LIVE | Protests Against Trump in Madrid Over 'NATO Row'| Spain | Pedro Sanchez

Now I would like you to please give a warm welcome to our first speaker, the illustrious, the fantastic, Ilana. Hello everyone! Hi Ilana! Came out on a Saturday morning, this is amazing! I see a student of mine, that's so cool! I have to say I'm pretty emotional, I'm going to try not to cry, because in 2004 I showed up to a bar here in Madrid, lots of bars. There was like 50 angry Democrats, and we were angry. It was 2004, we were angry, we were drinking beers, and we wanted to do something about Bush. Did I say we were drinking beers? We're Democrats! We drink a lot of beer. So we were angry, we wanted to know what we could do about Bush, and it was immediate, and it was clear. We could get voters to vote in the 2004 election. So when the time came and they needed someone to lead this group, I nudged a friend and said, hey, go ahead and nominate me. Well I was the only one who was willing to do it, so I was quickly elected the first Voting Chair of Democrats abroad here in Madrid. It's an emotional day to see this many people when we were just this tiny little group 21 years ago. So thank you for being here. As you know, we lost in 2004, and that was a moment that felt then a little bit like it feels now. But we came roaring back in 2006, and then in 2008 you guys knew what happened. We have more than we need to have! Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! Now I'm not going to give you a laundry list of all that Trump has been up to. How he's tearing apart our democracy, we all know. How he's destroying the international order, we all know. How he's propping up strongmen and dictators, we all know too damn well. But right now as well, the Democratic Party is kind of a leaderless mess. In 2004 we had Howard Dean, and we had Nancy Pelosi. She was with us during that first Trump nightmare. Where is our leadership now? I'm sorry, but Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Ken Martin are good at the status quo. They're very nice people, but they're not going to lead us out of this mess. They're certainly not up to dealing with Donald Trump. Who here looks at their phone in the morning and just wants to crawl back into bed? All of us! We're all painfully paying attention to all of this. We know what's going on, but that's not enough. It's not anywhere enough. Who worked on the 2008 campaign? Who helped elect Obama? Yes we can! We learned a really important lesson back then. Obama taught us a really important lesson. He taught us that something that the party seems to have forgotten. He taught us that hope comes from within. It comes from service. It comes from us. Don't expect someone else to come along and bring you that hope. I'm going to ask you to spend less time doom-strolling on your phones and more time actually doing something that might make a difference. And I've got something clear and immediate for you. One of the things we can do at Democrats Abroad is register voters. So I want to know, who here is part of a club, a group, a company, a school, a church, anywhere that has groups of Americans in it? Who here has that? So what you can do is you can become a voter registration ambassador to this group. And I'm going to be walking around here afterwards with my phone where you can sign up and tell us which groups you're part of. I know you all have kids in schools, you're going to a church, whatever it is, where you've got other Americans. You can get them registered to vote and make sure that they can tell them that they can vote. The number of Americans in Spain has doubled in the last 10 years. It's massive right now. So there's so much work to do. Who can I get? Can I get you guys to commit to this? Can I get you guys to commit to reaching out to your friends that you know? You don't have to be partisan about it. You just have to ask them to vote. Who's going to come along? Who's going to do it? Thank you for being here. I just want you to remember, the hope comes from us. We're the Blue Wave Jam. You all know a song called La Bamba, right? We're not going to sing La Bamba, but we're going to sing to the tune of La Bamba. Some of you have lyric sheets. For those of you who don't, the words are really simple. Gritamos no tiranos. No necesitamos a más tiranos. Libre serás. Libre seré. No tiranos. Gritamos no tiranos. No necesitamos a más tiranos. Libre serés. Libre seré. Libre serés. No tiranos. Oh Good morning I speak to you today as an American Madalena as a professor of human rights law And as someone who thinks Trump is the goddamn worst president in the history of America As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights of Independence I can think of no greater irony than the fact that we're here today protesting Against tyranny in a country whose founding fathers and the Constitution they wrote feared to their very core the tyranny of government over the people Yet 250 years later we're faced with an aspirational and orange tyrant who is backed by a cabinet of white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, rapists, and other lacklusters who carry out Trump's corrupt and hate-filled agenda However, it should come as no surprise that we're here with someone like Trump In a country where for decades the Republican Party has routinely blocked legislation to address the socio-economic needs of Americans Well it's no wonder they've placed their hopes on a populist con artist who has offered false dreams through scapegoating, hate, and division As the Trump family rakes in billions of dollars from foreign entities accepts private planes from the Qatari government and sits in some tacky gold mansion in Florida capitalizing off of the misquotions of the down and out Millions of Americans of all creeds have