In the midst of President Trump's rapid fire, sweeping, and arguably illegal actions since inauguration day, resistance and protest against the president and his agenda has seemed quieter than at the beginning of his first term. But as the administration continues to take controversial actions on federal funding immigration, and transgender rights, resistance is ramping up in congress, the courts and on the streets. We'll talk to Trump opponents about their strategies and what resistance could look like in this Trump term. And we want to hear from you, what is missing from the Democrat's resistance strategy? Guests: Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director, The Indivisible Project; co-author, Indivisible Guide; former Congressional staffer Rebecca Solnit, writer, newsletter called "Meditations in an Emergency" about politics, language and possibilities; historian; activist; author, more than twenty books that include "Orwell's Roses"; "Recollections of My Nonexistence"; "Hope in the Dark"; and "Men Explain Things to Me." Lateefah Simon, U.S. representative, California's 12th congressional district; former board director, Bay Area Rapid Transit; board trustee, California State University system; longtime friend and mentee of Kamala Harris

Political activist, and co-founder of the progressive organization Indivisible, Leah Greenberg, discusses the early days of the organization, and what she hoped would happen after publishing the first Indivisible Guide in 2016. We also discuss the big tent strategy embraced by the Harris-Walz campaign, and whether the coalition can hold after the election. Lastly, we discuss what you can do NOW, ahead of Tuesday's election, to help save democracy.

INDIVISIBLE CHICAGO PODCAST SHOW NOTES FOR MONDAY, MARCH 8, 2021 _1. Distribution of vaccines is up. More and more people say they are going to get the vaccine. Consumer confidence is up. Biden remains popular with approval ratings the previous president never saw. Something we haven't been able to say for a long time: This week was a pretty good week. _2. Indivisible grew from a Google Doc in December, 2016, to a going concern with an office, a cadre of employees, and a national network within a matter of months. The goal of Indivisible from Day 1 was to remove Trump from office. Mission Accomplished. So now what? There's still a democracy to protect, and progressive policies to enact, so the work is far from over. And that work is the topic of this week's interview with Indivisible co-founder and co-executive director Leah Greenberg. Find the new Indivisible Guide at indivisible.org.

This week, we revisit our January conversation with Indivisible co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, discussing their blueprint for the new Democratic trifecta. “Indivisible Guide: A Practical Guide for Fixing Our Democracy,” offers lessons from the past, and whole lot of directives for a new and better future. This was recorded live on Saturday, January 23rd.

As we transition into a new era with a Biden presidency and a Democratic trifecta(!), many progressives are wondering what happens next. Today's podcast is a town hall with Indivisible co-founders and co-executive directors, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, discuss “Indivisible Guide: A Practical Guide for Fixing Our Democracy,” brand-new guide offering lessons from the past, and directives for a new and better future. This was recorded live on Saturday, January 23rd.

Today, two of our state's top Democrats join us to discuss, well, everything that's happened since the beginning of year. Shasti Conrad, Chair of the King County Democrats, and Will Casey, Communications Director for the Washington State Democrats, weigh in on the inauguration, President Biden's first day in office, and what we can be pushing for as progressives. We also talk about the Jan. 6th insurrection, how it connects to hate groups here at home, and about what it's going to take to disempower and delegitimize these forces going forward.

In this episode we talk with Indivisible OC 48 chairman, Aaron McCall. The year 2018 saw a national blue wave that elected a historically diverse Congress. But our activism can’t stop with our victories in 2018. We not only need to focus on the 2020 election, but we need to work on building community and improving civic engagement. In our talk with Aaron McCall we learn about the IOC48 roadmap and initiatives for 2020 and beyond. We also touch on the new Indivisible book, "We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump" by the Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin.   Indivisible OC 48: www.ioc48.com   Indivisible National: www.indivisible.org   The original Indivisible Guide: https://indivisible.org/campaign/indivisible-guide

In 2016, following the election of Donald Trump, two former Capitol Hill staffers created a Google Doc, mostly for their family and friends, that outlined ways to oppose the Trump agenda. They called it the Indivisible Guide. Not too long after that Google Doc went viral, the Indivisible movement was born. The document was a how-to manual for getting the attention of legislators, and organizing effectively. Thousands of local, grassroots indivisible chapters formed across the country, including one here in Baltimore. Just as the Tea Party had transformed politics, years earlier, Indivisible activists sought to make themselves an unavoidable presence in the lives of Congressional Republicans and Democrats alike. The two staffers who wrote the Indivisible Guide, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, have written a book called We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump. Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin join me from the studios of NPR in Washington, DC.

How to turn the despair of our crumbling democracy into action and energy that creates actual, positive, and progressive changes. We talk the beginnings of INBK, what we do, what you can do anywhere in the country, and if a cardboard cut out of Chuck Schumer holds more town halls than the real one (spoiler - yes). Then Liat interviews an INBK fave - councilmember Brad Lander about the changes at the ballot box that New Yorkers can vote for this week!  

