Call to Action:

Hold our leaders accountable

On Tuesday 4/7, the president of the United States used his social media platform to threaten to wipe out a civilization (source).

Thankfully no war crimes ended up being committed in our name that day -- but we cannot let that type of rhetoric stand uncontested and without consequence. Here are some actions you can take:

Call your own reps and demand they take concrete actions to reign in this administration.
Contact the leaders of the two chambers of congress (John Thune & Mike Johnson) and demand they call their chambers back to DC to address the issues.
Contact your friends and families who have reps that are not taking action/staying silent, and encourage them to demand more of their reps.
Consider contacting reps who are up for reelection this year and let them know that if they don’t start actually doing their job as a member of congress, you are going to start volunteering to get out the vote in their precinct so that they no longer have the honor of being one.

Call your representatives

...There is a lot going on.

Keep up the pressure on your members of congress, and don't let the latest headlines distract you from other major issues. Tell your congressional representatives to:

Stop Trump's War on Iran. It is unauthorized, ill advised, and has already killed far too many people, including more than 100 children at a primary school on the first day that the US attacked. It is unacceptable, and needs to stop NOW.
Refuse any more funding for ICE/CBP without major reforms, and split the funding bill so that other areas of DHS like TSA & FEMA aren't being held hostage by this debate.
Release all of the Epstein files. The only thing that should be redacted is information about the victims. Anyone who participated in Epstein's human trafficking ring or buddied up to him needs to be exposed, as per the law.
Vote NO on the "SAVE" act. We aren't fooled by their made up claims about rampant voter fraud, and we won't let them disenfranchise eligible voters just because they are scared of getting voted out of power.

Support Minnesota

DHS promised they would take ICE out of Minnesota & end operation "metro surge".

However, the reduction has been minimal and the siege of Minnesota is still ongoing.

Individual Actions for All
Direct actions every person can take on their own. These actions are small, but the more people doing even one thing from this list, the bigger impact we can have together.

In order to defeat fascism:

We don't all have to do everything
We don't all have to do the same thing
But we do all have to do something

Many of these are in early stages. Join our mailing list to stay informed

Develop a robust network of neighborhood-level community organizing
Lean into community building that can enhance all manner of mutual aid & hyper-local organizing.

Streamline our strategy for urgent same-day protests
Develop a streamlined process for activating an organized community response to breaking national news that requires a strong, swift and visible public response.

Build up Kitsap County's WAISN Rapid Response team
Build the muscle for rapidly responding to things like ICE activity in our county to ensure their activities are fully documented and that support is available to impacted families & communities.

Elect leaders in 2026 that will fight for us
Use our primaries and elections to elect reps who will fight for us, as part of the broader initiative of Indivisible 2026

Celebrate the Wins

This regime wants us feeling overwhelmed, despondent, and powerless to stop them. Taking time to celebrate our victories is an important act of defiance.

Public outcry has forced a strategic retreat by the regime

DHS has announced they will soon be exiting Minnesota.

They are doing their best to frame this as a win for them (e.g. "we made Minnesota safer"... by terrorizing a community, abducting people, and killing civilians? Ok.) But it's because the people of Minnesota conducted an absolutely amazing resistance effort, and the more extreme the regime's actions got, the more backlash they experienced.

Mind you, this is still strategic move by the regime, not a moral one. They are trying to save face, change the narrative, and likely attempt to create a path for DHS to get the congressional funding that is currently at an impasse. Keep up the pressure on your members of congress: No more funding for ICE & DHS without massive reforms, including a legal guardrails to ensure something like Minnesota never happens again. See recommendations from Indivisible National here.

The resistance movement is rapidly growing

3M people attended Hands Off in April
5M people attended No Kings 1.0 in June
7M people attended No Kings 2.0 in October

Visibility events like these demonstrate to the world and the regime that the resistance movement is growing, that the regime is unpopular, and serves as a first entry point for many people in getting more involved.

Imagine how many people we can bring out to No Kings 3.0

Pressuring our members of congress is working

The Trump regime is now legally required to produce all of the Epstein case files. They’re slow-walking this and distracting attention from it as much as they possibly can, and have failed to comply with the December 19th deadline set by congress for full release of the files. Keep up the pressure by demanding congress to hold the DOJ accountable for complying with the law.

The Senate advanced a vote to limit presidential war powers less than 1 week after the irresponsible actions in Venezuela. Note: per 5calls.org, the Senate failed to pass the War Powers Resolution. Senators Hawley (MO) and Young (IN) changed their votes to No to block the measure." This means we keep up the pressure.

Businesses are learning that complying with fascism harms their bottom line

Thanks to targeted boycotts and pressure campaigns:

Avelo Airlines cancelled their DHS contract.

Spotify let their DHS contract to run recruitment ads for ICE expire. Keep up the boycott until they publicly commit to not running any in the future.

ABC and its parent company Disney reinstated Jimmy Kimmel after initially kowtowing to pressure by the federal government to silence his critiques of them.
