Tell your No Kings story
People connect most with personal stories from those they know and love. The more visible we can make the movement, the more we can remind our friends, family, and associates about why we choose to fight, the more likely we are to continue to gather allies. No Kings gained two million people between June and October, let’s keep that momentum going.
Being loud, being visible, being brave enough to continue to speak up when federal agents are grabbing Americans off the street, may give someone else the courage to act too.
- Gather your photos (optional)
- Write up a short story (doesn't have to be long)
- Why you chose to take action
- What it was like to be at No Kings Day
- Did you do any specific work for No Kings Day
- Share it on social media, through texts, emails, or even send a letter if that’s more your style
- If you like, we'll post it on the WC Indivisible public Facebook page and/or this website. We can post your story anonymously, with just your initials, or your full name. It's up to you. Send your story HERE.

Avelo Airlines flies in and out of BWI airport. In April, they became the only passenger airline in the country to fly deportation flights for ICE.
Please sign and share this petition demanding the State of Maryland end all collaboration with Avelo Airlines and stop allowing them access to BWI Airport while they profit from Trump's illegal and immoral deportations.

Civil Servants Demand an End to Executive Overreach
Join federal workers from across the government as we urge Congress to pass nothing less than a continuing resolution (CR) that reasserts Congress's constitutional powers, upholds our democracy and protects the American people.
Allies outside the government are now welcome to sign in support (use the pull down to indicate your status!). We will provide regular updates on the signer breakdown.
Here is the link to sign the Federal Employees “fighting CR” request -

On Nov. 1, Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces in most states will begin to open for enrollment for the coming year.
Unless Congress acts, more than 90% of people enrolled in ACA health care plans will see their out-of-pocket premiums jump by more than 75% on average. And millions could lose coverage altogether when a key tax credit drops at the end of the year.
Rising costs for Affordable Care Act health care plans ultimately will result in higher health care costs for everyone—including those who get their health insurance through their jobs. The last thing families need is even higher health care bills at a time when we’re also dealing with the rising costs of food, housing, electricity, gas and other essentials.
Congress must act immediately. Please make a call to tell your senators and representative to stop the health care price spike NOW! Call 855-493-4407.
Across the country, headlines are warning of double-digit increases in health care costs. But national Republican leaders refuse to acknowledge that they must address this tidal wave of rising health insurance prices.
President Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are refusing to commit to preserving these tax credits for working people. They control every branch of government—and they need to fix this crisis.
We cannot stand by as the leaders who control Congress spike health care costs so high that millions will lose their insurance. Make a call here.
Thank you for taking action today.

Call for a full investigation into the threats made by FCC Chairman Carr and the potential collaboration of broadcasters
ABC/Disney put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. We took action. We broke through. WE WON.
To the thousands of you who canceled your subscriptions, postponed your Disney vacations, and made ABC/Disney hear your voice: Thank you. You proved to one of the world’s most powerful corporations that there’s a price to pay for bending the knee, and together we notched an important victory for free speech.
But our work isn’t done. We still need a full investigation into the threats made by FCC Chairman Carr and the potential collaboration of broadcasters Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group. Here’s what you can do next:
Email your representative to demand that Carr and his corporate collaborators at Nexstar/Sinclair are called before Congress to testify. We need to ensure they answer, under oath, about what went on in the days surrounding Carr’s mafioso threat and Kimmel’s removal from the airwaves. (You can also call during business hours.)
To sustain and grow our resistance, it’s important to celebrate our wins -- and this is one to be proud of. So please savor this people-powered victory and allow yourself, and those around you, to draw energy and inspiration from it. Let’s use it to carry us forward into the next phase of the fight.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. Boycotts are meant to accomplish a goal, and ours -- pushing ABC/Disney to defy Trump and air Kimmel -- has been achieved. We’ll keep a close eye on Disney’s actions moving forward, but we’re no longer calling for a boycott. If or when you choose to resume purchasing Disney services is entirely up to you.
