Join the good troublemakers of Southeastern Massachusetts for a flash mob rally at the Plain Street traffic light in front of Roche Brothers to protest the Trump regime’s unconstitutional actions. Every Tuesday morning, there is a protest in Marshfield to support democracy and stand up against the unconstitutional Trump regime.
A 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.
Protests began on January 24 with more than 40 standouts and 1000 people at Citizens Banks across the northeast. On March 7, there were 70 standouts along the eastern seaboard. On June 6, the most recent coordinated standouts, there were more than 140 events in 15 states in the eastern U.S. and California.
We’re keeping the pressure on! Sign up and join this protest sponsored by Indivisible LAB—Lexngton, Arlington, Bedford, and Beyond. Address available upon registration.
Citizens Bank claims it’s dedicated to fostering strong communities. Yet it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support and services to CoreCivic and The GEO Group—the country’s large for-profit prison and detention center builders and operators. While other US banks have pulled out of the business, Citizens Bank has deepened its ties with the big winners in ICE’s war on immigrants.
If you choose to, bring a sign with a message such as Citizens Banks: Stop Financing ICE Prisons! Citizens Bank: Get Out of ICE Business!
We’ll have signs and handouts available.

In 2024, PA-10 was the second closest House race in the country. Janelle Stelson came within just 5,133 votes of beating Scott Perry. If recent polls are any indicator, he won’t be so lucky this time.
Stelson was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, and grew up in the Seattle area of Washington. She received a bachelor of arts degree in politics and government from the University of Puget Sound.
Stelson is a former news anchor at WGAL-TV, reporter, and weather anchor. She is endorsed by Governor Josh Shapiro and many others.
Paige Cognetti burst onto the scene in 2019 when Scranton’s then-mayor resigned after pleading guilty to federal charges. Paige ran for mayor as an Independent, taking on the local political establishment and a culture of corruption, in a campaign that became known as “Paige Against the Machine.”
Paige worked to make government serve the people, focusing on improving quality of life and reducing costs. She fought for more homes, more small businesses, more restaurants, and more parks. She streamlined the city’s permitting process, slashed permit fees, and cut red tape. Her efforts resulted in almost a thousand more homes, more than 250 new shops and eateries, and over 10,000 building permits in three years. She focused on local infrastructure, removed blighted structures, held absentee landlords accountable, and replaced thousands of street signs across the city.
Paige’s reason for serving in public office is to bring reform, transparency, and government accountability to NEPA, a place sadly known for public corruption. She’s ready to take that fight to the place that needs it most: a Washington controlled by special interests and self-serving politicians who put the people last.
You’re invited to join the Indivisible Mass Coalition Statewide Call on Tuesday, June 16, from 7 to 8 PM, with a guest speakers Leah Greenberg, Co Founder & Co Executive Director, Indivisible and Nancy Brown of VoProPros discuss all manner of election integrity work needed to win in 2026. RSVPhere!
Twenty-six years ago, I was given the life-changing opportunity to teach at the University of Iowa College of Law, where I have been ever since. It has been the honor of a lifetime to teach Iowa’s sons and daughters about business innovation and economic growth, and about democracy and the rule of law. And it has been a joy to have a family and raise my daughter in a place like Iowa, where family and community are deeply-held values.
That’s why, in 2020, I took on the political establishment and defeated a 20-year incumbent of my own party to serve in the Iowa House of Representatives. There, I fought for our public schools, our farmers and small businesses, clean air and water, and our rights and liberties. I stood up to both parties – and worked with both parties – to get things done for hardworking Iowans.
Now, I am running to do the same in Congress. I am running to put Iowa first.
Josh Turek is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist for Team USA and a State Legislator who represents the reddest seat held by a Democrat in the state of Iowa. Born with spina bifida after his dad was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, Josh overcame 21 surgeries by the age of 12 to eventually represent the U.S. at four Paralympics.
After his basketball career ended with a gold medal in Tokyo in 2021, Josh ran to represent his hometown of Council Bluffs in the legislature. Running in a seat that Donald Trump had already won twice, Josh pushed his chair up hills and crawled up stairs to talk to Iowans of all political stripes, eventually winning by six votes. He was re-elected by a five point margin at the same time Trump was winning the seat by eight points, not only because of his work ethic but because he’s developed a reputation as a common-sense, bipartisan legislator.
Cook Political has rated this race as Likely R. However, Turek has a great reputation in Iowa, and farmers are suffering and angry because of tariffs, high diesel prices and high fertilizer prices.
We are excited to invite you to An Evening for a Safe Massachusetts on Thursday, June 11th from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the UMass Club in Boston, and are honored to announce that Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley will be joining as a Special Guest!
A steadfast champion for gun violence prevention, Congresswoman Pressley has been a leading voice in the fight to build safer communities across Massachusetts and across the country. We are grateful for her partnership and leadership in advancing policies that protect families and save lives.
As we approach the final months before the November election, Massachusetts voters will soon decide whether to uphold the Commonwealth’s commonsense gun safety laws. We hope you will join us at this event benefitting our campaign efforts in strengthening public safety and protecting our communities.
Indivisible and the national No Kings coalition are calling for another day of nationwide resistance action on June 14, the one-year anniversary of the first No Kings protest and the day Trump will stage a UFC fight at the White House to celebrate his 80th birthday. June 14 is also Waltham Pride– an event that is particularly meaningful in the context of an Administration and Republican Party that remain hell-bent on making life as hard as possible for our trans community members as part of a broader campaign of oppression towards queer people and people who identify as or are perceived as women.
Indivisible Waltham will have a table at Pride from noon-4pm and we invite you to stop by our table to connect, fill out some postcards (or pick up a postcard pack to fill out later and share with friends), get some of our newest “I will vote” stickers, and learn about the plans we’ve been starting to cook up for how to support voter turnout efforts heading into the fall elections.
No Kings, Yaas Queens dance-themed standout after Waltham Pride
In consultation with our friends on the Pride organizing team, we’re organizing a standout immediately following Pride from 4:00-5:30pm on the sidewalks of Main and Moody Street, adjacent to but not directly on the Common, as Pride vendors will still be breaking down and cleaning up on the Common. This will be a Pride-themed celebration as protest, a way to be visible together in community and remind those who count on our apathy that we are not going away and not going to cede our power or our ability to exercise our rights even in the face of intimidation tactics aimed at suppressing and discouraging protest locally and nationally (those Flock cameras are not going to keep us away!)
We will take up space, we will be visible, we will be loud, we will dance, and we will continue to build community and people power. We hope you join us and invite your friends too! There is a digital poster at the end of this newsletter that you can feel free to share with your contacts.
How you can help: Bring some extra Prime-themed posters to share!
We will be promoting the standout at our Pride table, and hope that folks who attend Pride who might not otherwise know about our work decide to stay for a bit and join us in the standout. Knowing people are unlikely to bring posters to Pride with them, it would be very helpful if those of you who will be coming directly to the standout could bring extra posters, so folks who join without prior planning have a sign they can use. We’d like the theme to be celebratory, de-centering or minimizing Trump (as he is a wannabe King with waning relevance and power) and lifting up diversity in all its beautiful forms, particularly diversity of gender expression, sexual orientation, and freedom of expression.
Join us for a short convention summary/lecture and group brainstorming. GAIN Board members Mitch Cohen and Stephanie Sullivan and others, who attended the recent Massachusetts Democratic Convention, will review what they learned! The Convention took place May 29 and 30 in Worcester.
