(next to an image of the Capitol and a hand holding a megaphone) STOP THE TRUMP SHUT DOWN

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter. Let’s hold the GOP accountable & encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Indivisible National Β· Indivisible on Mobilize We’re a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.

In a month, we can add another Blue State to defy Trump’s regime β€” right in his own backyard.

Help us make some calls to flip Virginia’s Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General from red to blue, and expand Democrats’ majority in the House of Delegates.

Virginia Democrats call for Republican John Reid to exit lieutenant governor race in Nazi porn scandal It’s not the first time the gay former radio host has been accused of posting questionable online content.

Very disturbing reports about the GOP candidate for Virginia’s Lt. Governor. You can be sure when you vote for Senator Hashmi, you are voting for a person you can trust with the office.

We just received a message from Apple's App Review that #ICEBlock has been removed from the App Store due to "objectionable content". The only thing we can imagine is this is due to pressure from the Trump Admin.

We have responded and we'll fight this! #resist

We can surrender to Trump's authoritarian power grabs.

Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

No one is coming to save us, so we will have to be the resistance we need. Thankfully, we have the numbers. History shows us that nonviolent peoples movements WORK. Boycott, strike, protest, refuse to cooperate. Start building your local community support systems NOW.

Avelo Airlines is profiting off Trump’s terror tactics. By contracting with DHS to run their (often illegal) deportation flights, Avelo is complicit in destroying the very same communities it relies on for its business to succeed.

Let’s make Avelo’s deportation flights too costly to continue.
