Note: this episode originally published on 01/07/25. Well, here we are. The second inauguration of Donald Trump is quickly approaching. And there's no doubt that progressives have a lot of work to do in the months and years ahead. Our guest this week co-founded one of the biggest groups that initially came about in response to Trump 1.0. Leah Greenberg is co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, an organization with a mission to organize thousands of local groups to resist the GOPs agenda, elect local champions and fight for progressive policies. She joins WITHpod to discuss lessons learned from the past, ideas within Indivisible's “Practical Guide to Democracy on The Brink” and glimmers of hope as ordinary people fight back.

Among the backdrop of Trump's military parade, thousands of "No Kings" protests are expected today -- two of the protest organizers slam Trump's threat of heavy force against protesters. Plus, there's growing concerns about the politicization of the U.S. military after uniformed soldiers cheered and booed in reaction to the President's political statements at a speech at Fort Bragg. Retired Army Lieutenant General Steff Twitty, Retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Rob D'Amico, and the WSJ's Nancy Youssef join The Weekend.

Protest has long been a tool for change in American life. But in an age of political gridlock and viral outrage, what actually works? Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible— one of several progressive groups organizing “No Kings Day” protests —joins Audie to talk about their strategy, and how they are preparing considering the Trump Administration's reaction to ICE protests in Los Angeles.

Ezra Levin, co-executive director and co-founder of Indivisible and Debbie Weiss, Indivisible's first-ever moderator, join David and Rachel to talk about building the coaltion to say no, and to reassert democratic control of the country. Ezra talks about how Indivisible launched from a Google doc that he and Leah Greenberg co-wrote, and the transformative potential of a nonviolent movement of local communities protesting peacefully and boisterously and demonstrating to each other that we are not alone in fighting authoritarianism. Debbie talks about the Mod Squad, coins the term "weathervaning," and offers practical tips for how everyone and anyone can contribute, and both underline the message that only the people can save democracy. Ezra also reminds us all that gathering in your community to protect each other is the most human thing you can do. Find the full audio library of Blue Vote Café episodes at http://bluevotecafe.com.

Protest is the new brunch again. We're witnessing historic levels of pro-democracy grassroots engagement across a broad-based movement of everyday people. The leaders of Indivisible join Tim to discuss how the movement needs to stay focused on what it agrees on— no kings—and to save ideological disputes for another day. Plus, it also needs to get more young people involved. But it definitely should keep ignoring political consultants who tell Dems not to talk about immigration— because it turns out that the federal government kidnapping people off the street is not popular. Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg join Tim Miller. show notes Indivisible's "No Kings" protest day

Tonight on The Last Word: The Wall Street Journal reports Donald Trump privately acknowledged his tariffs could spark a recession. Also, a federal judge demands updates on the efforts made to return a deported Maryland man. Plus, Democrats seek to keep the momentum against the Trump agenda with the House and Senate in recess. And Trump sends a special envoy to meet with Vladimir Putin in Russia. Robert Reich, Laurence Tribe, Rep. Joe Neguse, Leah Greenberg, and Amb. Michael McFaul join Ali Velshi.

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Monday, April 7, and reports on the nationwide “Hands Off” protests against the policies of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Trump's tariff-driven market meltdown and the escalating legal battle over his deportation flights. Andrew Ross Sorkin, Leah Greenberg and Maya Wiley join.

Sen. Chuck Schumer faces the ire of furious Democrats incensed that he helped Trump and Musk pass their government funding bill. Plus, the detainment of a Columbia University student activist raises alarms over free speech in America.

