Here's an easy message to send - economic blackout on Aug 9! (ask Target how that boycott is going for them!) Economic boycotts are nonviolent but potent ways to send a message. It's easy. Don't buy anything (absolute necessities & purchasing from local small businesses are exceptions) on August 9.

Well, the Big Ugly Bill is not a fun read, which is why most of our government didn't read when they voted on it. Here are some info pages on what that Bill does to important parts of our lives, from Climate, Education, Immigration, to Medicaid, Voting, Health and Veterans. Action plans coming soon!

4. Because Democracy Is Not Guaranteed
Democracy survives if people defend it. From the Civil Rights Movement to WWII, progress happened because people took risks—publicly. Our turn now, the republic won’t protect itself, that’s our job.

Because The Children (and Grandchildren) Are Watching. What kind of country do we want to leave them? One where truth matters? Our silence today becomes their burden tomorrow. Let them remember you as someone who stood up.

A snippet from the No Kings Rally held in Oneonta, NY (Otsego County which has a population of only 58,000 in rural upstate).
"Send Trump Back to Hell!!" protests sign held aloft
Image of a large protest crowd.
#NoKings rally and march brought out over 1,000 people in our town with a summer population of around 6,000. "Send Trump Back to Hell!!" my favorite. The people aren't going to bend the knee to a racist, draft-dodging, con artist babyman. @cooponindivisible.bsky.social

Anti-Trump protesters
Yesterday's #NoKingsDay rally in Oneonta. The line of marchers was at least a quarter mile long, likely longer. Great job by @cooponindivisible.bsky.social organizing it.
Keep the energy going-- No Kings!
Well past time for big city mayors to call for the arrest of anyone who claims to be law enforcement but wears a mask and/or won’t identify themselves
