Indivisibles,

Donald Trump’s authoritarian house of cards is propped up by the cowardice and compliance of others in positions of power: business leaders, universities, law firms, media, and more. His authority collapses without their support. But right now, too many powerful institutions are bending and bowing.

We need to show our institutions that we’ll have their back when they fight -- and that there’s a real price to pay when they don’t.

In the One Million Rising series that wrapped up last night, we laid out strategies and actions nearly anyone can use to hit Trump’s enablers where it hurts. If you didn’t catch One Million Rising, you can watch all three trainings here.

Now, we’re putting non-cooperation into action on a massive scale! Here are three nationwide initiatives you can join to undermine Trump’s power structures.

1) Slow down ICE with Signs of Solidarity

Masked ICE agents are raiding businesses and workplaces in broad daylight, rounding up our neighbors and purposefully cultivating an atmosphere of chaos and fear. We need business leaders to stand their ground and show immigrant communities we stand with them.

Our Signs of Solidarity program is how you can help make that happen! We’re asking Indivisibles to visit local businesses, speak to small business owners or store managers, and distribute signs that do two things:

1. Clearly mark "Staff Only" areas to create safe zones where ICE can’t legally operate without a signed judicial warrant
2. Unequivocally show they stand WITH immigrant workers and clientele and AGAINST Trump’s secret police tactics

Once you’ve signed on below, we’ll give you everything you need to succeed, like guidelines for speaking to businesses, tools to track progress/success, and the signs you’ll help businesses post.

Protect your community from fascist ICE raids by signing up to complete a Signs of Solidarity canvass!

2) Ground Avelo Airlines’ deportation flights

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

With our allies on the frontlines, we’ve been keeping pressure on Avelo for months -- and there are signs that they’re feeling the heat. Now, we need to take our pressure campaign to the next level and finally force Avelo to disavow its work with Trump’s terror cops for good.

Join our campaign to make Avelo’s deportation flights too costly to continue! Use this link to find at-home actions and in-person events in your area.

3) Fight the Trump redistricting coup

Texas Democrats are bravely showing us what non-cooperation looks like in action! By leaving behind their homes and families -- even risking arrest in the process -- to block redistricting in Texas, they’re throwing sand in the gears of Trump’s power-grab and reminding us how much courage matters.

But Trump’s map-rigging scheme won’t end in Texas, so we need Democratic leaders and everyday people in every state ready to be brave and fight hard. That’s why we’re proudly supporting a nationwide day of action and rolling out a new toolkit to lead the fight against GOP map-rigging.

Here's what you can do:

1. Join a protest this Saturday, August 16, to raise hell and rally support in the fight against the MAGA redistricting coup. We’re gathering across the country to show support for the brave TX Dems, demand courage from Dems everywhere else, and show the GOP their scheme won’t go unanswered.
2. Check our toolkit to see how folks in your state can respond to Trump’s map-rigging scheme. We lay out where GOP redistricting threats are most dangerous, where Dems can counter with new maps, and how folks in other states can support those on the front lines.

It’s on us -- all of us -- to hold the line against this new threat, so please make sure you do your part whether you’re in a red, blue, or purple state.

To close out our One Million Rising series, Texas House Democrats’ leader, Gene Wu, reminded us of this:

“It’s fine that people are waking up late. It’s fine that people didn’t get it until now. It’s fine that people didn’t see it until now. But the real question is: Can we change it?”

We can change the direction of this country and stop Trump’s hostile takeover! But it’ll take all of us pulling together -- not just on single days of mass action, but through relentless daily organizing and sustained non-cooperation.

The three initiatives above are a start, and there’s so much more to come. Please stay tuned, and thanks for being with us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
