From Outrage to Action: Let's ACTIVATE on April 5th
Next week, we have an opportunity to pour into the streets in nonviolent protest. We need to make a statement.
We Are The Dangerous Ones
We get the question a lot:
Why is your podcast called The Dangerous Ones? Why are you dangerous?
Our team’s connection to The Dangerous Ones goes back to this video released in 2020 by Jim & Tiffany through Eleven Films. The song that serves as the emotional core of #VoteForOurLives - called The Dangerous Ones - was written and performed by Kasey Anderson.
At its core, this is a protest song. It’s about standing up and pushing back against systemic oppression:
They're gonna stack up the dead till they block out the sun
These white boys with money make the whole world run
Let the wall hit your back
The blood hit your tongue
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones
You and me baby we're the dangerous ones
In this context, we’re dangerous to their plans when we unite and push back. When we refuse to comply.
Fast forward to 2025 and our team’s decision to start a podcast that pushes back against the oligarchs and authoritarians who are attempting to control our lives and steal our power. We knew The Dangerous Ones was the perfect fit for our name.
It’s Time to Get Dangerous.
Many in our movement made a conscious decision after the November election to tune out the news. The outcome was so disheartening, alarming and frightening that some people needed a break.
Now, two months into the Trump regime, many in the pro-democracy movement are gearing up for a mass mobilization - non-violent “HANDS OFF” protests across the country scheduled for April 5th.
April 5th is the first moment since November that we need everyone to shake it off and show up. There are HUNDREDS of events scheduled across the US, and we need to make a statement.
About the Hands Off Day of Action:
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!
This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights—enabled by Congress every step of the way.
They want to strip America for parts—shuttering Social Security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections, and gutting Medicaid—all to bankroll their billionaire tax scam. They’re handing over our tax dollars, our public services, and our democracy to the ultra-rich.
If we don’t fight back now, there won’t be anything left to save.
You and me brother, we’re The Dangerous Ones.
I just rewatched your Dangerous Ones video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dc7EfUCA1E&t=50s) and once again I am moved to tears, anger and defiance. I'm voting for Judge Susan Crawford in Wisconsin (fuck Musk!) and making signs for the April 5 Hands Off protest.
LET'S DO THIS! Together!
