We are going to the TOP!
Write a postcard or letter to Chief Justice John Roberts
Trump and his administration continue to cross the line daily. While protests are vital, we also need action beyond the streets.
We’re calling for a mass mailing and calling campaign to Chief Justice John Roberts. With Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson attacking the power of the federal courts, Roberts must act. The civil rights of university students are under threat, among other serious issues.
​
The Founding Fathers wouldn’t stand for this—and neither should we. Roberts has the authority to uphold the rule of law, and we must demand he use it.
Possible scripts are listed below.
​
Let’s flood his office with letters, postcards, and calls.
Do it every day.
Tell everyone.

SCRIPTS
Below are possible scripts you can use for a letter or postcard to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Make it your own - and flood his office!!!
Script 1:
​
Trump is illegally detaining legal residents of the United States like Mahmoud Khalil of Louisiana, whom Secretary of State Marco Rubio said should be deported because of Khalil's "beliefs". The President is defying court orders and has deported Dr. Rasha Alawiehl of Brown University (a legal resident) without due process, as well as Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University. Over two hundred people were sent directly to El Salvador's horrifying CECOT prison under cover of night without due process. What is Trump doing to this country and to her global reputation as a welcoming nation?
Please step in as the top chief justice to make sure that the laws of our country are followed and honored.​
​
Script 2:
​
Trump's agenda is clear: He's trying to grab absolute power in America. The Supreme Court may be the only thing that can stop Trump. We need you to step up and make sure that the Rule of Law is followed with every action this administration takes.
Script 3:
How far do we allow this president to go before he incurs real consequences and damages/destroys people's lives? What line will we allow him and his administration to cross before we curb these illegal actions? We, the people, need you, your Honor, as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, to enforce the rule of law in this country.
Good Trouble
"Good trouble" is a term popularized by civil rights leader John Lewis, referring to the act of engaging in nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to challenge injustice and advocate for social change. Lewis believed that getting into "good trouble" meant standing up against systemic oppression, discrimination, and inequality, even if it meant facing legal consequences or societal backlash.
​
How to Get Into Good Trouble
-
Educate Yourself: Understand the issues at hand, including historical context, current events, and the perspectives of those affected by injustice.
-
Engage in Dialogue: Discuss issues with others to raise awareness and promote understanding. This can take place in community forums, social media, or personal conversations.
-
Participate in Nonviolent Protests: Join marches, rallies, or sit-ins that aim to bring attention to social issues. Ensure that these actions are peaceful and organized.
-
Advocate for Policy Change: Lobby for changes in laws or policies that perpetuate injustice. This can involve writing to your representatives, organizing campaigns, or mobilizing community support.
-
Support Marginalized Communities: Amplify the voices of those who are directly impacted by social issues. This can include volunteering, donating, or simply listening to their experiences.
-
Challenge Injustice: Speak out against discriminatory practices in your workplace, school, or community. This can involve direct confrontation or raising awareness through various platforms.
-
Practice Civil Disobedience: If necessary, engage in acts of civil disobedience that are intended to disrupt the status quo and draw attention to injustice, while being prepared for the potential consequences.
Key Principles
-
Nonviolence: Good trouble should always be pursued through nonviolent means, emphasizing respect and dignity for all individuals.
-
Solidarity: Stand in solidarity with those fighting for their rights, recognizing that collective action is often more powerful than individual efforts.
