This Week's Actions
1 - LOCAL - Show up at the NJUHSD board meeting THIS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4
On May 3, 2025, Trustee Andrew Klein was invited to speak at the “Celebration of 100 Days” event in Auburn, CA. Trustee Klein introduced himself as the newly elected NJUHSD trustee and “chair of the board”. Acting in his capacity as NJUHSD Trustee and Board President, and not as a private citizen, Trustee Klein proceeded to engage in a speech that violates his role both as a NJUHSD Board Trustee and Board President. You can watch the video here.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4: Be sure to show up at the next school board meeting, too. Shortly after 6pm there will be a public comment section where you can speak. Having overwhelming numbers there is also important!
You can also email your comments HERE.
In addition, email the video link above to any teachers you know in the high school district. Let them know you are concerned about the districts' leadership.
2 - Email Senators Adam Schiff & Alex Padilla
Email our senators -- yes even our Democrats -- to demand they speak out LOUDLY against the No Contempt Clause! The GOP hid a reckless provision to shield Trump officials from contempt of court in their Medicaid-slashing megabill. We need to get Republican senators on the record about that sneak-attack on democracy -- and push Democrats to disrupt Republicans’ anti-democracy agenda with every tool at their disposal.
And learn more about what you can do to STOP THE BUDGET BILL.
3 - 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 reconciliation 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, and anyone can join with just a phone and computer. Here’s a recorded phonebank training to hit the ground running!
4 - SIgn up for No Kings Day of Defiance!
So far there are over 1,000 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!
Will you be in another town or state? Find another protest close to you.

Here is Your Inspiration
This past weekend, a member of INC's steering committee had the incredible opportunity to attend Indivisible National's leadership conference (Indivisifest)
in Washington, DC. She took time to reflect, recharge, and recommit with over 250 other Indivisible leaders across the country. In addition to many workshops, speakers, and panels, the weekend featured visits to our
congresspeople's offices.
Here are some inspirational messages that came out of the event:
Indivisible is leading the resistance movement against the Trump regime - we are only getting larger and stronger - everyday. Just in California, in three months, groups grew from 100 to 300.
We have woken up millions of people, pulling them off the sidelines into protests, rallies, town halls, and other events - working together to show their strength against Trump and the Republicans in power.
Our calls matter! Adam Schiff's Chief of Staff shared with us that even the calls to their Dem offices make a difference. They want to know your priorities and concerns. They acknowledged we are doing the hard work out here - and they want us to continue - and continue to get louder.
We need to keep exposing our Republican Representative, Kevin Kiley. He is one congressman who is "on notice." He can be and will be defeated in 2026. But we will need to work.
But we can't wait for 2026. We need to speak out NOW. That may mean through sharing and commenting on social media, having hard conversations with people who aren't engaged (yet) in the movement, or getting out of our comfort zone - it is time FOR ALL OF THIS. It is NOW.
Best T-shirt of the Weekend (might be great for your next protest sign): I'VE BEEN TO THE FUTURE. WE WON.