We open the show with a piece from Christopher Rufo, adding credence to the theory I talked about yesterday, about intentionally seeding the Federal government with people who are mentally unwell. General Flynn revealed that whistleblowers are coming out of the wood-work and criminality is going to be highlighted very soon, starting with former FBI Director James Comey. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) wanted to know if USAID money went to any other terrorist organizations besides the Taliban. Turns out we have funded dozens of them. When asked about safeguards, you will shocked to hear, as one example, how we funneled $2.1 billion to Hamas since October 7, 2023. We should not be surprised, given the corruption inside USAID. In fact, Sharyl Attkisson gives us a soundbite where she has been reporting about such corruption for many years. As further example, seems there has been over $160 million USAID dollars that have been funneled into an NGO, benefiting Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). Even worse, it seems Rep. Hakeem Jeffries's (D-NY) campaign may have Smurfed his supporters to the tune of over $1.1 million dollars. And we have discovered more USAID funds flowing to Norm Eisen's own daughter's 501(c)4, Tamar Eisen. The good news is Chief Justice Roberts has put a stop to the activist lower court judges, allowing President Trump to continue his pause on money flowing out of USAID. We discussed the astroturfing PsyOp used to create the fake narrative that MAGA voters are now suffering from buyers remorse. This was tried on Speaker Mike Johnson, who blew it out of the water. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has announced the creation of a new site to register illegal aliens. Those who self-register will get the aid of the US government in sending them back home, where they can then apply to return legally. And speaking of the border, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reminds us of the big lie both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were selling about not being able to secure it. As we wrap up, we introduce you to Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin who are funding the agitators to infiltrate GOP town halls and flood their phone lines. And, to once again prove how the Left uses such operations, we show you a panel discussion on MSNBC. Don't believe the manure they are shoveling.

House Republicans are suddenly facing angry voter revolts back at home over Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Some of them are reportedly in a “panic” about DOGE's increasingly destructive cuts and firings. Meanwhile, Musk just ordered federal employees to list their accomplishments or risk termination. But some senior Trump administration officials defied Musk, telling employees they had no obligation to respond. What if Musk's DOGE effort is shaping up as a full blown fiasco for President Trump and the GOP? How should Democrats capitalize? We talked to Leah Greenberg, a co-founder of Indivisible, about what she's seeing on the ground, what the prospects are for mobilizing a sustained opposition, and what comes next.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Democrats have become more active in trying to stop the worst of Trump - and Musk - Harold Meyerson of The American Prospect comments on Senate and House leaders - and on the recent administration attacks on the NLRB.Also: Trump's strategy of flooding the zone with executive actions is intended to paralyze the opposition. But there's lots of grassroots mobilization underway right now, and one of the biggest organizers of that mobilization is Indivisible. Leah Greenberg will explain the group's strategy and tactics -- and this week's work assignments -- to get four Republicans to vote “No” on Trump's terrible nominees. Leah is one of the co-founders and co-executive directors of Indivisible.

The Trump administration's goal is going to be to divide and conquer. To isolate us from each other and break our resolve and spirit, but Indivisible believes, that if we stand together, we can protect our families, our neighbors, and our democracy. That our shared future depends on every day Americans choosing to fight back. To treat an attack on one of us as an attack on all of us, and they've written a Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink to help us do just that. The Guide is a set of strategies and common sense steps for anyone living in America feeling upset, scared, or determined to do something. This is a hopeful and fired up episode for those of us done mourning and ready for action. Mainstream media has let us down, so we need to support those doing independent work more than ever. The extremists were able to shape the minds of this nation because the far right invested in their voices early and often. Please give the counter message an opportunity to fight back.

