Fighting Fascism from “Red” Westmoreland County, PA

“Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.” —THE '3.5% RULE': HOW A SMALL MINORITY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

WTF Can I Do Westmoreland is a bipartisan, grassroots movement dedicated to resisting Donald Trump and his efforts to entrench an American oligarchy through sustained, visible public action. Our aim is to engage 3.5% of the population—about 11,000 people in Westmoreland County—because that level of participation is historically proven to drive real change.

Our work has evolved. We began by protesting Elon Musk, his DOGE acolytes and the implementation of Project 2025. We have stood in solidarity with the people of Portland (and their frogs), demanded the release of the Epstein files, and now support the people of Minnesota and our immigrant communities nationwide. We do this in defense of the country’s founding principles: free speech, a true melting pot, and liberty and justice for all.

Calendar

You are allowed to say — at any point — “I can't support this.” Even if you did. Even if you weren't sure at first. At any time, you can say, "This has gone too far." And while the best time to say that was earlier, the second best time is right now.

If you previously were “MAGA” and you’re joining us, great! We’re happy to have you. There are some great supports and resources out there (such as leavingmaga.org).