no health insurance Children don't have poverty schools to attend and millions and millions are living in outkept poverty And let's not forget thanks to Trump and his Republican cronies millions of women have lost the right to terminate their pregnancies The LGBT community is under attack Black people are about to face in America in which significant portions of the Civil Rights Act are about to be gutted by our Supreme Court And other basic rights such as freedom of expression as we know are increasingly threatened All this while a stupid president and his party distracts us through absurdities and culture wars We've become a country in which cruelty is now the defining tenet of American ideology In America in which we're told to believe in falsehood inflict hate upon each other and chase down our undocumented, hardworking, and loving neighbors with the complicity of American federal agents and military As those of us living here in Europe well know disinformation, division, and hate are the historical recipes that have brought the likes of Franco and Hitler to power As Americans, as Europeans, as Democrats it's more than ever important to stand up against Trump and the Republican Party and by doing so we not only take back America but we also fight for the protection of human rights and survival of democracy here in Europe which are increasingly threatened by the foreign aid To achieve this, the Democratic Party must offer Americans a promise of real change a promise that takes money out of politics and prioritizes the health rights of Americans over the health of the healthcare industry a change that says businesses are not more important than the labor rights of working people a focus on American investment infrastructure, schools, and small businesses instead of on laser-focused bombs and the military on the streets of our cities So what can we do to prevent tyranny and democracy and bring back democracy in America? The first is register to vote but more than that we need to protest protest and protest protest and not only today but every goddamn day we need to be on the streets We are now the checks and balances in America's fledgling democracy from the street corners on Main Street to the grass in Lafayette Square Americans need to be speaking out against this orange ************ Fellow Democrats By offering Americans a renewed vision of what America can be by working to strengthen the basic socioeconomic rights of everyone in America the Democrats can take back the House, the Senate, and eventually the presidency We can chart a path out of this national nightmare and once and for all say adios to Trump And by doing so we begin to honor the vision and institutions of democracy on which the United States was founded Thank you Okay, so what do we do when we're under attack? We cause good trouble Repeat after me We act up We fight back We fight tyranny We act up Fight back Fight tyranny Act up Fight back Fight tyranny Act up Fight back Fight tyranny No tyrants in the United States No tyrants anywhere But no tyrants in the United States Thank you Now I would like to introduce Kip who's going to speak to you from a young perspective Hello, my name is Kip Carter I'm from the U.S. like many of you and I'm here to talk about the attacks that we have seen on the LGBTQ plus community In the United States we have seen unrelenting attacks We have seen attacks that have devastated the community The LGBTQ community has faced relentless attacks from the GOP since the beginning of the Trump Second Amendment As a gay man I live every day with the fear my right to love freely could be stripped away that my existence could once again be deemed illegal How is that right? Our community has been resilient from the Stonewall riots a powerful stand against police brutality and discrimination to countless marches and movements that have followed We have fought to be seen, to be heard, and to be free For those who came before us and protested we shouldn't have to be here speaking about this again Yet here we are, forced to take up the streets and demand humanity to be recognized The pain of the struggle is especially heavy on the youth When LGBTQ youth people were surveyed 39% have seriously considered suicide That's an alarming amount of the youth The youth should not be feeling this way Due to the United States government's relentless attacks on our rights 12% of LGBTQ youth have tried to commit suicide since the Trump administration had taken place How is that allowed? When will there be justice? No young people should feel loved, unburdened, and hated We have seen the hate from the GOP We have seen the slashing of LGBTQ rights We have seen the abolishment of the Trevor Project The Trevor Project that has saved countless lives who are feeling hurt, who are feeling betrayed That should not be allowed The youth should not be a target for political gain The LGBTQ community has been here since the beginning and we are not going anywhere From the trans rights to the LGBTQ rights Hands off democracy, hands off our rights Hands off all rights, hands off our neighbors, hands off everyone This is a democracy, not a bureaucracy Hands off democracy, hands off our rights of how important this is, for everyone, not just for the United States, but for everyone what is happening. So, he said, as a member of the LGBTQ plus community, it hurts me to see how we are still being attacked and how many, especially young people, live with fear and despair. I myself am afraid of losing my rights, but I also know that staying silent is not an option. That is why I raise my voice and call everyone to unite, to vote, to speak, and to fight together. Only in this way can we defend our rights, support those we love and keep justice and equality alive in our country One more chant, another time to let our voices be heard, because the world is watching! The world is watching! Affordable health care is a right! Don't forget to register to vote and get your neighbors and friends to register along with you at Democrats Abroad or Vote From Abroad. Register to vote! Our next speaker, I want you all to listen very carefully. If you can't hear her, please let us know. Her name is Amanda Sloat and she has very vibrant, important information to share with us all. Amanda? Hola Madrid! I would like to be speaking from the youth perspective, but sadly I'm not. But instead I want to speak from the democracy perspective. I lived in Washington for the last 20 years and spent most of my career working in the U.S. government until I moved here this spring to teach the next generation of leaders. Having studied democratic backsliding in other countries, I am particularly troubled by the trends that we are watching in the U.S. They are not new, they are very familiar, and they follow a very well-known playbook. There's so much that's happening that it's easy to lose track, so let me highlight just four things. First is elections. The Trump administration knows that they need to win the 2026 midterms to continue promoting and implementing their agenda. If you do nothing else over the next year, support candidates that are running in 2026. Now I support free and fair elections and a free and fair competition of ideas, but we are also seeing worrying signs from the Trump administration and the Republican-led Congress to ensure that those elections are not free and fair, but are biased in favor of Republican candidates. We are seeing legislation that changes voter registration rules that could strip millions of people off the voter registration. We are seeing gerrymandering of different districts, and we are seeing efforts, which would affect all of us, to end mail-in ballots. We must preserve the integrity of the American electoral process. Second, we are seeing a worrying attack on checks and balances. Our founding fathers drafted a constitution to prevent tyranny, but that piece of paper requires people to preserve the rules. We are seeing a Republican-led Congress that is rubber-stamping everything Trump wants done. We are seeing a conservative Supreme Court with three justices. We have strong men and dictators. We are in war, too damn well. But right now, as well, the Democratic Party is kind of a leaderless mess. In 2004, we had Howard Dean, and we had Nancy Pelosi. She was with us during that first Trump nightmare. Where is our leadership now? I'm sorry, but Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jaffreys, and Ken Martin are good at the status quo. They're very nice people, but they're not going to lead us out of this mess. They're certainly not up to dealing with Donald Trump. Who here, who here wants to make phone in the morning and just wants to crawl back into bed? We're all painfully paying attention to all of this. We know what's going on, but that's not enough. It's not anywhere enough. Who worked on the 2008 campaign? You helped elect Obama! Yes, we can! Okay, we learned a really important lesson back then. Obama taught us a really important lesson. He taught us that something that the party seems to have forgotten. He taught us that hope comes from within. It comes from service. It comes from us. Don't expect someone else to come along and bring you that hope. I'm going to ask you to spend less time doom-strolling on your phones and more time actually doing something that might make a difference. And I've got something clear and immediate for you. One of the things we can do at Democrats Abroad is register voters. So I want to know, who here is part of a club, a group, a company, a school, a church? Anyone that has groups of Americans in it.

And I'm going to be walking around here afterwards with my phone where you can sign up and tell us which groups you're part of. I know you all have kids in schools. You're going to a church. Whatever it is where you've got other Americans, you can get them registered to vote and make sure that they can tell them that they can vote. The number of Americans in Spain has doubled in the last ten years. It's massive right now. So there's so much work to do. Who can I get? Can I get you guys to commit to this? Can I get you guys to commit to reaching out to your friends that you know? You don't have to be partisan about it. You just have to ask them to vote. Who's going to come along? Come along here, okay? Who's going to do it? Okay. Well, thank you for being here. And I just want you to remember, the hope comes from us. Thank you. Si se puede! Si se puede! Si se puede! All right. Thanks a lot. We're the Blue Wave Jam. And you all know a song called La Bamba, right? Well, we're not going to sing La Bamba, but we're going to sing to the tune of La Bamba. And some of you have lyric sheets. And for those of you who don't, the words are really simple. Here we go. Necesitamos libertad. Necesitamos libertad. No tiramos. No tiramos. No tiramos. Si me quieras, si me quieres, dime Como sabes que no te quiero No te quiero I'm right here, right here, right here, right here Good morning I speak to you today as an American madrileño As a professor of human rights law And as someone who thinks Trump is the god damn worst president in the history of America As we approach the 250th anniversary of the declaration of human rights Of independence I can think of no greater irony than the fact that we're here today protesting Against tyranny in a country whose founding fathers And the constitution they wrote feared To their very core The tyranny of governance over the people Yet 250 years later We're faced with an aspirational and orange tyrant Who's backed by a cabinet of