Tired of national politics? We've got the cure, FOCUS LOCALLY! This week we're discussing the coming 2019 local elections (there are more than you might think!) with Daniel J. Cohen, President of Indivisible Houston, the folks who literally wrote a guide (The Indivisible Guide) for the #progressive #resistance! Hope you'll join us!

In this episode, we speak with Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible and co-author of the Indivisible Guide! Ezra tells us how this all got started and share his "radical idea that in a representative democracy, your representative ought to actually REPRESENT you!"

In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan is joined by Steven Bishop and Julie Connally as we welcome Tony Weber of Indivisible Austin to the studio discuss some of the many issues facing our country. Tony Weber is member of the board of Indivisible Austin, which was formed as part of a national movement inspired by message of the Indivisible Guide. Indivisible Austin supports citizen activists in Central Texas by providing leadership, resources, tools, and training to oppose authoritarianism and defend democracy. How can we begin to open dialogues which open not only minds but hearts? What can we do to put differences aside and help change our local communities? Is it possible in the current political climate for those of opposing views to actually work together for the same common goals? These questions and more in this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast.

Season 2, Episode 1 — 22 June 2017 About this episode Today's episode is particularly urgent. The Senate released its bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut Medicaid this morning. Listen to it right away then get busy. TASH talks with Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia, a Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project, about what this bill means and how you can talk to your Senator — Republican or Democrat — to effectively convey the importance for people with disabilities of it not passing. About the presenters Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia is a contributor to The Indivisible Guide and Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project in Washington, D.C., where he helps demystify Congress for 6,000 Indivisible groups across every congressional district in the country. Previously, he advocated for the rights of workers, immigrants and survivors of human trafficking through several NGOs including the Worker Justice Center of New York, the Freedom Network, and Humanity United. Gonzalo was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He holds a BA cum laude from Cornell University. Donald Taylor is responsible for membership and chapters at TASH and is the producer of Amplified. Transcript Announcer: You're listening to TASH Amplified, a podcast that seeks to transform research and experience concerning inclusion and equity for people with disabilities into solutions people can use in their everyday lives. Today we are talking with Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia, who is a Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project. Indivisible started as a 23-page guide on how to influence your congresspeople, written by former congressional staffers with first-hand experience of what works and what doesn't work. The guide had been downloaded over 2 million times and Indivisible now comprises nearly 6,000 local groups. Their primary focus in recent weeks has been on preventing Congress from repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and cutting $800 billion from Medicaid — which they could do as early as next week. We talk with Gonzalo about what TASH members can do to protect these essential rights of people with disabilities. Musical introduction Complete transcript forthcoming Donald Taylor: The American Health Care Act is really close to having the votes to pass in the Senate. So I think the idea is to look at specific [influenceable] Senators. Which Senators, and in which states, are the most important Congresspeople for citizens to try to influence? Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia: Yeah, so there's two answers to that. You know, the first answer, of course, is we encourage people to call whoever their individual two senators happen to be in whatever state they are. And there is work to do in all in all states. But as a national campaign, of course, we have to hone in on certain targets, especially now that we're getting into the final stretch. You know, the House has already voted. We are now in the Senate and in we are in the final stretch of the Senate negotiations. And what the Republican caucus and leadership is trying to […] The post How to Talk to Your Senator About Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act appeared first on Tash.org.

We caught up with one of the organizers, Julia Kline, at the end of the march for a recap of the day.

Show Notes In this episode, we focused on organizing for immigrant rights in D.C. and the fight to keep the District a sanctuary city. First, we sat down with Celina Marquez, a third year law student at George Washington University studying immigration law and helping DMV residents navigate the complexities of the immigration system at the GW Immigration Legal Clinic. Our second interview featured Yasemin Zahara and Paola Perez, two community organizers from Many Languages, One Voice, a Mt. Pleasant based grassroots organization working to build power in D.C.’s immigrant community. Sandwiched between the interviews, we heard “Cathedral” by Flavor Wasters. You can find more of their music on Bandcamp, or follow them on Facebook and Twitter to stay in the loop on upcoming performances. Call to Action Immigrants make up 25% of our city's population, and play a huge role in keeping the District a vibrant, healthy, and beautiful place to live. To keep D.C. safe for all of us, we must stand in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters and demand that our city upholds its promise of sanctuary and freedom for all residents. Here’s what you can do: Support Community Based Organizations Provide your time, treasure, and talent to www.mlovdc.org/, Sanctuary DMV, or other partners in your community. They need money to support their operations, volunteers to help with the behind the scenes work of organizing, and people in the streets to help the movement grow. Tell the Mayor and DC Council To Keep DC a Sanctuary City As Yasemin and Paola discussed in our interview, the D.C. government has not yet taken a strong enough stand in favor of keeping the city a sanctuary, despite several public pronouncements in support of our immigrant community. Make your voice heard by telling the Mayor and Council directly to put their money (our money!) where their mouth is. You can find contact information for your Council Members and the Executive Office of the Mayor by following the links. Call, tweet, email, or Facebook stalk, but whatever you do, let them know that you stand with D.C.’s immigrant community.

Peter Wilbur is a North Carolina schoolteacher who was galvanized to massive action when Steve Bannon was selected as Trump’s Chief Strategist. After calling every Senator to register his protest, Peter looked around for ways to guide and inspire others to participate in the resistance.

