Things you can do now - from Indivisible national

1. Check the NEW No Kings map to find peaceful protests you can join on Saturday, October 18. Another nationwide day of No Kings protests is happening October 18, and we just launched our events map! Don’t see events in your area, yet? More are being added every day, so check again soon -- or plan a No Kings event near you.

2. Sign up for the No Kings mass kickoff call on September 18 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Jump online with Indivisible, our partners, and thousands of activists across the country to discuss the vision, urgency, and strategy behind the national day of action on October 18.

3. Email Congress about Trump’s plan to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) decide which Medicare patients get care. Trump’s piloting a program to let AI review seniors’ medical info and decide what Medicare covers for them -- while giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. We’re calling on all Members of Congress to block it.

4. Have a GOP representative? Call them to help force a vote on the Epstein Files. We only need two more House Republicans to sign a discharge petition that would force a congressional vote on releasing the Epstein Files. If your representative is a Republican, call them about ending the cover-up now.

5. Join “What’s the Plan?” on Thursday as Leah and Ezra answer your questions on No Kings, redistricting, and more. Every Thursday at 3pm ET, our co-founders go live to break down our key initiatives and answer your questions directly! Be part of our interactive chat about what’s next in our fight for democracy.

P.S. The first No Kings Day was one of the biggest, loudest, and most diverse days of mass protest we’ve ever seen, and we want October 18 to be EVEN BIGGER! Grassroots gifts fund all the tools, recruitment, signage, and logistical details -- like sound systems and portapotties -- to make that possible. If you can, chip in today to make the No Kings protests on October 18 massive and historic.

Gear up for an all-out funding fight

Federal government funding runs out at the end of this month -- putting us on the cusp of a huge government shutdown fight in which Democrats have powerful leverage. If Democrats in Congress fight bravely, we can stop or even reverse some of Trump’s devastating healthcare cuts and lawless abuses of power.

But during the last shutdown deadline in March, these Democratic senators broke Democrats’ ranks and surrendered to Trump: Brian Schatz (HI), Dick Durbin (IL), Angus King (ME), Gary Peters (MI), Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), John Fetterman (PA).

We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender,” so we’re calling on Senate Democrats to stay strong and united in this shutdown fight! We’re also making sure Republicans know it’s on them to avoid a costly Trump Shutdown:

• If your senator/state is listed above: Tell them we need courage, not cowardice, and demand that they FIGHT LIKE HELL this time around!

• If you have Democratic senators not listed: Ask if they will publicly call on Chuck Schumer to show some backbone and lead a unified Dem front.

• If you have any Republican senators: Tell them they’ll OWN the government shutdown if they don’t commit to a bipartisan funding process.