white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, rapists And other lacklusters who carry out Trump's corrupt and hate-filled agenda However, it should come as no surprise that we're here with someone like Trump In a country where for decades the Republican party has routinely blocked legislation To address the socio-economic needs of Americans Well it's no wonder they've placed their hopes On a populist con artist Who has offered false dreams through scapegoating, hate, and division As the Trump family rakes in billions of dollars from foreign entities Accepts private planes from the Qatari government And sits in some tacky gold mansion in Florida Capitalizing off of the misfortunes of the down and out Millions of Americans of all creeds have no health insurance Children don't have poverty schools to attend And millions and millions are living in outkept poverty And let's not forget thanks to Trump and his Republican cronies Millions of women have lost the right to terminate their pregnancies The LGBT community is under attack Black people are about to face In America in which significant portions of the Civil Rights Act Are about to be gutted by our Supreme Court And other basic rights such as freedom of expression As we know are increasingly threatened All this while a stupid president And his party distracts us through absurdities and culture wars We've become a country in which cruelty Is now the defining tenet of American ideology In America in which we're told to believe in falsehood Inflict hate upon each other And chase down our undocumented, hardworking and loving neighbors With the complicity of American federal agents and military As those of us living here in Europe well know Disinformation, division and hate are the historical recipes That have brought the likes of Franco and Hitler to power As Americans, as Europeans, as Democrats It's more than ever important to stand up against Trump and the Republican Party And by doing so we not only take back America But we also fight for the protection of human rights And survival of democracy here in Europe Which are increasingly threatened by the far right To achieve this The Democratic Party must offer Americans a promise of real change A promise that takes money out of politics And prioritizes the health rights of Americans Over the health of the healthcare industry A change that says businesses are not more important Than the labor rights of working people A focus on American investment Infrastructure, schools and small businesses Instead of on laser focused bombs And the military on the streets of our cities So what can we do to prevent

this orange ************ Fellow Democrats By offering Americans a renewed vision of what America can be By working to strengthen the basic socioeconomic rights of everyone in America The Democrats can take back the House, the Senate and eventually the Presidency We can chart a path out of this national nightmare And once and for all say adios to Trump And by doing so we begin to honor the vision and institutions of democracy On which the United States was founded Thank you Okay so what do we do when we're under attack We cause good trouble Repeat after me We act up, we fight back, we fight tyranny We act up, fight back, fight tyranny Act up, fight back, fight tyranny No tyrants in the United States No tyrants anywhere But no tyrants in the United States Thank you Now I would like to introduce Kip Who's going to speak to you from a young perspective Hello my name is Kip Carter I'm from the US Like many of you And I'm here to talk about the attacks that we have seen on the LGBTQ plus community In the United States we have seen unrelenting attacks We have seen attacks that have devastated the community The LGBTQ community has faced relentless attacks Relentless, relentless attacks from the GOP Since the beginning of the Trump second amendment As a gay man I live every day with the fear My right to love freely could be stripped away That my existence could once again be deemed illegal How is that right? Our community has been resilient from the Stonewall riots A powerful stand against police brutality And discrimination to countless marches But what Poland did, which I think is great Is they decided to do something absurd To meet the absurd situation So they had people go out and organically buy funny costumes Unicorns, chickens, t-rexes, frog costumes And they just started mocking the hell out of the people at ICE One of the many tools that we can use Is to make fun of it because it's ridiculous So it seems to be working Although they've shot pepper balls at the air intakes At people who are wearing these costumes And you know what the guy said? Many of you may have heard this on the news But it's hilarious He said, I've had spicier tabalis So these are lessons we can learn from each other That we should disseminate You don't have to meet things in the way that they want us to We can be non-violent We should aim to be non-violent And we should aim to meet things with absurdity We should have naked bike rides That's another weird thing that Portland does, right? Why did that make Mike Johnson upset? Shadow the thought People not wearing clothes, riding bicycles I think the message is That we have to be creative We have to do things We have to find sources of creativity in ourselves And resilience in ourselves To fight back to this Because it's a menace It's so upsetting for so many reasons To so many people But we have to do something And so like all the other speakers who've been here today I think it's important Set an intention for yourself Do something after this protest If you need to vote for some special election California is having the Prop 50 that's coming up Make sure you vote for that if you're from California If you have friends from California We all have friends from California, don't we? Tell them to vote It's important Find organizations that vote your vote Join them In the least, it'll make you feel better To deal with other people Who share your interests and share your concerns About what's happening in our country So vote from abroad Join Democrats Abroad if you're interested Find something that has meaning for you And go out and do it It matters And we're stronger together Thanks All the way from Portland Ladies and gentlemen and everyone else Please join me in saying Keep our streets free Remember to make good trouble Register to vote And non-violent actions Register to vote and non-violent actions Let's give the Portland Frog a round of applause We love you, Portland Frog Okay, now I'd like to introduce our next speaker Who is a former president of DA Madrid Ryan Turner Give him a warm welcome No to tyranny Thanks everybody Thank you for making this a part of your morning And part of your intention of the day I think there's a word That everyone can resonate with And that everyone can Is there? Lower Like this? Trying to avoid the Okay, trying to avoid the feedback There's a word that everyone here I hope resonates with Or I feel resonates with And that word In these times Might be uncertainty Right? The world feels like It's not the way it was And you can't even Fathom What tomorrow is going to bring Everything is in An up world Control has been lost Norms have been eroded And Despite the uncertainty Of our everyday lives That's normal Like, what the hell am I going to eat tonight? Or What time do I have to go get the kids from basketball practice? Or whatever the thing is That's uncertain We always felt like We could depend On our institutions That we could depend On The government That we could depend on Certain things to function Despite the normal uncertainty In our life But what I want to emphasize Today Is that Despite the uncertain conditions Of the world Despite the tyranny That is happening In the White House right now With Donald Trump Despite all of that You can make certain Some things in your life You've decided to make certain That you're going to be here today Give yourselves a round of applause You've decided to be certain About taking action You've decided to be certain About not taking it from the man You've decided to be certain That you won't stand For certain Un Horrible actions From people like Donald Trump Right?

The world is watching, you orange piece of ----. The world is watching. The world is watching. The world is watching. Now, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else, I would like to introduce our final speaker, Lauren Tucker. She is the co-founder of Indivisible Chicago. Please welcome Lauren Tucker. Sweet home, Chicago. Hello, everyone. Thank you for showing up. Yo soy una Sevillana. Yo soy una Chicagoan. The two things those cities have in common is they don't fear ice. They have no fear. We don't fear no stinking ice. In Chicago, we have what is called the Chicago icebreaker. It's called a snowplow. And it's the same for Detroit. It's the same for Minneapolis. We don't fear no stinking ice. Now, bear with me because I'm one of the fools who decided I would do my speech both in English and Spanish. If my Spanish teacher is out there anywhere, she's from Madrid, you did a good job despite everything. But first, I'll start in English because Donald Trump is a grifter. Yeah. All right. We know what he's done, but I'm going to talk a little bit about why he's done it because he's a grifter. He's only got really two dirty tricks. One is to try to convince us that the old days were the good old days. But they weren't the good old days. It's a trick used by con artists that use car lots, right? He sells you nostalgia for a past that's never existed. Right. You know, again, the good old days when the white people were in charge and everybody else is supposed to shut up. The newsflash that America never existed outside of TV reruns and his spray tan daydreams. Dirty trick number two, when nostalgia doesn't work, he invents a crisis. Immigrants, vaccines, gas stoves, bad bunny. If it's not on fire, he will strike the match and then he pretends he's the firefighter, but he's the arsonist. That's the whole playbook. It makes you homesick for a house that never existed. And then he burns it down and says he's going to save everybody, but he doesn't save anybody. It's a grift. It's a con. So what do we do? What do we do about this? And that's the goal of today is to help you all know what to do. Join, act, resist, vote. Join, act, resist, vote. Join, act, resist, vote. Freedom isn't solo, right? Join. Freedom isn't solo. Join a union, a civic group, a pro-democracy group, right? The antidote to fake nostalgia is real community. Act. You need to show up, knock doors, register voters, do phone banking. Nothing makes a fake crisis look sillier than neighbors working side by side. Resist. Call out the lies. At dinner, in group chats, on Facebook, kill the panic with facts. I'm a data scientist. I believe in facts. And do it with a little humor because there's nothing those people hate more than humor. Vote. Not just with your ballot. There are billionaires behind this. So vote with your wallet. Stop funding companies bankrolling wannabe tyrants. Start supporting the future we actually want to live in. Trump wants us small, scared, and stuck in reruns. But we are bigger, braver, and funnier than his dirty tricks. So let's practice freedom the way it was meant to be lived. Join, act, resist, vote. Ahora en español. Forgive me. I'm gonna do it. Politica en la puerta del sol. Truco sucio numero uno. Vende nostalgia por un pasado que nunca existió. Ya sabéis, los buenos viejos tiempos, cuando la gente correcta mandaba y los demás se callaban.
