It's election day! And if being an active member in deciding the future of your community or participating in a free democracy isn't enough to get you to the polls, there's a pretty cool sticker too!

Thank you to our Brookings Area Indivisible friends who braved the cold and wind to exercise their 1st Ammendment rights.

Thank you to everyone in our community who continues to keep the fire burning against injustice. 284 participants signed letters to Senator John Thune demanding action to uphold constitution. And a big thanks to the Cottonwood for holding space for the letter signing.

Brookings Area Indivisible (BAI) would like to apologize to members of our community who were offended by the framing of this evening’s vigil. By asking Senator Thune what his red line is, we did not intend to imply that everything up to this point was still not crossing our, BAI’s, red line. (1/3)

Hold the line with your neighbors. We stand together against injustice 1/26 6:00-6:30 at the Brookings Post Office.

The only way We The People stop what's happening, is if we stop pretending everything is normal. Tomorrow 1/23, if you can, don't go to work, don't go to school, don't buy anything. And if people ask why, say it's because we can't keep behaving like everything is ok.

There is a lot going on right now. Stop, take a breath, and assess what you have the bandwidth to do. If you want to get more involved with BA Indivisible - Our next meeting is 1/22/26, 6:30 at United Church of Christ. There is a lot to keep track of, but none of us are in this alone. (1/2)

Over 200 people showed up, with less than 24 hours notice, to join together and stand for those who are being targeted by ICE.
