Indivisibles,

Today, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to
Trump’s authoritarian power grab. We expected hundreds of thousands. But
at virtually every single event, the crowds eclipsed our estimates. And
it’s not over -- people are still marching in some West Coast cities and
heading to events in Alaska and Hawaii.

This is the largest day of protest since Trump retook office. And in many
small towns and cities, activists are reporting the biggest protests their
communities have ever seen as everyday people send a clear, unmistakable
message to Trump and Musk: Hands off our healthcare, hands off our civil
rights, hands off our schools, our freedoms, and our democracy. 

There've been protests in red states, blue states, purple states, DC, and
US territories. Outside the United States, too, with protesters showing
solidarity in the UK, Portugal, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, and the
Netherlands.

A glimpse of what we’re seeing at a few of the 1,300+ protests across the
country: 

Asheville, NC

The Trump administration has spent its first 75 days in office trying to
overwhelm us, to make us feel powerless, so that we will fall in line,
accept the ransacking of our government, the raiding of our social safety
net, and the dismantling of our democracy. 

And too often, the response from our leaders and those in positions to
resist has been abject cowardice. Compliance. Obeying in advance. 

But not today. Today we've demonstrated a different path forward. We've
modeled the courage and action that we want to see from our leaders, and
showed all those who’ve been standing on the sidelines who share our
values that they are not alone. 

Even more important than the message we’ve sent to Trump, Musk, and MAGA
is the signal we’re sending to those who agree with us but have spent the
last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid: The fight for our
democracy isn’t over -- it’s just getting going. And whoever they are,
wherever they are, we need their voice to win.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people attended their first protest of the
new Trump era. Hundreds of millions more are going to see coverage of the
events or hear about it from your social media posts and want to know how
they can get involved. Our ask for you: Tell them. (And if you’re looking
to step up your involvement, here’s how YOU can do that, too): 

 1. [ [link removed] ]We are stronger when we organize together. Now is the moment for
folks to join their local Indivisible group.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Indivisible exists to support local organizing. If there’s a part
of this country without an Indivisible group -- or if the nearest
group isn’t being responsive -- anyone can start a new one.
 3. [ [link removed] ]You don’t need to be an expert to get involved. But for anyone
looking for a clear “how to” on fighting Trump’s authoritarian vision,
we wrote the Indivisible Guide.
 4. With Congressional recess coming up and MAGA Republicans plotting to
gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the rich, where going to need a
LOT more people showing up in their communities to say “hands off!”
[ [link removed] ]Anyone interested in joining this next fight can add their names
here.

Thank you to everyone who showed up today, hosted an event, or joined us
online. This has been the culmination of a lot of hard work, but also the
beginning of something much, much bigger.  

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
