Natasha, this week’s to-dos are all about getting absolutely everyone off the sidelines to undermine this wannabe fascist regime.

Among other things, you can help local businesses take a stand against ICE, learn how to talk to friends about joining the fight, push an ICE-enabling airline to be an active thorn in Trump’s side, and fight the Redistricting Coup even if you're not in a red state.

Let's get going.

Your weekly to-dos

1. Sign up for a Signs of Solidarity canvass to support our immigrant neighbors and stand up to fascist ICE raids. Looking for concrete ways to counter ICE terror? Talk to local businesses about putting up signage to help protect employees from ICE raids and show solidarity with immigrant communities. Our toolkit has all the info and materials you’ll need.
2. Blue State Indivisibles: Call on state Democrats to fight fire with fire by readying new congressional maps. As red state Republicans redraw their maps to try rigging the midterms, blue state Dems must even the playing field by responding in kind. Use our tools to demand Democratic leaders act now.
3. Join Fight Back With Friends’ call tomorrow, August 26, at 8pm ET for a new way to activate friends and family. Fight Back With Friends provides tools to recruit your network into the fight against authoritarianism. In September, we’ll be talking about how we can push universities to stand up to Trump’s attacks.
4. Join our campaign to make Avelo Airlines’ deportation flights too costly to continue. Avelo Airlines profits off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive (often illegal) deportation flights. We’re organizing to ground “ICE Air” by undermining the pillars that prop up Avelo’s business.
5. Join “What’s the Plan?” on Thursday as Leah and Ezra answer your questions on the news and upcoming fights. Every Thursday at 3pm ET, our co-founders go live to break down our key initiatives and answer your questions directly! Be part of an interactive chat about what’s next in our fight for democracy.

P.S. Too many institutions are bending or bowing, while too few of our leaders are fighting bravely and with moral clarity. But Indivisible is leading the charge to demand better from those in power and ensure Trump’s enablers pay a price. Please consider donating to fund Indivisibles' nationwide disruption and defiance of the Trump regime.

Build contagious courage through non-cooperation

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 meekly enabling the regime.

This summer, we began training one million people like you in strategic non-cooperation, and now, we’re putting defiance into action on a massive scale! We’re building up three big campaigns to chip away at the pillars upholding Trump’s power -- and calling on you to join (at least) one:

Fight climate lies with the Truth Brigade

Indivisible’s Truth Brigade is the nation's largest grassroots disinformation-countering program, and this September, we’re confronting the lies behind the devastating dismantling of climate protections that harm our vulnerable communities most.

On the Truth Brigade’s monthly call on September 10, Abbie Richards of EcoTok and Media Matters will show us how the media, corporations, and other bad actors fuel confusion or apathy about the climate. Then, we’ll provide tools and info to fight back with the truth.

We can’t be silent as lies replace science and disasters are exploited for profit. Fight back by signing up for the next Truth Brigade call Wednesday, September 10, at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT!

IndivisiWIN of the week

On Saturday, over 200 activists from Traverse Indivisible, Leelanau Indivisible, and their allies gathered at the Cherry Capital Airport in Michigan to take a stand against Avelo Airlines (aka “ICE Air”) and its $150 million contract to run deportation flights.

By showing up in force, Michigan Indivisibles showed the Trump Administration, Avelo, and their community that there’s a price to pay for propping up the Trump regime -- a great step in our collective campaign to make Avelo’s deportation flights too costly to continue.
