Our Commitment to Nonviolence
Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisible (SDAI) is a peaceful, nonviolent group working for positive change. We strictly prohibit weapons, violent language, or threats at any of our events, rallies, or gatherings.
We coordinate with local law enforcement and obtain necessary permits to ensure our events are safe, lawful, and respectful—for our supporters, the public, and any counter-protesters.
We ask all participants to act peacefully and lawfully at all times.
Disclaimer
SDAI only takes responsibility for events we organize. When we share information about events hosted by other groups, it is for awareness—not endorsement. The organizing group is solely responsible for those events.
Pizza, Postcards & People Power
Join Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisibles for a fun, welcoming evening of connection and collective action. We’re bringing together like-minded community members to share pizza, meet new people, and write postcards that help amplify our voices and values.
Whether you’re a longtime activist or just looking for a simple, meaningful way to get involved, this is a low-pressure, high-impact way to take action alongside neighbors who care. Come for the pizza, stay for the conversation, and leave knowing you helped make a difference.
We’ll provide the post cards and pizza – you purchase your beverages and stamps (or we will provide them).
Eyes on ICE: Document and Record
This is an INDIVISIBLE EVENT:
On 1/24/26, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses.
Enough is enough. Exercising our Constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents is more important than ever. This call will give you the tools to exercise your rights in a moment when federal agents are terrorizing our communities and using excessive force.
We will cover the latest updates on ICE and CBP's out-of-control and dangerous operations. We will talk through rights when documenting and recording law enforcement encounters, and how you can continue to take action.
HUIZENGA PROTEST
Join us every Friday from 12:00-1pm to protest outside Representative Bill Huizenga’s Holland Office. Bring a sign and a letter to slide under this door.

Concerned about current global conflicts and the US role in them?
Bring a homemade sign calling for peace, and join us as we march along River Ave calling for peace. Add your voice and your presence!
There are so many broken hearts, broken lives, and voices that will never be heard again.
Cultivating Peace at Satya Yoga
In these stress filled times it is very important to be able to regulate both our personal and collective nervous systems. Join Kat VanHammen for an informative talk and direct experience of some tools and practices that we can use to help us to maintain our steadiness and peace during times of chaos and upheaval. We will see how cultivating and strengthening our capacities to regulate and co-regulate are truly a deep service to ourselves and our communities and come away with some practical and doable practices that can be applied in everyday life.

Writing postcards 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.

Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisibles Meeting
NOTICE: Out of an abundance of caution and with everyone’s safety in mind due to the severe weather, we’ve decided to move tomorrow night’s meeting to a virtual-only format.
Join Dr. Christy Berghoef and Dr. David Myers for an engaging conversation on why political belief change is so challenging—and how evidence-based approaches can open minds, build trust, and foster more meaningful dialogue across differences.
★ WALKOUT FOR OUR FREEDOMS ★
COLLECTIVE STRENGTH — Activist groups are coordinating a nationwide Walkout on January 20 at 2 p.m. local time. Their message: “We will walk out of work, school, and commerce. We will withhold our labor, our participation, and our consent. A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate. This is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.”
One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating fascist threat: ICE raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, families torn apart, attacks on our trans siblings, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well. On January 20 at 2 PM local time, we will walk out of work, school, and commerce. We will withhold our labor, our participation, and our consent. A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate. This is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.
