Congressional Spotlight: Say NO to the SAVE Act

This act passed the House on Feb 11th, and will be voted on in the Senate some time in late Feb / early March. 

It is currently unlikely to pass thanks to the 60-votes needed to get past the senate filibuster -- but we should push for a strong rebuke of this misleading attempt at voter suppression.

Call to Action

  1. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO
  2. Arm yourself with the facts about why the SAVE act is so problematic, including: 
    1. It's purporting to solve a problem that does not exist
    2. It's designed to making voting more difficult for citizens by adding cost, paperwork, and other recurring hurdles -- disproportionately impacting folks who are lower income, young, or have had a name change
    3. While it's unlikely to pass, it's still being used to create straw man arguments and sow doubts bout the legitimacy of the upcoming midterms, where republicans are projected to see losses across the board due to this regime's deep unpopularity

Ongoing Action: Support Minnesota

DHS has promised an ICE drawdown, but reduction has been minimal and siege of Minnesota is still ongoing.

Individual Actions for All
Direct actions every person can take on their own. These actions are small, but the more people doing even one thing from this list, the bigger impact we can have together.

In order to defeat fascism:

  • We don't all have to do everything
  • We don't all have to do the same thing
  • But we do all have to do something

 

  

Many of these are in early stages. Join our mailing list to stay informed

Create a Rapid Response team for Bainbridge Island
Build the muscle & create a strategy for rapidly responding to things like ICE activity on the island or breaking national news that requires a strong, swift and visible public response. Details to come. 

Unmask ICE in Washington State
Get a state law passed that requires all law enforcement to show their face and badge number when interacting with the public. 

Elect leaders in 2026 that will fight for us
Use our primaries and elections to elect reps who will fight for us, as part of the broader initiative of Indivisible 2026

 

 

Celebrate the Wins

This regime wants us feeling overwhelmed, despondent, and powerless to stop them. Taking time to celebrate our victories is an important act of defiance. 

Public outcry has forced a strategic retreat by the regime

  

DHS has announced they will soon be exiting Minnesota.

They are doing their best to frame this as a win for them (e.g. "we made Minnesota safer"... by terrorizing a community, abducting people, and killing civilians? Ok.) But it's because the people of Minnesota conducted an absolutely amazing resistance effort, and the more extreme the regime's actions got, the more backlash they experienced. 

Mind you, this is still strategic move by the regime, not a moral one. They are trying to save face, change the narrative, and likely attempt to create a path for DHS to get the congressional funding that is currently at an impasse. Keep up the pressure on your members of congress: No more funding for ICE & DHS without massive reforms, including a legal guardrails to ensure something like Minnesota never happens again. See recommendations from Indivisible National here. 

The resistance movement is rapidly growing

  
  • 3M people attended Hands Off in April
  • 5M people attended No Kings 1.0 in June
  • 7M people attended No Kings 2.0 in October

Visibility events like these demonstrate to the world and the regime that the resistance movement is growing, that the regime is unpopular, and serves as a first entry point for many people in getting more involved.  

Imagine how many people we can bring out to No Kings 3.0

 

  

 

Pressuring our members of congress is working

  

The Trump regime is now legally required to produce all of the Epstein case files. They’re slow-walking this and distracting attention from it as much as they possibly can, and have failed to comply with the December 19th deadline set by congress for full release of the files. Keep up the pressure by demanding congress to hold the DOJ accountable for complying with the law. 

The Senate advanced a vote to limit presidential war powers less than 1 week after the irresponsible actions in Venezuela. Note: per 5calls.org, the Senate failed to pass the War Powers Resolution. Senators Hawley (MO) and Young (IN) changed their votes to No to block the measure." This means we keep up the pressure.

 

  

 

Businesses are learning that complying with fascism harms their bottom line

  

Thanks to targeted boycotts and pressure campaigns:

Avelo Airlines cancelled their DHS contract.

Spotify let their DHS contract to run recruitment ads for ICE expire. Keep up the boycott until they publicly commit to not running any in the future. 

ABC and its parent company Disney reinstated Jimmy Kimmel after initially kowtowing to pressure by the federal government to silence his critiques of them.
