America was built by people who refused to bow — and we carry that forward. Oct 18: #NoKings.

Please leave comments on how your family will be affected if your healthcare costs go up BECAUSE of this bill. All comments will be compiled and sent directly to ALL of our congresspeople. They need to be reminded their decisions land in their constituent’s homes!

In this ACLU Know Your Rights Training, they will cover why the National Guard deployments are dangerous, your rights in interactions with military and law enforcement, and how to protest safely.

While our efforts were highly successful with ABC and Disney, the local networks were not part of our push with our last win. It’s time now for those to see the power of the people. Don’t forget today is our monthly Scrappy Hour at Kerns Food Hall! We hope to see you there at 5:30.

Indivisible Knoxville and Indivisible Tri Cities with Representatives Gloria Johnson and Sam McKenzie at Thursday’s Town Hall For All.

The House Appropriations Committee gave Trump a thumbs up to cut 27% of Title I school funding. Call your Member of Congress NOW—our public schools can NOT afford this. secure.everyaction.com/1y7SjTK3eE2L...

Admins in action. Dan, Amanda, and Marie at the Democracy Summit in Nashville yesterday… Indivisible Knoxville stretching our wings and strengthening our organizing muscles.

And our No Kings II - Dress For Democracy event is LIVE. Signups start now! And yeah, we’re doing it Halloween style. 🎃 No Kings II is October 18th and just DAYS from Halloween, so let’s HAVE FUN while we’re making a statement:

Key Reminders & Logistics For The Knoxville Labor Day Protest

August Scrappy Hour - Aaron’s t-shirt wins the day! We are at Kerns Food Hall every last Friday of the month @5:30pm. 😊

Let’s do some critical thinking: if there won’t be any midterms, why are Republicans scrambling to gerrymander in states like Texas? I’ll tell you why: they’re terrified of losing control of the House—and with your help, they will. Stay hopeful!

“Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it.” ~ Barack Obama www.indivisibleknoxville.org

Join us Saturday at Tyson Park.

Tonight @6pm! indivisibleknoxville.org/events/nonvi...

We are back at the ICE office this morning handing out ‘know your rights‘ documentation and coffee … in the pouring rain. Weather won’t stop us from loving our neighbors and holding down our little corner of democracy. ❤️

Members of the military are NOT required to follow orders that violate the Constitution. NOW is our first test of Nonviolent Noncooperation. Downloaded or screenshot these images and share far and wide. Talk openly with those in your circles who are in or have family members in the military.

Last night we learned that Governor Lee is calling the National Guard to help with deportations right here in Tennessee and I want to be clear. This is not only unnecessary but a dangerous power grab meant to scare and harm our neighbors and our communities.

Tonight at TVUUC @6pm indivisibleknoxville.org/events/nonvi...

A group of Texas Democratic lawmakers have fled the state of Texas Sunday, activating their emergency plan to block a blatantly gerrymandered map to deliver five more GOP seats to the U.S. House in 2026 – all at the White House’s request.

Tomorrow!! JOIN AKIN FOR A CAR CARAVAN & "FUNERAL PROCESSION" THIS WEDNESDAY 7/30 @3:30PM! They will meet in the parking lot of The Lighthouse at 6800 Baum Dr. in Knoxville and drive around the local offices of companies enabling & profiting from Israel's forced famine & active genocide of Gaza.

July Scrappy Hour. SOCM‘s Public Schools Strong group joined us this month! We hope to see you the last Friday of August.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Restitution Sunday 2025. We spent the day planting seeds… and teaching the next generation about #GoodTrouble. ❤️

#GoodTroubleLivesOn in Knoxville, TN

The civil rights leaders of the past and present have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, Americans across the country are coming together to Make Good Trouble. Visit goodtroubleliveson.org to find an event near you.

They want us divided and demoralized. But history teaches us that we win when we show up. When we speak out. When we organize together. In just two days, we’ll show that the power in this country still belongs to the people. Not billionaires. Not politicians. Us. Are you joining us Thursday?

“There's gonna be discomfort," Burchett said. "There's gonna be complete discomfort, but I do believe under this new economic model, I think it's gonna free up more money for those folks. I really do." If Burchett believes that he has outlived his usefulness in DC. Hunger is not discomfort.

Good Trouble sign making at Tyson Park. See everyone Thursday! indivisibleknoxville.org/saturday-sig...

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow 11-2 for an afternoon of community building and fun sign making. We’re bringing poster board, pens, tea, lemonade, and water… feel free to bring some food to share and we can make it a ‘snack-luck’! Bring school supplies for Restitution Sunday drive if you are able!

We’re only one week away! 📍 Where: 800 Market St. 🗓️ When: Thursday July 17th @4pm Our goal is to completely circle the block around the Howard Baker Courthouse while singing ‘We Shall Not Be Moved’. It can’t be ignored, and it’s POWERFUL. Asking for school supply donations for 5 Points kids.

NOW she wants clean air, skies, and water?? Someone should tell MTG and @TimBurchett about the corporations polluting our environment and contaminating our air and water. Maybe we should have an agency that protects the environment. They could call it the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. 🤷‍♀️

I spoke directly with Tim Burchett Thursday morning only hours before the vote. He said he wasn’t feeling well. Guilt is awfully rancid on one’s tummy and soul, Timmy. indivisibleknoxville.org/collective-b...

We’ve been here before AND WON. We are going to EXHAUST our Representatives day in and day out. We are going to flood their every waking moment until someone has the decency to propose a sensible budget that doesn’t HURT people and line the pockets of the rich!!

June’s Last Friday Scrappy Hour!

On Sunday we will be hosting Restitution Sunday in the Five Points Community to distribute school supplies, give away free ice cream to help beat the heat, and do face painting for the neighborhood kids. Restitution Sunday fundraiser link:

Our goal is to completely circle the block around the Howard H. Baker, Jr. United States Courthouse, hands held, while singing ‘We Shall Not Be Moved’. It can’t be ignored, and it’s POWERFUL. But we need as many Indivisibles to SHOW UP as possible to pull it off.

John Lewis didn’t wait for permission to demand change as an activist, or congressman — and neither will we. He taught us that nonviolent direct action is a moral force, and that we must confront injustice wherever it lives. Join us July 17 because #GoodTroubleLivesOn social.demcast.com/s/g8KsdRbj

We’ve spent ALL weekend organizing, plotting and planning for what’s coming next… and ended it with a party to celebrate the volunteers and everyone’s hard work at #NoKings.

Not a single person walked away from Indivisible’s No Kings debrief call tonight without a bone deep sense that this weekend built a momentum that will turn the tides in this administration’s race to autocracy.

Holy Cow, Indivisibles! Way to SHOW UP and SHOW OUT in Knoxville this Saturday! None of us could have ever dreamed KNOXVILLE would turn out 7500 people for a sidewalk protest on a Saturday afternoon… and we’re hearing it may possibly be the largest protest in Knoxville history!
