Washington, DC — Today, Indivisible co-executive director Ezra Levin released the following statement:
“Trump’s 'day one' agenda is a blueprint for chaos, cruelty, and corruption—ending birthright citizenship, banning federal funding for programs supporting transgender people, and so much more. This isn’t governance. It’s a declaration of war on our values and our communities.
“Fascists thrive on fear and submission. They want us to believe we’re powerless, that their victory is inevitable. But let’s be crystal clear: we will not give them the power they crave by treating their illegal and unconstitutional moves as a done deal.
“While some battles will be fought in the courts, many must be waged in the halls of Congress and the public square. This is the moment for the people to demand their lawmakers fight—not fold. Right now, we must focus on where we can delay, defang, and dismantle the most dangerous pieces of this corrupt, chaotic, and cruel agenda.
“This week, that means forcing every Democrat in Congress to make a choice on MAGA’s Dreamer Deportation Act (H.R. 29/S. 5): Will they stand up and fight for our democracy, or will they let MAGA Republicans dictate the terms? Democrats can’t afford to cower behind half-measures or excuses. If they don’t have the guts to fight this now, when it’s all on the line, they’ll be handing Trump and MAGA Republicans exactly what they want: a propaganda victory that will embolden their assault on our freedoms.
“No one has to agree on the perfect solution to immigration to recognize this bill for what it is: a cruel, unworkable, and blatantly unconstitutional power grab. This is a fight for the very soul of America. And we won’t let them win.”
