One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.

Attendees will get a rare look behind the scenes at Capitol Hill and a chance to ask pressing questions like: What’s a typical day reporting in the capital? How does he handle accusations of “fake news”? What was it really like covering major legislation like the Big Beautiful Bill? And what stories often go untold in the political arena?

Postcards to Swing States

Writing postcards to voters is easy, it’s effective, and it’s a good way to calm your anxiety about all the chaos and corruption in politics. It’s also a meaningful and pleasant thing to do while sitting around a table with neighbors and friends. In our last campaign, we wrote 1,250 postcards in 10 days. For these next campaigns, we have more time, and rather than just making a good showing, there’s a very good chance that we will win many of the targeted races!

Save Our Rural Hospitals Rally - Flat River

Help Save Our Rural Hospitals – We Need You at the Rally!

We’re teaming up with Indivisible groups across the region to fight back against the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — what we’re calling the Reverse Robin Hood Bill — which would slash Medicaid funding in Michigan.

These cuts threaten to shut down rural hospitals, lay off healthcare workers, and leave thousands of families without access to care. Our healthcare system is already stretched thin — this bill would break it.

Meet On The Bridge! GOOD TROUBLE INDIVISIBLE Saugatuck-Douglas Uniting West MI In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from President Trump and his allies.

They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.
