Trump lost in court to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexual abuse. Now his DOJ is reportedly opening a criminal investigation into her. This is retaliation. We refuse to sit back while the Trump regime abuses survivors. Stand with survivors. Impeach Trump.

Solidarity with Hunger Strikers: Demand Senate Action Against Trump's Mass Detention Regime | Indivisible
People being detained at Delaney Hall are living in horrifying conditions, and Senator Andy Kim was pepper-sprayed trying to access the facility. All while Republicans are trying to ram through billions more taxpayer dollars for ICE to terrorize our communities. Tell your Senator you demand their action!

Trump’s detention camps are extremely unpopular everywhere they’ve been proposed, but many people don’t realize DHS is planning a concentration camp in their community. That’s why we’ve put up billboards to let local residents know there’s a proposed or existing detention camp nearby.

The Voting Rights Act has been essential to protecting everyone’s freedom to vote. By destroying a key provision of the VRA that ensured Black voters were fairly represented, the Supreme Court today betrayed the legacy of the civil rights movement. We won’t stop fighting.

🚨 Nonviolent protest is not passivity. It is organized refusal. This is mass withdrawal from normal economic routines to expose how much power depends on our consent. When institutions operate through fear & force, noncooperation becomes a civic obligation FRIDAY Jan.30th!! SHUT IT DOWN !!

As the Trump regime ramps up their attacks on our democracy, we need to use every tool we have to fight back — including mass demonstrations, economic tactics, mutual aid, grassroots pressure campaigns, and more. Indivisible was made for this kind of organizing, but we can’t do it without your help.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
