RSVP HERE TO ATTEND AND RECEIVE EVENT INFO/UPDATES

We are FED-UP!!!

We hope you all have multiple signs to choose from at this point to give visibility to what is happening now in the United States...with an extra dose of corruption, concession, and surveillance.

We will work together to amplify messaging on Cost of Living, stagnant wages, all the while this administration's priorities are war, BBB (Bigger, Brighter, Ballroom), and more money in power to the billionaire, Epstein class.

We call, send emails, AND we show up in person to rally and visit Congressional Offices of Sen. Ernst, Sen. Grassley & Rep. Nunn. EVERY FRIDAY!

We hope you can join us.

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.

Note from Congresswoman Sharice Davids, Kansas House District-03: “I’m proud to support Sarah Trone Garriott’s campaign in Iowa’s 3rd district because we need more champions for working families like her in Congress. Here’s the deal: we need more hard workers who put their constituents first in Congress. I know how to flip tough seats, hold them, and serve my community, and Sarah has got what it takes to win. And with a Democratic Congress, here’s what we can do: 

• We will bring down costs and build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the very top.

• We will protect our rights and make sure everyone has access to affordable healthcare.

• We will clean up our government by banning Congressional stock trading and reining in Washington corruption.”
