Hello Indivisiblings,

Greetings from Indivisible Houston!

We are proud to be in the fight with all of you, and to disrupt this
week’s Indivisible newsletter… though not as proud as we were to disrupt
Ted Cruz’s evening last week when our board member Benjamin Hernandez took
him on over his callous and deadly opposition to gun reform during dinner
at a fancy sushi spot following the NRA Convention.

If you are wondering how we did it, we are happy to share it, and [ [link removed] ]will
be running a livestream workshop tonight, June 2, at 6pm Central Time
titled "Challenge Them" on how to hold extremist MAGA politicians
accountable on the spot. Bring your questions; unlike Ted Cruz, we will be
happy to answer them.

Since sharing that video with the world, we have seen people across six
continents express their gratitude and support. More importantly, more
people than ever have expressed just how ready they are to take action
when they see their own MAGA politicians, many of whom are so afraid of
taking questions from constituents that they have disappeared from the
public.

Yet the truth is that while confronting Cruz was the most seen part of our
week, we have been proud to work with many groups such as [ [link removed] ]Black Lives
Matter Houston, [ [link removed] ]March for Our Lives Houston, [ [link removed] ]Moms Demand Action’s
Texas chapter, [ [link removed] ]Everytown, [ [link removed] ]FIEL, and others as May drew to a close to
support a counter rally right in front of the NRA Convention. Our numbers
dwarfed the attendance of the blood merchants across the street. We also
dogged the convention in advance of doors opening, and removed an agitator
ourselves when local law enforcement failed to do so. 

In other words, we have been busy. Very busy.

But it’s necessary. Now is the time to stand up to the NRA and call out
politicians such as Cruz, Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and John Cornyn for
taking NRA blood money. Those murdered in Uvalde, Buffalo, and the many
other devastating mass shootings that have taken place since Columbine are
on the hands of these politicians. The solutions they offer are nonsense;
the solutions we all stand for are supported by an overwhelming majority
of Americans.

Here’s how we’ll do it: first, [ [link removed] ]join us for tonight’s training, and
learn how to get into good trouble and challenge your reps on camera for
the world to see. Then, take to the street with activists across the
country on Saturday, June 11 for a national day of action to end gun
violence. [ [link removed] ]Click here to find your nearest event now, and invite
friends, family and neighbors to march with us. And if you are in Houston,
[ [link removed] ]we hope to see you at the March for Our Lives Houston as part of a
national day of action calling for gun reform Saturday, June 11, from
10am-1pm at Tranquility Park located at 400 Rusk in Downtown Houston.

Solidarity,
The Indivisible Houston Leadership Team
