Please visit our about page
Non Violence
US Day of Rage is non violent. Violence is behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Please see resources for information about how to organize and practice non-violent civil disobedience or actions.
Principles before Party.
We are an idea, not a political party. We place our principles and objectives before any party or personality. US Day of Rage, therefore, will never endorse, finance, or lend our name to any other group, association, candidate or party. We support a citizens right to so affiliate, and we understand that individuals and groups participating or who support US Day of Rage may be so affiliated.
Volunteer.
Every US Day of Rage organizational committee on the state, city, and federal level should be entirely self-supporting, declining outside contributions from any political party, association, or candidate. US Day of Rage is not a money making operation. We are citizen volunteers. This is an avocation. No treasury should be kept. We do this lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary aim, reforming our elections.

Autonomous Except in Matters Affecting the Whole
Individual state, city, and federal assemblies, meetings, and peaceable assemblies are autonomous, except in matters affecting the whole. We do not support, for example, violations to our principle of non-violence, or any US Day of Rage endorsement of another group, political party, or candidate. US Day of Rage dot com, org, etc. is here to help facilitate state and city level organization and peaceable assemblies.

In addition, if an action event appears official calendar we have verified that the event has been been organized with legal representation and that legal observers have, when and where necessary, been requested.
