WI Meeting this weekend 3/30, bring a friend! Our next in person meeting is Sunday, March 30, at noon, at the Greenwood Library (8016 Greenwood Ave N). Food and nonalcoholic beverages are okay, so feel free to bring a sack lunch or pick up something from one of the many nearby restaurants!

(1/3) We have an urgent request from our state Indivisible lead Hannah--one of our members has been detained by ICE, and we need to make calls to ask for their help in getting him released. Reports are that they have been receiving calls already, and this is having an impact, please take a moment.

Hours after the most senior fascist clowns shared war plans on a group chat, 12 Senate Dems voted for yet another Trump State Dept nominee. We can't afford to let Dems roll over and play dead any longer. If we want a change, we have to demand it - that's on all of us.

Say NO to Tesla and Elon Musk! Peaceful protest back at Bellevue Square this Saturday 10 - 12 www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

@wallingford-indivi.bsky.social Alphabet Resistance (lots of Indivisible members) out in force above Seattle freeway. Many waves & honks from below.

Protect the Department of Education Trump signed an EO yesterday seeking to dismantle the Department of Education. This can only be done by Congress, and we need to put pressure on Dems to do everything they can to make sure this doesn't happen. act.indivisible.org/sign/dems-fi...

Nasal Naloxone is easy to use and free in Washington. The death of a friend, family member, or associate, or a near death experience does not ‘teach’ a person who uses drugs a ‘lesson’. In fact, increased psychological distress or trauma is more likely to increase substance use.

Protect Veterans! Regardless of how you feel about violence led by those in power, only our most vulnerable populations are let down when we stop supporting veterans. Musk is gutting the Department of Veterans Affairs. Tell members of the Veterans' Affairs Committee to take action. buff.ly/Az7WgAW

Trump's EO will make it harder for students to get help with financial aid, jeopardize funding schools and families count on, & make it easier for predatory businesses to rip students off. Trump, Musk, and McMahon’s goal is clear: destroy public schools and enrich themselves.

A good read on this stressful week: Resistance to Trump is everywhere--inside the first 50 days of mass protest (an inspiring reminder that we are not in this alone)

Trump and Elon Musk are pretending people are dead so they can kick more Americans off Social Security and claw back hard-earned benefits. All so Republicans can pass a giant tax break for their billionaire buddies. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Thanks to all who called our Senators to ask them to vote NO on the budget. Although they did vote no, 9 Dems + 1 independent sided with the Republicans because they were too afraid to do the right thing. Despite this outcome, we cannot give up now, 1/2
