TAKE ACTION NOW
Tell your representatives NO to Trump's illegal war in Venezuela!
​
The Trump administration is dragging us into war with Venezuela. On the night of January 2, they launched an attack that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Maduro.
​
Now Trump has declared that the US will “run” Venezuela and control oil production until a transition of power can take place. He is disregarding national sovereignty and forcing a regime-change all without authorization from Congress and without citing evidence of a legitimate threat to the United States.
​
And it’s all in service of his own authoritarian ambitions. If he’s not stopped, Trump will continue this power grab, escalating violence in the region and putting US service members and civilians in danger unnecessarily.
​
We need Congress to check this regime’s lawless violence, or there’s no telling where this will end. The Constitution states clearly that war powers belong to Congress—not the White House.
Every Member of Congress must do everything in their power to stand up to Trump and prevent war with Venezuela.
✊ TAKE ACTION NOW
Call your Representative and Senators TODAY and demand they:
​
-
Condemn this illegal act of war
-
Reassert Congress's sole authority to declare war
-
Block further military escalation
Silence is complicity. Democracy requires resistance.

The Paperclip Resistance
The Paperclip Resistance Movement is a revival of the past legacy of the brave Norwegian people who never gave up. We can draw on their strength and courage once again, to openly demonstrate our own courage and resolve and be identified as someone who NEVER GIVES UP, by simply wearing a paperclip. Our hope is that no matter one’s income, everyone can join the cause with a symbol everyone can afford and is readily available. A symbol we can rally around, that has already been identified as an image for the preservation of democracy. For a second time in recent history, this has now become a grassroots movement, for the people and by the people.
We Ain’t Buying It: What we learned
From Indivisible Guide:
Over Thanksgiving weekend, tens of thousands of people across the country came together to say “We Ain’t Buying It!” to companies that have capitulated to Trump.
​
From Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, they participated in a shopping pause at Target, Home Depot, and Amazon, in protest of those retailers completely caving to the Trump administration and going along with their harmful, authoritarian policies.
​
-
Target rolled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies
-
Home Depot has done nothing to protect immigrants in their stores as ICE continues to conduct violent raids on their property.
-
Amazon has funded the Trump administration through donations and significantly discounted government contracts (including for ICE), all in exchange for massive corporate tax breaks.
