Hey Everyone,
Thank you for all your resistance efforts during the previous week. Last night, the Trump Administration dropped bombs on Iran. Indivisible released this statement on Bluesky:
"Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and peace by passing legislation that prohibits Trump from dragging us further into war."
Contact Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and encourage them to support Senator Tim Kaine’s war powers resolution. Here's a link with more details: [link removed].
Contact Andy Barr and encourage him to support Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep Thomas Massie's war powers resolution act. Here's a link with more details: [link removed] ([link removed])
Save the Date!
Good Trouble Lives On!
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
When: Thursday, July 17th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Where: Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza (Lexington, KY)
RSVP & More Details: Coming Soon!
