Indivisibles,

We are a movement of courageous activists organizing in every state and
nearly every congressional district -- red, blue, and purple. We’re in the
cities Trump is invading and the rural areas he promised to fight for, but
has turned his back on. 

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized
people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us.

You may have seen [ [link removed] ]reporting from Reuters or heard new rumors
circulating in the press that Trump’s administration is preparing to
target Indivisible alongside other organizations. We don’t have all the
details, but it appears they’re gearing up to smear us with ludicrous
accusations that we’re somehow tied to violence at protests -- a claim
that’s as false as it is predictable. These stories, and the rumors around
them, are all part of the same authoritarian playbook: discredit, divide,
and intimidate people into silence just nine days before the October 18 No
Kings protests.

Let’s call this what it is: a baseless attempt to chill free speech and
scare people away from exercising their constitutional right to protest an
authoritarian regime.

Here’s the truth:

* Indivisible has been committed to nonviolence from the very beginning.
It’s a core principle, not just a talking point. Our events prohibit
weapons, we’ve trained thousands of people in de-escalation, and we
expect every Indivisible event host and participant to uphold our
commitment to peaceful protest.
* Peaceful protest is our strength. Movements that last, movements that
win, are disciplined, courageous, and grounded in values. That’s how
we’ve beaten authoritarian movements before in this country, and
that’s how we’ll beat Trump’s MAGA agenda.
* And none of that matters to Trump, because this is simply meant to
chill free speech. The timing is not accidental. By floating false
allegations of violence, Trump’s White House is trying to scare people
away from exercising their constitutional rights. We won’t let them
succeed.

Here’s what we need from you:

* Keep organizing. Don’t let this smear distract you. The best response
to attacks on our rights is to exercise our rights. And that means
showing up on October 18 in huge numbers. If you haven’t yet made
plans to [ [link removed] ]attend an event happening near you, start planning now.
* Reaffirm our principles. Share Indivisible’s [ [link removed] ]nonviolence commitment
with your friends, family, and fellow Indivisible group members. Make
sure everyone knows: We show up firmly, strategically, and peacefully.
* Stay safe and disciplined. In the lead up to No Kings, we’re working
with our partners on a number of Safety, Security, and De-escalation
trainings. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for an upcoming training here, or catch up with
the ones you’ve missed.

Trump and Stephen Miller want us afraid. They want us divided. But we are
building this movement together, across race, class, and geography, and we
know that’s the only way to win.

We’re not backing down. We’ll see you in the streets on October 18.

In solidarity,
Ezra & Leah
Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors, Indivisible
