=================================
San Jose, CA. Indivisible San Jose members joined hundreds of San Jose residents for the city’s first “listening session” on more data centers in our city. San Jose has 20 data centers now with 34 more in the pipeline. The room was filled with people of all ages and backgrounds, and most of us had one thing in common... a moratorium on future data center growth.

Sheffield, MA — Without a doubt, a small group of dedicated resisters can have an enormous effect on the larger of group of people passing by. Our standout for democracy, every Friday afternoon for eight months now. As long as democracy needs saving!
=================================
Suffolk VA Weekly Protest. Before we even got organized to go to our 4 corners (grabbing signs for the road edges and ones to hold) people were honking. They seem to expect to see us now and things have changed drastically because of the Republicans tearing our country down! Rare to get a Trump lover.
=================================
Every Saturday in Richardson, TX just north of Dallas. A lot more honks and waves than the few fingers we got. We’re feeling good about Texas Dems!

=================================
Pittsfield MA.
As tRump insists on turning the burner up on the chaos cooker, we’re seeing both more protesters and more honks, and less middle finger salutes. Purely empirical, but the needle is moving in the right direction, at least in Pittsfield MA, where our Primary Election is on September 1st, and mail in balloting is already underway.

Stand Up for Democracy in South Burlington, VT, hosted by Champlain Valley Indivisible, Saturday, August 22, 2026. Our group stood along the roadside close to the busy entrances to a local mall where many people were headed for back-to-school shopping. The majority of the responses were very supportive.

MiddlesexCTIndivisible every Saturday 10-12. Our morning started out with a bunch of MAGA-types flipping us off, insulting us, a “Christian” woman yelling “f**k you to us and flipping us off, very nasty. After that we had huge support from cars, pickup trucks, business trucks, people from all walks of life.

Sign rally, Eagan, Mn, 8/22
=================================
Again today, 20 Cold Hollow Indivisible volunteers gathered in support of our democracy in Enosburg, VT.
Our counter protesters were also there with blaring music and yelling curses as usual. They put this Trump poster on our side of the road each week. This week, we decided to decorate it!
One of our folks went over and conversed with them for a while. Not sure how that went, but did appreciate the quiet.

This is an ongoing group protesting at Pride Park in Red Lodge, MT. We have been gathering on Fridays since February 28, 2025, to protest this regime. This past Friday resulted in conversations with passersby visiting from Minnesota, Ohio, North Dakota, and Arizona, all of whom were pleasantly surprised to find us in what they all believe to be a red state. We are hopeful that we are making a difference.

When the toddler leaves the Whitehouse the first thing I want taken down is that disgusting hall of pictures of the presidents. I want the picture of president Biden and the auto pen burned. Next get rid of the tacky gold, melt it down or sell it the money going to worthwhile charity, the rose garden put back, trees replaced and last but certainly not least the gaudy , tacky, ballroom (if built) a wrecking ball taken to it . Any and all things with his name “86” . Maybe have a smudge with sage to clear the air and cleanse “the peoples house”
I am at the Network NOVA Women's Summit this weekend and had the pleasure of hearing Robert's presentation "Turning Crisis into Power" yesterday afternoon. It was masterful!
