Happy Earth Day to all of our members! We want you to help us get Initiative 1631: Clean Air, Clean Energy on the ballot this November. This initiative will provide investments in a healthier future for everyone, and a clean energy economy that works for everyone. This initiative was developed with a focus on environmental justice, and is the product of a coalition of organized labor, environmental groups, small business, faith communities, and groups representing communities of color.

Tuesdsay, 11:45 am: Resist Trump Tuesday Lunch Meeting:
This week we are doing something a little different in place of our weekly Resist Trump Tuesday Rally. We will still meet at the Federal Bldg. at 11:45AM, then we will go inside and downstairs to the cafeteria to have a sit down facilitated discussion. Sen. Murray and Cantwell’s staff are unable to meet with us this Tuesday so we want to use this time to discuss reshaping our weekly meetings with senate staff. One of the staffers has suggested we consider designating certain topics we want to discuss each week and then take a deeper dive on those topics at the staff meeting. We want to discuss on Tuesday what you think about this idea, hear your ideas and what you most want to get from these staff meetings, and how you want to proceed to make our weekly meetings with senate staff the most productive for us and senate staffers Kate and Tommy.
Please join us this Tuesday and bring your thoughts and ideas.
Seattle Indivisible hosts a weekly Resist Trump Tuesday live rally at the Federal Bldg. with knowledgeable speakers and live music from 11:45AM-12:30PM, followed by a standing weekly meeting with Senators Murray and Cantwell staffers from 12:30-1:30PM. All are welcome to attend.

Tuesday, 7:00 pm: Seattle Indivisible Weekly Meeting:
ALL are invited to join us as neighbors and concerned citizens to fight back against unjust political policies based on exclusion, inequality, hate, lies, and fear.
We oppose the Trump/GOP agenda and we support policies that promote inclusion, fairness, truth, and respect for all.
Our goal is to unite ALL Americans regardless of party affiliation behind principles that transcend party politics. And we are committed to holding ALL elected officials accountable for failing to uphold justice for all.
We are Indivisible.
This meeting venue is wheelchair accessible, and can be reached by King County Metro buses 7, 14, 27, and 106, and the First Hill Streetcar.

We are all volunteers at Seattle Indivisible, but a lot of what supports our basic operations, such as meeting spaces, fliers, and website hosting costs money. Please contribute to keep us going strong:
