SUMMARY:Origami in Action : Birds of Peace & Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue to learn the basics of origami\, and explore various types of birds. We will discuss using our newly learned in skills in creating origami as a protest art. You are welcome to come\, relax\, and join us in simply creating origami. \n\n\n\nOr\, you have the option to join us in the following action…. \n\n\n\nWe hope to create as many origami birds as possible. Long considered a symbol of peace and hope\, we plan to come together and deliver them to the nearest ice detention center on President’s Day\, February 16\, 2026. \n\n\n\nPerhaps we’ll gather them in a garland to hang on a fence or from a tree. It won’t matter if there is one bird or an entire flock—the symbolism is the same: In these times of chaos and lack of empathy\, where hatred is made acceptable\, we will stand together for peace. We will stand for the love of one another. We will recognize the inherent worth of all of us\, no matter from where we come. We will reaffirm that all people deserve to be treated with respect\, justice\, equity and compassion. \n\n\n\nWe welcome you to join us. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for exact address\n\n\n\nMore Info and dates\n\n\n\n\nFeel free to contact us with any questions you might have\, at salemscall@yahoo.com. \n\n\n\nThis is a free workshop. Donations appreciated\, but certainly not required. \n\n\n\nLocated at Deborah & Meara’s house \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

SUMMARY:Annual January 6th Never Forget\, Never Back Down Rally
DESCRIPTION:It is almost impossible to believe that\, in the wake of the 5th anniversary of the January 6th\, 2021 Insurrection\, the Fellon/Rapist/Chronic\, Habitual Liar has another year to try and destroy democracy \n\n\n\nJoin those of us who are sane\, who remember the attack on our Capital Building and the attempted overturning of our Constitution to remind the MAGA Republicans that they do not leave the knowledge of their corruption behind as they try harder to destroy our democracy! \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for address\n\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, we held 11 Overpass Standouts and multiple Street-side protests. Our work is cut out for us in 2026. We are gathering on January 6th to remember the assault on our democracy 5 years ago and now daily with ICE raids. We want MAGA to know that we are fighting back. Whatever corruption and criminal activity they commit\, we are watching and will hold them accountable. Let them know”Cowards Wear Masks!” \n\n\n\nJanuary 6th is the first of many actions we will take to save our democracy. Please join us\, no matter the weather\, and remind MAGA that their actions will catch up with them. They will be punished for their rejection of the rule of law\, their rejection of our Constitution\, their brutalityin the name of the USA. \n\n\n\nDemocracy is stronger than greed! Let’s make a show of its strength on January 6th!
