This Week's Actions
We need you to make 3 calls this week -
can you make those 3 calls multiple times this week?
1 - Call Rep Kevin Kiley to condemn his support of sending the military against the people of Kiley's home state.
CALL KILEY TODAY! (202)225-2523 or use 5calls.org for a great script.
2 - Call Senators Adam Schiff & Alex Padilla to ask that they publicly call out Trump's invasion of Los Angeles, AND to tell them to not support the Big, Ugly Bill.
Schiff: (202) 224-3841 Padilla: (202) 224-3553
Here is a script:
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
First, I’m calling to urge the Senator to condemn the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard and military to attack Americans exercising their right to protest. These authoritarian policies and attacks on our rights and communities must stop.
Second, I understand that Republicans are now looking at cuts to Medicare, as well as to Medicaid, SNAP, clean energy tax credits, Pell grants, and so much more, in their awful reconciliation bill. No way. Medicare must remain fully funded. I am furious that they are considering cutting ANY of these badly needed programs in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires and to pour more money into ICE raids. Every part of this bill is repugnant.
Please ask the Senator to oppose it! Thanks.
3 - And now take it further - Phonebank Against the Big Ugly Bill!
Call folks in key states to connect them with GOP senators and disrupt the Republican Tax Scam. As the Senate rewrites the budget bill, we’re making sure vulnerable senators hear from their angry constituents by calling people to connect them directly to senators' offices! Phonebanks happen weekly. Anyone, in any state, can join a phonebank. You just need a phone and a computer. Training and support are available.
Choose your dates - Sign up NOW!
4 - SIgn up for No Kings Day of Defiance!
So far there almost 2,000 protests planned across the US for June 14. Join Indivisible Nevada County and the NC Democrats in our local gathering - Saturday, June 14, 2 - 4pm at Brunswick. We want it to be the biggest crowd yet! Think flags (it is Flag Day), colors, costumes, your favorite signs!
Courage is Contagious
Trump and Stephen Miller’s vicious anti-immigrant crackdown has been escalating over the last few months. The scale of the cruelty and terror they’ve created is almost impossible to put into words. And they have been cynically, intentionally sending their masked, unaccountable ICE forces into blue cities and states, communities where no one wants them. They’ve been working overtime to manufacture chaos, so that they have a pretext to deploy military forces to crack down on dissent for all of us.
Trump’s birthday parade and his attack on LA are all part of the same agenda of fascist theatrics, divide and conquer politics, and the consolidation of power.
Trump wants to look strong.
What he doesn’t understand is that true power comes from the people. And on June 14th, we’re going to prove it.
We’re in this together.
And together is how we’ll get out of it. So let’s get to work.
SHOW UP.
Indivisible Nevada County is currently holding a fundraising campaign.
We have ongoing expenses that we need help with!
