Happy Wednesday, Activists!   We hope you're coping with yesterday's disturbing announcements from the White House and the genocidal rants that did nothing but embarrass and weaken our country.  And then last evening's course reversal with a two-week ceasefire with Iran.    If you're feeling despondent as many are, our prescription is to take action.  It will relieve your anxiety and remind you that we are in this together. And we will win.  We have lots of options for you be

Happy Friday, Activists!    We hope your week is going well and looking forward to a nice weekend.  At least the sunshine in Philadelphia is a nice change of pace!  We've got a lot to do and a lot coming up!      HELP FOR QUAKERTOWN STUDENTS   You may have seen the news about what happened to some high school kids in Quakertown last Friday.   They were protesting against ICE when an unidentified man barged into the crowd and accosted them .  It turns out this guy in a brown j

At least it's Friday, Dear Activists!    Thank you for being in this with us.     On the good news front, there is new legislation in City Council that will prohibit the city government from collaborating in any way with ICE and provides more protections for our immigrant community members.  We need to make calls to make it get passed.     Also, we had nearly 300 people sign up for our new Detention Camp Labor letter writing program!  You can join the team too to write a coup

Welp, it's Tuesday, Dear Activists, and we don't slow down.  We keep moving forward together.  Thank you for being in this with us!   We hope you're all weathering the storms, both literal and figurative.  Below are a couple of new things you can do to take action.    EMAIL OR CALL OUR SENATORS TODAY KEEP CALLING AND EMAILING THEM   There is some word that the vote on this funding bill won't happen until Friday.  So we need to keep calling every day.  See yesterday's email at

Good morning, Dear Activists   We know this has been a tough 24 hours and we're giving you hugs remotely.  We've heard from so many of you and we are working on actions so you can express your outrage and make a difference.    Here are a couple of things you can do now after our government's murder yesterday of Alex Pretti  - a U.S. Citizen and ICU nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital - in Minneapolis.  And that's after federal ICE thugs murdered a mother of three, Ren

Happy Friday, Activists!   I imagine you're getting ready for the cold weather this weekend.  Stay safe and warm out there!    You can check out more calls to action from Tuesday's newsletter at this link.   And check out our special new project that we launched yesterday at this link .    TODAY - SUPPORT MINNEAPOLIS   You can go to a protest at City Hall today at 5:30 to be part of an ICE Out protest to show solidarity with Minneapolis.  Several groups are participating.   A

Happy Tuesday, Activists!   "Patriotism is loving your country all of the time and supporting your government when it deserves it."  ~   Mark Twain   We hope you had a lovely holiday weekend and found a way to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Leah Greenberg, Co-Director of Indivisible, released a post yesterday, to honor the life and work of Dr. King.  It was a thoughtful and inspiring message that we think you'll find is well worth reading.   It is at this link.   You can

Happy Friday, Activists!   We hope you've been maintaining sanity this week.  We know we need to keep up the fight but please remember to step away from the news from time to time to restore your energy and equilibrium.  I'll tell you, I went to Nashville over the holidays to visit kids and grandkids.  We watched a LOT of football and just hung out and visited.  I came back a new person.  Even some version of a few hours away helps so much and I hope you can find it every so

Happy Tuesday, Activists!   We hope you're maintaining sanity after the difficult week last week.  We ended it with showing our outrage at the killing of Renee Good.        CALLS TO ACTION We used our voices and our energy on Saturday and Sunday and now we have a lot to do.  But it brings opportunities to use our power and push Dems to use theirs.  Here we go!   Rein in ICE There is a bill coming up to fund Homeland Security.  So Dems have an opportunity to pull funding from

Happy Friday, Activists!   We hope you're managing all of the horrible incoming news this week.  BUT there is good news too!   First, Avelo Airlines has quit it's deportation flights for ICE !  Yes, they will no longer fly people abducted off the streets, from their workplaces and homes, to detention camps.  For months various groups, including our friends in Delaware Indivisible groups, have worked hard protesting at airports, writing to cities to end the subsidies they pai

Happy Tuesday, Activists!   We hope you're maintaining sanity in all this mess.  We will get through it, together.   This is where I use the hackneyed expression about needing to walk and chew gum at the same time.  On the one hand we have to push against the outrageous U.S. attack on Venezuela this weekend, with no real explanation or plan from the Trump regime.    But we also can't let them get away with continuing to flaunt the law and fail to produce the Epstein files. So

Happy Monday, Dear Activists,   It's been quite a disturbing weekend.  We assume you're well aware by now of what the Trump regime did in the early morning hours of January 3, attacking Venezuela and abducting President Maduro and his wife, who are now in New York.  Catch up here in The Guardian (no paywall).  Whatever we think of Maduro (he's an authoritarian bad guy who led the country into poverty and worse) this action is on us and is being done with our tax dollars and

Happy Friday, Activists!   We hope you're having a good week and surviving the cold weather.  Today we have a couple of new items for protests you can consider.  And a big reminder to join our Citizens Bank protests tomorrow.  You have two options for locations.     PROTEST AT CITIZENS BANK   Citizens Bank has long financed private prison and detention facility companies even though there have been years of allegations of forced labor, healthcare neglect, and other abuses.

Happy Tuesday, Activists!   We hope you had a good weekend.  Well, it's finally happening - a vote on releasing the Epstein files.  It could happen today in the House and we need to make the calls to tell our elected officials to vote YES.     RELEASE THE FILES!   As you may know, there's pending legislation (“Epstein Files Transparency Act” (H.R. 4405)) in the House for a vote today.  The bill will pass -- likely with unanimous backing from Democrats and even a good number o
