7/8/25 Newsletter - One Million Rising, Protests + MORE
STRONGER TOGETHER
Last week was devastating.
But we are playing the long game, and cannot afford to let setbacks
deter us from our dedication to the fight for all that is right.
The full impact of Trump’s Big Bullshit Bill ("BBB") will not be felt for years, but there is one aspect that will be felt immediately - and all of us need to get real smart, real fast on what’s coming soon to our communities ...
It is the creation of the American Gestapo.
The BBB just gave Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) a massive gift. It's new budget is $37.5 billion. This makes ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the republic. To put this in perspective, here are the sizes of other federal law enforcement agencies:
Why do they need all this funding? Simple. They want to take the terror and militarization that they brought to Los Angeles and do the same thing in communities around the country. And now, they’ve got the money to do it.
We can’t wait 16 months for the midterms to start pushing back against this federal overreach. We cannot afford to wait.
We have to organize against this in our own communities.
One Million Rising
Indivisible National has created a new program to coach a million volunteers on how to productively, effectively, and as safely as possible engage in non-violent non-cooperation.
It kicks off next week and we want
Indivisibles of Nevada County to be a part of it. RSVP HERE.
