Action Items: Week of June 16
And a recap of No Kings!
“Motivating, encouraging, and powerful.”
“It was great to be amongst so many like-minded people. I had no idea there were so many in my vicinity. It gives me hope for the future.”
“It was great seeing a diverse, peaceful, crowd stand up for democracy.”
“Proud to have been part of such an impactful event.”
“It is so good to see so many people that genuinely care about our state of the union and our children's future.”
“Felt like a celebration of democracy!”
“It was my first protest ever and it filled my heart up with hope again!”
These are some of the hundreds of comments we received through the Mobilize post-event survey. And they echo comments we’ve been sent on social media and were told in person at the No Kings Rally on Saturday. I have to say - it was amazing for us too and you all made it that way! Thanks for turning out strong, staying peaceful, and helping us stand up to say America has no kings!
And a HUGE thank you to our safety marshals for helping make sure everyone stayed safe!
Check out our Instagram for lots of pictures, but here’s a couple we really liked.
Thanks to those of you who filled out the survey through Mobilize. We appreciate the time you took to send us your kind comments and thoughtful suggestions. We’ll do out best to keep making each of these rallies better than the next! If you still want to send feedback about the event, send it to indivisibleie@gmail.com.
So now what? The movement to maintain our democracy is not just done via rallies or in the streets. There’s other work. There’s community building. There’s plenty more to be done! See below for some of those opportunities this week!

He is a danger to our community, especially to LGBTQ+ youth. Our Senators can weigh in to help stop his permanent appointment to that position through a mechanism known as the blue slip process. Go to stopessayli.org to read more and take action.
SPEAK UP AGAINST THE TRUMP TAX SCAM
EVERY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY - Phonebank with Indivisible to ask voters to call their Senators about the Trump Tax Scam. The Indivisible calling tool makes it easy for you to help get other people to speak up.
EVERY DAY - Call our Senators! Yes, they’re already on the right side, but you should still call. Encourage them to keep fighting for the millions of Americans who stand to have their Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP benefits cut by this bill! Find more info on calling here.
