Our Leaders and Institutions Won’t Fight Unless We Demand It
Saturday will be the single biggest day of protests since Trump retook office
Saturday will be the single biggest day of protests since Trump retook office.
Tomorrow is already going to be big, but we’re counting on everyone to grab some poster boards, some friends, and a few snacks so they can turn out to make it historically huge. The moment could not be bigger or more timely:
The crackdown on peaceful protest is coming. We all know Trump, Musk, and their MAGA enablers will come after peaceful protesters if they can carry on unopposed much longer. And when that crackdown comes, it needs to be alien, inexcusable, indefensible, and untenable.
We’re showing up on April 5 because, if we don’t, it will be so much harder to do so on May 5, June 5, or beyond. Tomorrow is when we set the tone that peaceful protests against this administration are widespread, unstoppable, and only getting bigger.
Our leaders and institutions won’t fight unless we demand it. If anyone expected the powers that be to save us from the fascistic Musk-Trump power grab, they’ve been proven very wrong, very quickly.
Too many institutions—from law firms to academia to corporations and the media—have chosen to meekly bow down to Trump and Musk’s demands. Too many congressional Democrats have chosen complicity over bold resistance.
Cory Booker made clear during his historic marathon speech on the Senate floor that he was responding to pressure from his constituents to do more.
The message we send Saturday is aimed at those who share our values as much as it is at Trump and Musk. Together, we’re demanding they do more and fight harder—knowing that hundreds of thousands of their constituents have their backs if they do.
We have Elon Musk on the ropes. His approval rating is in the toilet. His bid to buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race failed spectacularly. And now Donald Trump’s privately admitting it may be time to show DOGE the door.
By peacefully protesting the Musk-Trump Coup and educating voters about its danger to their pocketbooks and our democracy, Indivisibles and our allies have turned Elon Musk into a political pariah everywhere outside the Oval Office—and now it’s time to turn up the heat even further.
When we turn out and march by the hundreds of thousands—in DC, in all fifty states, and even overseas—we’ll show Trump, Musk, and their fascist allies that they’re facing a unified movement even bigger, more organized, and more politically powerful than they imagined.
We will not stand idly by as Musk and Trump raid our government to divide its spoils among their billionaire buddies.
If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save.
Sign up for a protest tomorrow to rise up together with one demand: Hands Off!
- Indivisible
They won't sit down if we don't stand up!
Hell yes! I think it’s also important to make sure we are contacting the local orgs that provide legal observers to give law enforce extra incentives to respect the 1st and 4th Amendments.
And I think it’s important that our signers reflect our demands, as opposed to our complaints. The rest of the world needs to know how we envision the next era of the US. LFG!
