Washington, D.C. — Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement in response to Trump’s new Presidential Memorandum targeting left-leaning organizations:
“Targeting peaceful political dissidents isn’t patriotic, it’s frankly un-American. Trump’s memo is nothing more than a blueprint for intimidation, laying the groundwork to surveil, harass, and dismantle lawful movements for justice and democracy.
“He is exploiting tragedy to consolidate power, demonize dissent, and erode the First Amendment. He wants us to believe he’s powerful and strong. In reality, he knows his agenda grows more unpopular by the day, while our movement is surging. We aren’t intimidated by his threats, and will not be silent while our democracy hangs in the balance.
“No Kings on October 18th is set to be the biggest demonstration of First Amendment rights in modern American history. Our power comes from people organizing peacefully to demand accountability and justice. Indivisible was founded to resist exactly these kinds of abuses of power by this wannabe king. We will keep mobilizing, speaking out, and showing up with courage every day. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Not in America.”
