Rescue the Republic event near Washington Monument aims to unite country

A new political event featuring a myriad of political voices is aiming to protect Western civilization as the United States experiences “a pivotal moment” in its history.

The event, called Rescue the Republic, is being organized by Join the Resistance and is scheduled for Sunday at noon on the west end of Washington, D.C.’s, National Mall near the Washington Monument. Dr. Bret Weinstein, one of the organizers, argued that this event is intended to be a “defining moment” for this generation in the same vein as Woodstock.

“Well, we are convinced that this is a pivotal moment in American history, and in fact, that not only is the republic in great danger, but western civilization is, and this is the moment in which we have to recover control over our governmental structures and return them to functioning in the way that the founders envisioned,” Weinstein said while previewing the event on The Jimmy Dore Show.

Weinstein is set to be one of several speakers at the event, along with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, podcast host Russell Brand, comedian Rob Schneider, journalist Matt Taibbi, psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).

The rally itself aims to promote Join the Resistance’s “8 pillars,” including the U.S. using war as a last resort, ridding the country of state media control, enacting a “rational border policy,” and restoring “family sovereignty.”

Talk show host Tucker Carlson promoted the event on X, sharing its poster on his account. However, he is not listed as one of the event’s speakers.
