What an absolutely fabulous turnout we had at our very first event - It far exceeded our expectations! We had a little over two dozen participants show up to help us bring awareness regarding the possible Medicaid and Medicare cuts that would affect our local rural hospital, University of Michigan Health-Sparrow in Carson City, Michigan this past Friday, June 20th. We partnered with Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisible group to organize this event.

The lady pictured above in the golf cart is local resident Agnes McKenna who turned 100 years old this last March. She stayed for almost the entire 2 hours of the Rally!

And here's a video of the Rally. Erin, with the Saugatuck Douglas Indivisible shot the video!

About this event

The 2025 tax policy debate has started and what happens in Washington will play out here in Michigan at our rural hospital level.

Congressional Republicans’ top policy priority is extending and expanding President Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. To do so, they’ll need to either run up trillions in additional debt, or enact deep and harmful cuts to vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP. They’re likely to do both.

Your voice matters! Let’s send a clear message: Our rural hospitals are vital to many Michigan areas and we will not stand by and let the Republican agenda destroy our local healthcare.

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.

About this event

Every Friday at Noon, the Ottawa County Dems have been out front, standing strong outside Rep. Bill Huizenga’s office. But one thing is clear—we need to turn up the pressure. We need YOU.

Huizenga voted for the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”—a cruel piece of legislation that would rip healthcare from millions, take food from the mouths of children, and give massive tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. We cannot let this stand.

📢 This is your moment. Join us EVERY FRIDAY at NOON. Bring your signs, your voice, your friends.

📞 Call him daily. ✉️ Flood his office with letters. 💬 Demand a meeting. Let him feel the fire of a community that refuses to be ignored.

This is not politics as usual—this is a fight for dignity, justice, and the future of our country.

All actions are rooted in nonviolence. We show up with courage, and we de-escalate, even when met with opposition. Stand firm, stand proud, and stand together.

About this event

What does Pride mean to you? What do you think it means and looks like for your small or rural community? Now take what you said, and think about it from a different angle. What does community mean to you today, and how do we build a strong community that is able to stand up in the face of the encroaching march of fascism on our nation? Right now, our communities are more divided than ever before, and Pride is one of the last bastions of all positive visibility for people who identify as LGBTQIA+.

We have seen incredible actions taking place around our nation in the past weeks as people come out en masse to say NO to Trump and Musk and their attempted coup on our democracy. But these actions are only one part of a good defense. Join the Indivisible Red and Rural Caucus for our May call where we will talk about taking hold of the energy and the mass mobilizations happening across the country, and turning that energy into positive changes for our communities and as a tool to help defend Pride and the LGBTQIA+ Community.

As we approach June and Pride Month, It is an important time to reflect on what it means to build communities where LGBTQIA+ can not only exist but thrive.In the face of renewed national-level attack, from executive orders targeting trans people to state-level rollbacks on healthcare, education, and military service, the stakes are especially high in red and rural areas. These are often the places where LGBTQIA+ individuals have the fewest resources, the least institutional support, and the most to lose. And yet, rural communities are also places of deep resilience. This Pride Month, we’re focusing on how rural organizers and neighbors can push back against exclusion and create spaces of belonging, care, and safety—no matter what’s happening in Washington.

Together we will have a conversation where we redefine what it means to be in community in a post Trump world, and how even in Red and Rural America, our communities are stronger when they band together and defend one another as neighbors, as friends, and as Americans.

Join us on May 28th for a Pride and Community Themed Red and Rural Caucus Call, and learn how you can be the best Ally all year round, not just during Pride!

Saugatuck-Douglas Area Indivisible will host Attorney General Dana Nessel at the Ivy House on June 16th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. AG Nessel will speak to the community about how our legal system, and specifically her office, is holding the current administration of the United States accountable to the voters and the Constitution.

“What we have seen from Donald Trump and his administration is a total disregard for the separations of power and the rule of law,” Nessel said. “The legal profession cannot be complicit in this attack on our democracy.”

North Carolina Phone Bank to Oppose the Trump Tax Scam

On May 15, at 11:00 am ET, join Indivisible for a phonebank where we’ll be calling voters across North Carolina and connecting them directly to Senator Thom Tillis' office. Together, we’ll urge him to oppose the Trump Tax Scam -- a reckless GOP tax plan that prioritizes billionaires like Elon Musk while selling out working families.

Republicans in Congress are trying to ram this through using budget reconciliation, bypassing bipartisan support to give trillions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. They know this plan is unpopular, which is why they have to take an alternative route to pass their tax scam. Their plan? Slash Medicaid, SNAP, and early education programs -- all so billionaires can hoard more wealth while everyday Americans pay more.

Making Calls is Now Easier!👀

We’ll be using Scale to Win, our easy-to-use calling tool, to make sure North Carolinians can speak out and be heard. There will be a training at the beginning of the call so that you understand how to use the phonebanking software and you'll be coached on how to have conversations with NC constituents.

Why Join Us?

  • Only ask constituents one question: Will you call Senator Thom Tillis and tell him to vote “no” on Trump’s Tax Scam?
  • We’re calling NC constituents only! They will be the ones to make the calls to Tillis!
  • Help us reach out to 38,000 voters to apply pressure and hold Senator Tillis accountable!

Ready to Go Pro and Skip the Line?

Are you already a phonebanking expert, or would you like to become one? We'd LOVE to have you join our Pro Phonebank Trainer team! After you exit the phonebank, there will be a survey form with an exclusive opportunity to sign up to be trained as a Pro Phonebank Trainer!


Let’s stand up for economic justice. Let’s stop this scam in its tracks. RSVP now and make your voice heard!

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. 

The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back. 

Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as we carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan. 

Join up, get to work, and let's go win this thing together: https://linktr.ee/indivisibleteam

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are staging an administrative coup, trying to illegally eliminate agencies, seize control of the U.S. government's payment systems, and gain access to sensitive data on all Americans without any oversight. It's time to fight back like our democracy depends on it.

Demand Democrats fight back and hold Republicans accountable for the Trump-Musk power grab.
