In response to President Donald Trump’s criticism of Democrat-controlled cities such as Baltimore, activist Scott Presler has embarked on a mission to clean up America’s streets while encouraging voter registration. Presler’s campaign, characterized by his motto “Stop Talking, Start Doing,” has gained traction across the nation, attracting a diverse group of volunteers who are committed to making a tangible difference.
During the Memorial Day weekend, Presler and a large group of dedicated volunteers descended upon Philadelphia, a city he described as “completely controlled by Democrats.” Armed with determination and trash bags, they tirelessly cleaned city streets and alleys, bringing attention to the deteriorating conditions and questioning why citizens continue to elect the same officials who allow their cities to languish.

Presler’s rallying cry resonates with individuals like Darius Mayfield, who traveled from New Jersey to join the cleanup efforts. Mayfield embraces the tagline “Not Black, Not White, American,” highlighting the unity of purpose that brings together volunteers of all races and backgrounds. The movement transcends political affiliations, as Presler emphasizes that their actions stem from a collective belief in doing what is right for their country.
Presler’s commitment to improving American cities extends beyond cleanliness. He recognizes that empowering oneself as a voter is essential for effecting lasting change. As such, alongside their cleanup activities, Presler and his volunteers also prioritize registering voters at their events. By engaging citizens in this crucial civic duty, they aim to bolster the electoral process and ensure that every voice is heard.
The campaign has seen participation from across the country, with Presler organizing cleanup efforts in various states, including California. Through his rallying cry, “Imagine if all 300 million Americans each did an act of kindness; we could transform this country,” Presler underscores the transformative potential of collective action and the power of individuals working together toward a common goal.
While the task of picking up trash and registering voters may not be the typical idea of a fun pastime, Presler asserts that the movement exudes joy. Volunteers find fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment in their selfless deeds, knowing they are actively contributing to the betterment of their communities and the nation as a whole.
Scott Presler’s Clean Up America and Voter Registration Campaign has become a catalyst for change in Democrat-controlled cities. By combining practical action with civic engagement, Presler and his diverse team of volunteers are striving to transform America, one clean street and one registered voter at a time.
