✊ WHY WE RALLY
This is a weekly, sustained protest against the accelerating rise of authoritarian rule, state violence, 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
- 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 wars
👥 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.
