This week in Vancouver, WA: Many opportunities to stand up for democracy, support immigrant neighbors, and make your voice heard. Thread with daily events 🧵👇

When leaders abuse power, we stop cooperating. On Jan 20 @ 2 pm local time, we walk out to defend our future and our freedom. Clark County action.womensmarch.com/events/battl... All Events action.womensmarch.com/calendars/fr... Other IGV Events www.indivisiblegreatervancouver.org/events

Today, Evergreen and Vancouver students walk out—demanding ICE out of our communities, standing with immigrant neighbors who need us most. Thank you for reminding us what principled leadership looks like. This is courage in action. This is what showing up for justice looks like. We stand with you. ✊

🚨 EMERGENCY RALLY: NO WAR IN VENEZUELA 🚨 📍 I-5 Overpass @ 500 E Evergreen Blvd, Vancouver, WA 🗓️ Sunday, January 4 🕒 3 - 4 PM Join us to stand together against the lawless war with Venezuela! Congress must act! ✊ Bring your voice. Bring a sign. Protest is patriotic.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Today’s Joyful Resistance act: pause and honor yourself. Take a moment to reflect on every act of care, courage, and community you offered. You made Good Trouble and it mattered. It always matters. Be proud of the light you brought into this year. ✊💙 #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Find a quiet 10–20 minutes just for you—breathe, rest, walk, stretch, read, sip something warm. Rest isn’t selfish. It’s what keeps us grounded, resilient, and ready to keep showing up for each other. Give yourself a moment of peace today. 💙 ✨ #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act is all about spreading goodness. Buy someone’s coffee, leave a bigger tip, share extra groceries, cover a bus fare—anything that creates a moment of unexpected kindness. Small acts ripple outward. Let’s fill our community with them. 🩵 ✨ #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act: show some love to our local businesses—especially those along the Fourth Plain Blvd corridor, where many shops have been hurting due to ICE intimidating community members. Invest in the places that invest in our community! 💙🎁 #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act invites a little sweetness and memory. Bake or cook a treat from your childhood—something that brings you comfort, reminds you of home, or connects you to someone you love. Nourishing ourselves nourishes our resistance. 🍪✨ #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act is all about presence. Reach out to someone spending the holidays alone and make plan to spend a little time with them. Connection is one of the most meaningful gifts we can offer, and it strengthens the community we’re building together. #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act: give yourself a little comfort and support a local business at the same time. Pick up a warm holiday drink from a locally-owned café—something festive, something cozy, something just for you. ☕🎄 #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today's Joyful Resistance act: support neighbors facing food insecurity. Donate to a local food bank like Clark County Food Bank, or support the Vancouver Free Fridge Project for hands-on mutual aid. 🥫💙 www.clarkcountyfoodbank.org vancouverfreefridgeproject.weebly.com #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act invites a little wonder: bundle up and take a stroll to enjoy the holiday lights in your neighborhood or a nearby street you love. A few quiet minutes of beauty can lift your spirits, ease stress, and remind us why we keep choosing hope. ✨🎄 #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act is wonderfully old-school and delightfully easy: make a few fragrant pomanders! No craft skills needed—just oranges, whole cloves, and a little time! How-to guide: www.almanac.com/how-make-pom... #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act: give yourself a little escape. Visit your local library and check out a holiday favorite! Libraries are community treasure chests, and taking time to enjoy a good story is a small act of rest that keeps us resilient. www.fvrl.org #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s act is simple – a treat for you and support for a small business in our community. Enjoy! 💙🥙 #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act can add some sparkle to a local family’s holidays where it might otherwise be lacking, paying it forward to spread some holiday magic. www.gtrees.org/donate #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act is simple but powerful: reach out to someone who’s been on your mind. A quick text, a call, a note—any gesture of connection can brighten someone’s day and remind us that none of us move through the world alone. #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today’s Joyful Resistance act: share a story. Drop a book into a Little Free Library—something you loved, something that made you think, or something that might brighten a stranger’s day. Small acts of sharing help build curious, connected, resilient communities. Spread a little literary joy.

Today’s Joyful Resistance act is simple and sweet: share a holiday treat with a neighbor. A cookie, a slice of something homemade, or even a store-bought goodie; small moments of connection help strengthen the bonds that hold our community together. #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

STOP ICE BRUTALITY RALLY Mon 12/8, 12-1PM, Vancouver City Hall This week, a member of our community was violently assaulted by ICE agents. We will not look away from violence. We will not be intimidated. We will show up for one another. Bring your signs, your voice, and your commitment to justice!

A fairly simple homemade gift that will keep your friends and family warm in the rainy winter. It’s also a great way to upcycle some old flannel shirts. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1hx3...

Movements are built on relationships—one hello at a time. A simple conversation can spark friendship, deepen our shared purpose, and remind us we're not alone. Every connection strengthens our community! #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Small acts keep movements alive. Kindness, connection, community care, rest—these aren’t extras, they’re fuel for long-term resistance. Joy isn’t a distraction from the work; joy sustains the work. IGV is sharing simple daily actions rooted in care and community. Do what you can, when you can.

Show some love for one of the small businesses who contribute so positively to our communities and help us thrive!

Not everything we do has to be life changing, taking on a household chore that you often leave to others can make someone you care about feel seen. . . and, everyone deserves to be seen and reminded that they are loved. #25DaysOfJoyfulResistance

Today's item is a little self-care with some support of local business on the side. There's nothing like a nostalgic holiday film to remind us of the importance of family and community!

Happy Holidays! To kick off our 25 Days of Joyful Resistance, we have a simple action: Find a coat or other cold-weather item you can donate to givingcloset.org by December 19th. Let's start this season by keeping each other warm!

🦃💙 Thankful for IGV 💙🦃 This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for every one of you who showed up this year to defend democracy and stand up for America.

Coming soon our Bluesky, Discord and Instagram. Small daily actions for a brighter Holiday season for you and our community!

It’s Nov 1 and SNAP isn’t “saved” yet. A judge gave USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out—delays or smaller payments are likely. 💙 While we wait, support local aid: Clark County Food Bank 👉 clarkcountyfoodbank.org Vancouver Free Fridge 👉 vancouverfreefridgeproject.weebly.com
