🟦 Trump, MAGA & Right-Wing Resistance
Top organizations taking action against Donald Trump, MAGA politics, and radical right-wing agendas — now and into 2026+
Some of these groups appear in other Plainly, Garbl advocacy guides focused on defending democracy, voting rights, or the rule of law. They’re included here because of their consistent resistance to Trump & Co.
In 2025, with Trump back in power and MAGA loyalists exerting growing influence, these advocacy groups remain essential. They challenge dangerous policies, defend democratic norms, and help people across the country stay informed and take action. Use their campaigns, alerts, and tools to speak out—and push back.
