Three Days until No Kings! | 10/05/2025

October 15, 2025

This Saturday, over 2,000 protests will take place nationwide. An collectively overwhelming mass of people at No Kings protests is essential for building the power we need to protect our democracy.

If you’re receiving this email, please show up—and bring others with you. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors. Join us on Boston Common or Find a No Kings event here.

Large turnout matters because it sends multiple critical messages:

To MAGA: We will not be silent
To Democratic legislators: We expect you to stand firm and resist capitulation
To fellow protesters: You are not alone—we have the strength to continue
To military personnel: You’ll see your own friends and families among us. We are not the enemy you’re being told we are.

No Kings is part of a broader strategy: undermining the pillars that support the current regime by demonstrating nonviolent, widespread and unified opposition.

Here is a strong and inspiring message from Leah and Ezra, co-founders of Indivisible. Read the entire message

Highlights

Act peacefully, avoid confrontations, don’t let them brand us as terrorists.

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us.

You may have seen reporting from Reuters or heard new rumors circulating in the press that Trump’s administration is preparing to target Indivisible alongside other organizations.

Let’s call this what it is: a baseless attempt to chill free speech and scare people away from exercising their constitutional right to protest an authoritarian regime.

• Indivisible has been committed to nonviolence from the very beginning.

• Peaceful protest is our strength.

• By floating false allegations of violence, Trump’s White House is trying to scare people away from exercising their constitutional rights. We won’t let them succeed.

• Keep organizing. Don’t let this smear distract you.

• Reaffirm our principles. Share Indivisible’s nonviolence commitment

• Stay safe and disciplined.

In the lead up to No Kings, we’re working with our partners on a number of Safety, Security, and De-escalation training. Sign up for an upcoming training HERE or catch up with the ones you’ve missed.

They want us divided. But we are building this movement together, across race, class, and geography, and we know that’s the only way to win.

We’re not backing down. We’ll see you in the streets on October 18.

In solidarity, Ezra & Leah

Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors, Indivisible

Please note: A core principle behind all our 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. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

TIME, BUT NO MONEY?

Important action you can take this week.

Help ground ICE at Hanscom! There is a MassPort public meeting on Thursday, October 16th at 9 am. PUBLIC ACCESS IS REMOTE ONLY For remote access to the meeting, email remoteaccess@massport.com. The Activist Evenings working group has been collaborating with other organizations to recruit people to attend the meeting and make public comment, but it’s also possible to comment via email at this address: WrittenPublicComments@MassPort.com. We are asking that MassPort stop detention flights out of Hanscom Air Field. At the very least, they should 1) prohibit ICE agents from wearing masks at the airfield, 2) conduct their work in an area visible to the public, and 3) ensure that no MassPort employees are assisting ICE efforts.

MONEY, BUT NO TIME?
