Weekly protests in Freeport:
Please participate whenever you can. As this protest movement evolves, an understanding has grown that we are more likely to convince other people by showing that we support things that they support, rather than by expressing our outrage over a political figure. To that end, some ideas for signage include (but are definitely NOT limited to): ”Protect the Constitution,” “Due Process for All,” “Defend Free Speech,” “Stop Project 2025,” “Save Veterans’ Benefits,” “Save our National Parks,” “Protect Medical Research…”

ELECTION DEFENSE RAPID MOBILIZATION PLEDGE
We face a clear threat: an effort to end our democracy by disrupting elections, blocking voters from their ballots, tossing out our votes, and denying official results. Defeating this threat will take all of us in the largest mass movement of disciplined, nonviolent people power. We will make it clear: the American people will not sit by while our democracy dies.
Together, we pledge to be part of the nonviolent mass movement that will enforce our democratic imperatives: every vote is counted, every election is certified, and all the results are respected.
The No Kings movement stands ready to mobilize in response to attacks on our elections. By signing the No Kings pledge, you commit to be part of the solution, ready to join mass nonviolent action in rapid response to election disruption and subversion if needed.
Sign the pledge HERE.

WHAT’S THE PLAN? A Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s Co-Founders
THURSDAYS, 3:00-4:00 PM
Sign up HERE.
The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.
The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.
Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as they carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan.
FYI— These sessions are recorded so can be viewed at a later time if you are not able to make it at 3:00.
Check out this helpful resource from Indivisible National. They continue to make updates for actions and campaigns that we ALL can participate in! Indivisible.org Take Action Now.
