Good Trouble on the Quirk & I-94 Bridge!
Thursday 8/6/25, 4:30-6pm
Come together on the I-94 pedestrian bridge, just west of Belleville Road, at Quirk Road and the I-94 north and south service drives, to stand in solidarity as a community. Bring flags, large-print banners, or signs to make our message loud and clear. This is a fun and casual gathering—we’ll play music, wave to passing cars, and connect with fellow activists while raising our voices against injustice, corruption, and failure. Don't forget your water bottle!
We will reach out to registrants with parking information. This event is weather-dependent and will not take place in the rain. If conditions are unfavorable, we will reschedule or cancel as needed.
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.
One Million Rising
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just single days of mass action, but sustained organizing in our communities.
That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.
Decline to Sign
Signature gatherers will start to appear in our communities but this proposal is a Trojan Horse seeking to undo what voters overwhelmingly approved by Prop 2 in 2023. Voters Not Politicians and Indivisible ask you to “Decline to Sign”
Visible Resistance Cards
Visible, peaceful reminders placed in public spaces to highlight important issues and offer reassurance that no one is alone. A collective effort to support all individuals as they navigate current political realities and to inspire action.