In a striking piece, Politico reports that many GOP operatives are alarmed about a new dynamic in the presidential race. It's that the surge in enthusiasm among Democrats for Kamala Harris's candidacy is driving a big disparity in fundraising between the parties, leaving GOP Senate and House candidates underfunded and in danger. As Politico puts it: “Panic is starting to set in.” To gauge how serious this is, we talked to veteran organizer Leah Greenberg, co-founder of the progressive group Indivisible, about whether on-the-ground enthusiasm and organizing strength constitute a hidden advantage for Democrats that the media is missing.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThis week on Politix, Matt and Brian discuss:* The $83.3 million a New York jury ordered Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll for sexually assaulting then serially defaming her.* The related GOP freakout that America's most influential person (Taylor Swift) might not like Republicans very much!* Why Democratic Party leaders seem uninterested in pressing their “not led by a rapist” advantage.They also put a pin in the issue of immigration, and the simmering nullification crisis Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is stoking along the U.S.-Mexico border. Then, paid subscribers hear a conversation with Leah Greenberg, cofounder of Indivisible, about whether it's important to mobilize street protests against Donald Trump before the election (like the recent marches against the German far right), and the extent to which policy activism and policymaking contribute to the demobilization of the resistance. Further reading:* Dara Lind on how the Senate border security bill won't actually fix the problem Republicans claim to want to fix. * Brian on how the judgment in the Carroll case explains Trump's desperation to run Nikki Haley out of the GOP primary instead of letting her flame out.* Jonathan Chait on whether the anti-Trump coalition has irretrievably splintered.

The runaway favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination will soon be under felony indictment in three, or maybe four jurisdictions, but most leading Democrats are withholding comment on Donald Trump's mounting legal problems. Joe Biden has reportedly ordered his campaign and the Democratic National Committee to keep quiet about it, even as Republicans work overtime to try to muddy Biden's far more ethical record of conduct. Why aren't Democrats doing more to emphasize character contrast between Biden and Trump? Are voters too mired in their personal circumstances to care which politicians are corrupt or cruel? Do appeals to their material well being, rather than appeals to morality, decency, or ethics reach more people? Faiz Shakir, the chair of Bernie Sanders's 2020 campaign and founder of More Perfect Union, and Leah Greenberg, an executive director of Indivisible, join host Brian Beutler to hash it out. Should Democrats (other than Joe Biden himself) be more engaged in salacious infowars with the right? Or should they leave that kind of red meat politics to Republicans while building a singular economic policy appeal?

Today we are celebrating the huge win out of Georgia in the Senate Runoff! Thanks to the work of organizers, a great candidate in Rev. Warnock, and the perseverance of Georgia voters, Democrats will go into 2023 with a larger Senate majority than we have had in the last 2 years, 51-49. And we still have a little bit of time left in Congress' hopefully, not-so-lame duck session, so joining us to talk about our legislative opportunities and how we make the most of them, is co-founder and co-director of Indivisible, Leah Greenberg! www.indivisible.org Follow us on Twitter: @HowWeWinPod @BluesBoySteve @jenancona www.howwewinpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

We kick off this week's show with a look at the immigration reform bill Democrats unveiled this week, which will likely be a key test of Joe Biden's belief that he can get legislation passed through the Senate with bipartisan support.Then we're joined by Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, to talk about the vitally important fight for democratic reforms. Greenberg was one of a handful of former Congressional staffers whose analysis of the Tea Party movement's success under Obama provided a template for resisting Trump. Now they are part of a coalition pushing Democrats to use their power to create a more even electoral playing field. Right now, that hinges largely on persuading Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to support filibuster reform.And then we get the latest on Covid-19 from epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding, a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists. We talk about vaccines and reopening schools and some of the new variants emerging in various parts of the world.PlaylistThe Mavericks: "Come Unto Me"Jacob Miller: "Tenement Yard"Nina Simone: "Baltimore" 

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.

INDIVISIBLE CHICAGO PODCAST SHOW NOTES FOR DECEMBER 28, 2020 1. ICYMI: Celebrating President-elect Biden, and reflections on riding the emotional roller coaster from November 2 to November 7, 2020. While there may be trouble ahead, for today, let's face the music and dance. 2. On Thanksgiving Day in 2016, at a holiday gathering in Austin, Texas, Indivisible was born. Three years later, an Indivisible organization exists in every congressional district in America. This week, an encore presentation with founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, and an interview recorded in November 2019. We talk about the evolution of Indivisible, some of the lessons learned over the past three years, and what’s happening to ensure electoral reform — all of which is cleverly recounted in their book, We are Indivisible.