Joshua Holland surveys the new grassroots resistance groups that have sprung up since the election—he found more than 75, and that number is likely be growing. Indivisible is the biggest of these groups, with more than 5,000 local groups, at least two in every Congressional district. Jeremy Haile explains—he’s one of the authors of the Indivisible Guide. March 8 was International Women’s Day, and Rebecca Solnit was on strike during it. She talks about about the exciting shape feminist activism has taken over the last few year—she calls it “fearless,” “unapologetic” and “gorgeously transformative.” Rebecca’s new book is The Mother of all Questions.

Ivonne Wallace Fuentes founded an Indivisible group in Roanoke, Virginia, and she and thousands of activist across the country have become empowered using the Indivisible Guide. We spoke about how she got involved after the election of Donald Trump and how she's using this great toolkit to resist Trump.

T for Tyrant: Trump's American autocracy. A tyrant with absolute power. What can you do? Join a local Indivisible group, host a meeting, plan an action to fight Trump, read the Indivisible Guide on how to resist Trump's agenda. www.indivisibleguide.com/ We the people are fighting to save our country, our democracy, and our lives.

For our first show, we discussed political parties and how they impact our political system from the ground up. Our first interview is with Dave Kaib, a researcher at American University and the organizer of DC Jacobin and related activities in the district. Our second interview is with Kip Malinosky, a middle school civics teacher who also works as the chair of the Arlington Democrats. In between, we played the song “Mindhead” from local punk band Puff Pieces. You can find their latest album “Bland in D.C.” on Bandcamp and can follow them on Facebook to learn about upcoming shows. Call to Action Resources Local political parties are ultimately made up of small groups of activists who show up to meetings, organize canvassing and phone banks, and help to create party priorities through by influencing internal actions through their engagement. Our first call to action is a simple one: get involved with your local political party! Here are some resources to help you engage with political parties in the area. Don’t see the political party that represents you? Remember that Google is your friend! A listing of state affiliates of the Democratic Party: http://asdc.democrats.org/state-parties/ Virginia local Democratic Parties: http://vademocrats.org/localities/ Arlington Democrats: http://www.arlingtondemocrats.org/ D.C. Democrats: http://www.dcdemocraticparty.org/ Maryland Democrats: https://www.mddems.org/party-organization A listing of state and local affiliates of the Democratic Socialists of America: http://www.dsausa.org/chapters A listing of state and local affiliates of the Green Party: http://www.gp.org/state_parties Finally, while most of our shows will focus on specifically local calls to action, we wanted to highlight the viral guide to influencing Congress that’s been making the rounds. The Indivisible Guide is being used to progressive activists around the country to make their voice heard and to make life hard for GOP (and Democratic) members of Congress who choose to ignore them at their own peril. Download the guide, read up on what you can do, and join in the fun of exercising your rights to lobby your representatives.

The Women's March website and the Indivisible Guide website are both mentioned in this episode.    Marsha and Kelly both attended marches and they talk about the experience.  So many knitters made so many Pussyhats!  The Ewes have also been thinking about 2017 goals, and the political realm, along with some personal challenges of the past year, have played a part in that thought process.  If you are a new listener, you might want to listen to a different episode first.  This one is not typical of the podcast, but we thought it was an important discussion to share with you.

9 January 2017 – We’re baaaaack…! This week we kept is simple and talked about what we can all do to fight the good fight. For short term specifics we talked about the ACA Day of Action, scheduled for 15 January in cities and towns all around the nation and a sampling of many of the actions scheduled for Inauguration weekend. Will used his block to talk again about the importance of Democrats who live in rural spaces, how to listen to them and how to activate them. I talked about the Indivisible Guide a fabulous new tool for optimizing the effectiveness of protest actions aimed at your members of Congress. Here are the “tools” links recommended by the Indivisible Guide: Call My Congress– Congressional office contact information GovTrack– Congressional district maps Vote Smart – voting history Open Secrets– campaign donation data Google Alerts – set one for all your representatives, federal and state so you know when something is written in the media about them Google News – find out which reporters are covering your representatives and district then follow those reporters on Twitter; remember to personalize your news with the names of your members of Congress Here is just a sampling of the actions scheduled for the short term: The Women’s March Students Walk-Out Against Trump Not My President Occupy Inauguration: Chicago – one of many, many local protests planned look for one near you Finally, here is that great New Republic article, Progressive Protesters are Ready for Trump. Thanks, Obama, by Graham Vyse and the New York Times editorial by Charles Blow, The Anti-Inauguration. We have a fabulous interview coming up next week with Catherine Vaughan and other founding members of flippable.org. Until then, carrots! – Arliss

Mike talks to Jeremy Haile, co-author of the Indivisible Guide - a practical guide to influencing Members of Congress, written by a team of former Congressional staffers.

Since then, Jeremy has worked in criminal justice reform advocacy at The Sentencing Project and as a public interest lawyer in San Francisco. A longtime activist, Jeremy's advocacy has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and NPR's All Things Considered.
