## ✊ WHY WE RALLY
This is a weekly, sustained protest against the accelerating rise of authoritarian rule, state violence, endless wars, and systemic corruption under the Trump administration.
We are rallying to confront:
– The construction of an authoritarian state that uses fear, surveillance, and force to silence dissent
– The mass targeting, criminalization, and disappearance of immigrants and vulnerable citizens carried out by the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
– The normalization of corruption, abuse of power, and rule-by-decree governance
– The genocide that continues to this day in Gaza and the West Bank under the ongoing military campaign by Israel against the Palestinian people, aided by the United States
– The endless and illegal war in Iran, perpetrated by the United States and Israel.
This rally is about one core truth:
– Human rights do not depend on citizenship.
– Human dignity does not stop at borders.
– Democracy cannot survive corruption and terror.
⸻
## 🎯 WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING
We are calling for:
– An end to ICE and DHS being used as political weapons to terrorize our immigrant communities
– The abolition of ICE activity in Douglas County, Oregon, and all of the United States
– Full protection of due process, asylum rights, and constitutional liberties for all people within our borders
– An end to authoritarian governance, political repression, and state intimidation
– An immediate end to U.S. complicity in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people
– Real accountability for corruption, war crimes, and abuse of power—at every level
– An end to illegal and endless war
⸻
## 👥 WHO THIS RALLY IS FOR
– Immigrants, refugees, and their allies
– The Palestinian people and supporters of Palestinian liberation
– Veterans, faith leaders, workers, students, parents, and elders
– Whistleblowers, organizers, human rights defenders
– Anyone who refuses to live under authoritarian rule or corruption by the Trump administration
– Anyone against authoritarianism, fascism, and the abuse of power
– Anyone against endless wars
– You do not have to be an activist.
– You just have to care about human lives and democratic freedom.

## 🕊 SAFETY, DISCIPLINE & NONVIOLENCE
This is a peaceful, nonviolent protest, and that means:
– Everyone is responsible for their own de-escalation, as a safety team may not be available for every protest
– Do not take the bait of those who wish to antagonize us or our movement, disengage or remove yourself from conflict
– No physical engagement with counter-protesters
– No weapons of any kind
⸻
## 🪧 WHAT TO BRING
– Signs, banners, flags
– Justice-centered, anti-authoritarian, pro-human-rights messages
– Weather-appropriate clothing
– Water, sunscreen, medication
*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.*
