Indivisibles,

Last night, the Trump regime activated the National Guard to crush
peaceful protests against brutal ICE raids that’ve been taking place
throughout Los Angeles County. 

“Peaceful protests” is not just our phrasing. The Los Angeles Police
Department [ [link removed] ]issued a statement last night commending protesters for
remaining nonviolent. That stands in stark contrast to the behavior of
ICE, which has marauded through the streets in full tactical gear,
launching gas at protesters, disappearing community members, and injuring
California SEIU President David Huerta as he exercised his right to record
them. Huerta remains in detention as we write this. 

Clearly, the deployment of military forces was an unnecessary abuse of
power by this regime intended to chill dissent against its attacks on our
rights, our families, and our communities. They want to sow fear, to
escalate, to provoke an emergency that will justify the exercise of
ever-greater authoritarian powers. 

But we will not cower. On June 14, we are going to rise up all across the
country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda.

[ [link removed] ]No Kings Mass Protests June 14

More than ever, it is critical that we come together to show we will not
submit to Trump’s fear tactics. He can roll tanks through DC, he can
deploy the military to LA, but we can mobilize millions in large cities
and small towns from sea to shining sea. 

If you have friends who’ve been alarmed about the events unfolding in LA,
urge them to join you next Saturday. 

But knowing that tyrants aim to provoke violence as a pretense for
enacting emergency powers and further crackdown, it’s essential we all
commit to a central tenet of the No Kings mass mobilization:
Non-violence. 

We strongly encourage all No Kings participants to [ [link removed] ]attend the ACLU’s
Know Your Rights Training, this Tuesday at 7pm ET / 4pm PT, which will
prepare you to handle any encounter with law enforcement and de-escalate
tense situations at marches and protests (en [ [link removed] ]Español a las 5:15pm PT).

And for folks in LA, please know we’ve been in touch with No Kings event
organizers and offered additional resources to keep these events -- which
are going forward as planned -- peaceful and productive.

Let’s all draw inspiration from the folks who bravely showed up to
peacefully protest heavily armed ICE officers this weekend. People who
came out to defend their neighbors, their communities, and their sense of
what this country is supposed to stand for. 

See you on June 14. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
