There is a national protest happening in Canada this Monday, March 24!

About
True North HQ is a grassroots movement based in Canada, formed in response to the actions of the current U.S. administration.
The group started on social media in February 2025 and later grew when a few additional members met while gathering outside the US consulate in Toronto on March 4, 2025. Realizing there was a lack of coordinated action, we decided to team up and fill the gap.
Our goal is to organize and promote events that unite people in peaceful, non-violent protest during this challenging time. We also aim to support others in promoting and organizing similar events in their own communities.
We are a collective of individuals and not affiliated with any political party or other organization.
Guiding Principles
Our movement stands as a unified expression of solidarity and hope, rooted in the shared values of equality, justice and fundamental human rights. As Canadians, we rise to affirm our role as global leaders and defenders of democracy, freedom and unity.
Together, we transcend opposition and focus on supporting human rights across the globe. We gather not in anger, but in courage and commitment to a brighter and more equitable future.
Guided by our shared principles, we stand against oppression and authoritarianism. In the face of challenges we remain steadfast in our vision; to be a beacon of unity, freedom and hope for all.
For folks in the US – a protest is planned for April 5th!
WHY WE’RE MOBILIZING
We are facing a national crisis. Our democracy, our livelihoods, and our rights are all on the line as Trump and Musk execute their illegal takeover.
- They’re dismantling Social Security and Medicare—forcing seniors and disabled Americans to jump through hoops to access the benefits they’ve already paid into.
- They’re handing trillions to billionaires—while forcing the rest of us to pay higher prices for food, rent, and healthcare.
- They’re gutting protections for working people—so payday lenders, banks, and credit card companies can scam Americans with zero consequences.
- They’re assaulting our communities and our rights—targeting veterans, kids, seniors, farmers, immigrants, transgender people, and political opponents.
- They won’t stop there.
This is not just corruption. This is not just mismanagement. This is a hostile takeover.
So the RESISTANCE is mobilizing!
We’re past the point where each person can turn away. We can’t just complain. We can’t say “We didn’t think he’d do THIS!”
The time is NOW to show you’re ready to fight back.
I’ve just spent the past hour scrolling through my Substack feed and posting a comment on every entry that had 1K or more viewers! My comment to Canadians:
March on March 24! With a link to the True North website!
My comment to US folks:
March on April 5! With a link to the Hands Off! website!
I will do that again tomorrow and maybe the day after. My role, I think is likely to be to inform people – to make sure people understand what’s at stake; who’s writing stuff we all should read and understand; where and how we can take action.
Today: I’m letting you know about the national protests.
Tomorrow I’ll write my synopsis of where I think we are and what we can do about it. There are lots of terrific writers sharing their thoughts. I’ll link you to that information and that writing so you, too, understand what’s going on!
Welcome to the RESISTANCE – in Canada and in the US.