For Indivisible, last Tuesday's election was the culmination for four years of work. It has given us a lot to celebrate, some things to assess, and a chance to consider what is next, both in the days and weeks leading up to President-elect Biden's inauguration on January 20th, and then into 2021 and beyond. We are joined by Indivisible co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, to talk about our big win, and to break down the game plan between now and Inauguration Day, a series of action steps called “Closing the Door on 2020.” Closing the Door on 2020: https://indivisible.org/resource/showing-2020-door

With just two weeks left until the American election, activists Leah Greenberg and Lori Goldman join Christiane Amanpour to discuss a key demographic - suburban white women. Then, Walter Isaacson speaks to political theorist Danielle Allen about Harvard University’s coronavirus response and why she thinks rampant factionalism is a major roadblock to governance. Turning to music, in a conversation originally aired in February, David Byrne talks about his vision of a diverse and harmonious American Utopia. Correspondent David Culver meets the people eager to get in line for vaccine trails in the Chinese city of Yiwu.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Joining us for a really timely interview today, is the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of the Indivisible Project, Leah Greenberg. We cover a lot of important ground including actions around the Supreme Court, what Trump’s coronavirus infection means for the election, and of course, the importance of voting early.

We have the unique opportunity to speak with Ezra Levin the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Indivisible. Along with his co-founder and spouse Leah Greenberg, Ezra has been featured as one of TIME 100's Most Influential People of 2019, included on GQ's 50 Most Powerful People in Trump's Washington, and ranked #2 on the Politico 50 list of top thinkers, doers and visionaries transforming American politics. He has appeared as a commentator on and/or been interviewed by MSNBC, CNN, NPR, Pod Save America, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, TIME Magazine, the New Yorker, the Nation, Slate, and Rolling Stone, among others. He is the co-author of We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump. Indivisible is a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda. We dig deep on the SCOTUS nomination after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and what we can do to prevent this forced nomination right before an election. We discuss the hopeless feeling of not being able to do anything for political change given the current political climate and Ezra highlights concrete actions we can take and how Indivisible is mobilizing nationwide. We discuss the inaction of the Democratic Party and how the changes in the current Democratic party must move more progressive. We discuss some of the archaic notions of our democracy and how there needs to be a shift in the concept of the Electoral College, uneven Senate Representation and the possibility of term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court.  We also talk about third and fourth party inclusion and how that can help to break the gridlock without being given only two choices. We discuss how the opposite of a Mitch McConnell power grab is not a Democrat power grab - but that process should be democracy. Ezra reminds all of us that simply winning an election is not the end of the work we all must do.  January 22nd we all have to be active to hold our leaders accountable and move them toward policies that affect real change. Inspiring words from an inspiring organization.    

With fewer than 100 days to go before the November general election, there's a lot of work to do, and Indivisible has a plan for that. We talk with co-founder and co-director Leah Greenberg about the launch of Windivisible, a comprehensive, nationwide push to flip the Senate, keep the House, and get rid of Trump.

Wife and husband political dynamos Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin talk about Indivisible–both the movement they co-founded and the book they co-wrote–and the inspiring strategies they are proving are effective for grassroots political change. (Recorded at our Prospect Lefferts Gardens store on November 5, 2019)

Envisioning the future is key to movement politics. But what happens to that vision when the world as you know it comes to a screeching halt? For Democratic activists, that is the current reality, as they prepare for what is being touted as the most important election of our lifetimes. With Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidency, organizers are shifting their field operations to account for the coronavirus pandemic while adjusting their messaging for the new reality. But what comes after November? For this episode of Crosscut Talks, host Mark Baumgarten speaks with Leah Greenberg, the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, about how her organization is moving forward with its mission to unseat Donald Trump; how she believes former Vice President Biden is handling his campaign in the midst of the crisis, as well as the sexual assault allegation against him; and what the next few months mean for the future of the Democratic Party and the country. We also check in with Crosscut Opinion columnist Katie Wilson about the impending recession and the future of the U.S. economy. 

