The fight is on: Progressive groups gear up for a second Trump term

 Donald Trump’s presidential win still has the world reeling and processing the discouraging results of the 2024 election. But progressive groups have wasted no time in asserting that they will continue their activism and action in response to his policies and rhetoric.

“We’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation,” the American Civil Liberties Union said in a tweet. “That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.”

During his first term, the ACLU said it filed more than 400 legal actions against the Trump administration, protesting his right-wing actions on immigration in particular.
