spoke with the Iowa State Troopers and we are a GO! May the 4th Protest is confirmed to happen!
Given the volume of unique impressions in the 2 weeks of physical flyers being located throughout the Des Moines metro, I don’t think I will be standing alone on this, thank you for your support!
Hope to see you there!
If you want to talk to me or find me, do get in touch with me prior to arrange a time and meet at the protest, thank you!
If any other Iowa towns/cities would like to hold their own version of this, please reach out today so we can get you a copy of this with your location information!
If any other areas wish to do this, please do the same!
We got you!
