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

Develop a robust network of neighborhood-level community organizing 
Lean into community building that can enhance all manner of mutual aid & hyper-local organizing.

Streamline our strategy for urgent same-day protests
Develop a streamlined process for activating an organized community response to breaking national news that requires a strong, swift and visible public response. 

Build up Kitsap County's WAISN Rapid Response  team
Build the muscle for rapidly responding to things like ICE activity in our county to ensure their activities are fully documented and that support is available to impacted families & communities. 

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 -- and make sure our votes are counted, and duly elected representatives are seated. 

 

 

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
  • > 8M people attended No Kings 3.0 in March 

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.  

Pressuring our members of congress is working

  

The regime got backed into being 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.  As of March 2026, only ~50% have been released. Keep up the pressure by demanding congress to hold the DOJ accountable for complying with the law. 

The regime was forced to remove DHS Secretary Kristi Noem amidst pressure and blowback related the lawless and violent behavior of ICE and CBP under her watch. The new person being proposed is also deeply problematic and we cannot assume improved adherence to the law -- but we should definitely take the win. 

The regime was forced to remove Attorney General Pam Bondi amidst pressure and blowback related the handling of the Epstein Files. She has now failed to appear for a congressional subpoena, putting her in potentially tricky legal waters. Tell your reps to continue to demand she appear and speak under oath, or face legal consequences. Also, the interim AG is already claiming no more files will be released, despite that being against the law; so buckle up for more pressure campaigns on this topic. 

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth may be facing articles of impeachment soon; articles were introduced in early April, as one of the first acts when congress returned to DC after their Easter break. 

 

  

 

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.