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

The show will be back next week, but this week, we revisit our favorite interview of 2019, a discussion with Indivisible co-founders and co-executive directors, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, on their new book, “We Are Indivisible.” Buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/We-Are-Indivisible-Blueprint-Democracy/dp/1982129972/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=we+are+indivisible&qid=1578015020&sr=8-1

Leah Greenberg joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about how Indivisible is helping thousands of local groups elect progressive leaders and support progressive policies to defeat the Trump agenda. Leah also discusses her new book "We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump".

After President Donald Trump was elected, two congressional staffers wrote a guide to “resisting the Trump agenda,” which immediately went viral. Known as “Indivisible,” the guide sparked a grassroots movement across the country, and invisible groups are now working across the country to advocate for progressive leaders and policies. Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, who are married, are the cofounders and executive directors of Indivisible and have published a book about the story of the movement: “We are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump.” They join Sam Wang and Julian Zelizer in today’s episode to discuss. Before starting Indivisible, Levin, an alumnus of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, was a federal antipoverty advocate. Greenberg was a human trafficking policy advocate on Capitol Hill. The two have been listed in Time’s “100 Most Influential People of 2019,” Politico 50 list, and GQ’s “50 Most Powerful People in Trump’s Washington.”

What would you do if a Google doc you made went viral, and suddenly groups across the country were implementing your ideas to plan political action in their communities? If you’re Leah Greenberg, you’d found Indivisible—the national nonprofit she started with her husband Ezra Levin after the 2016 election.Now Leah and Ezra have co-authored a new book about what they learned creating Indivisible and supporting thousands of local Indivisible groups around the country, and how all of us can join the fight for more inclusive democracy. It’s called We are Indivisible, A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump, and it’s just in time to kick you into gear for the 2020 election. We started off resisting Trump, but we know that Trump's not the problem. We know that Trump is a symptom, and that if we had a healthy democratic society that valued the lives and equality of all of its people, Donald Trump would never have gotten remotely close to the White House. And so fundamentally we felt like what was crucial for us, and what was crucial for the movement, was that we were moving from resisting Trump to resisting Trumpism, and tackling the kind of fundamental flaws at the heart of democracy that were making our country vulnerable to Trumpism.—Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible We talk about: What made Leah and Ezra create the Indivisible guide—even though peers warned them it could ruin their careersHow to put pressure on elected officials, and why working with a community group makes political engagement more successful and more sustainable Why it’s crucial to get out of campaign mode and avoid burning staff and volunteers outWhat it’s like to run an organization and write a book with your partner Plus: It’s our last show of the year! Sara and Katel talk about what they’ll be bringing with them into 2020, what they’ll be leaving behind, and what all of you should listen to while Strong Feelings is off the air this winter.

Today we've got Ezra Levin, co-author of the book We Are Indivisible (along with his wife Leah Greenberg) to talk about how he fell, by his own account, ass-backwards into leading a national political movement. We discuss the nature of political organizing in the online age, what objectives Indivisible is focusing on, and what lessons others might learn from them. Enjoy!

The founders of Indivisible talk about reverse-engineering the Tea Party playbook, reminding progressives that all politics is truly local, and pushing Democrats to get serious about eliminating the filibuster, revamping the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court, and making Washington, D.C., a state.

I don't usually do a show on Mondays, but sometimes the sheer volume and importance of the news demands it. So here we are to report the news of the day, recap Friday's testimony of Ambassador Marie Yavonovich in preparation for this week's hearings, and talk with Indivisible co-founder and co-executive director Leah Greenberg about the white nationalist inside the White House.

While Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin were here in Washington to promote their new book, “We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump,” they sat down for a discussion with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal at University Temple United Methodist Church in Seattle. We are proud to present that talk for you here on the podcast in its entirety.

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.

Democracy Reform When American democracy was conceived, the US was comprised of 13 states on the Eastern Seaboard, with a population of just over 2.5 million. The 18th and 19th century version of our democracy was meant for a smaller, less populous, and overwhelmingly whiter nation than the America we live in today. In order to preserve and strengthen our democracy for the future, we must engage in progressive reforms. One example is removing outdated and arbitrary procedures like the filibuster, which enables a slim minority to hold up meaningful policy changes for all. Grassroots Organizing is Key Representative democracy ultimately means governmental power is held by the people, not just those elected to represent them. The most effective way to get your voice heard is to organize like-minded individuals, or join groups that share your values, and set out to make a difference on national, regional, or local issues. When many voices join together to demand change, it’s often impossible to ignore. Organized, grassroots activism has the power to sway elections and elected officials in ways that individuals do not. From Anti-Trump to Pro-Democracy At its inception, Indivisible was a direct response to the 2016 election: it was an anti-Trump movement that gained widespread support around the country as a platform dedicated to defeating the Trump agenda. Since then, Indivisible has evolved into a wide-ranging pro-democracy movement. Defeating the Trump agenda is now seen as a facet of progressive democratic reform. The goals have changed into a well-rounded effort to stem anti-democratic practices throughout our government and ensure progressive reforms are made to safeguard a fair and free future. Find out more: Ezra Levin is the Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, which he co-founded with Leah Greenberg in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. The Indivisible Project's mission is to cultivate a grassroots movement of literally thousands of local Indivisible groups to elect progressive leaders, realize bold progressive policies, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda. Previously, he worked as an Associate Director of Federal Policy for Prosperity Now, a non-profit, anti-poverty organization. Before that, he held the post of Deputy Policy Director for Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and served in the Congressman’s election campaign. He is the co-author of We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump, which hits stands on November 5, 2019.

It started as a google doc. Just a year later Indivisible has 6,000 groups around the country and hundreds of thousands of members resisting President Trump's agenda. Now they are pivoting to the 2018 midterms with the goal to make congress more progressive.

Dan and Tom talk about Trump in Russia, how bad Dan is at prognosticating, and unsanctioned fireworks. Greg Harris, Chief House Democrat Budget Negotiator, sits down with Tom to talk about the new budget. He gets into the details about how they passed the budget and what has to happen next. Leah Greenberg, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, joins us to talk about how the Indivisible Guide was created and how far it has exceeded anyones goals. We also talk about the success of the resistance and the future of the Democratic Party.

Since the election, Democrats have struggled with how to respond to a Donald Trump presidency. But one group is starting to get some traction - the authors of an online guide that is going viral: “Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.” Originally posted as a Google document, the guide was co-written by former Congressional staffers Ezra Levin and Angel Padilla, who both received their Master in Public Affairs from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, Leah Greenberg, and others. At the heart of the publication are two ideas: presidential power is not unlimited, and Congress responds to pressure when applied the right way. Levin and Padilla use their real-world experience with the Tea Party as a model for how citizens can keep the pressure on Congress and get results. In episode #26 of Politics & Polls, Professors Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang discuss the Indivisible guide in depth with Levin and Padilla. Levin is D.C.-based domestic poverty policy wonk. He's served as associate director of government affairs at the Corporation for Enterprise Development, deputy policy director for Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) and at AmeriCorps VISTA in the Homeless Services Division of the San Jose Department of Housing. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Carleton College and a Master in Public Affairs from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. Padilla works for an immigrant rights nonprofit on federal health care advocacy. Padilla previously worked as an immigration policy consultant at National Council of La Raza. From 2009 until 2011, he worked for Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), advising on issues related to health care and the Affordable Care Act, among others. Padilla also has interned with the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council and the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House. He is a graduate of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
