You can check out a couple live streams on our and Roanoke Indivisible’s IG pages! We didn’t announce that we’d be doing that in advance though, so we should try to do that next time. Zoom may be a possibility in the future too! Thanks for bringing this up!
Thank you for standing up yesterday Roanoke! We hope you spent the rest of your weekend with your people. Laughing. Taking care of one another so we can show for each other again and again. Stay strong!

(over an image of a chalkboard with chalk and an eraser) SAFE SCHOOLS FOR EVERY STUDENT A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR ACTION
The Safe Schools for Every Student campaign gives you the tools to demand local school boards adopt policies that keep schools safe for all students, no matter their immigration status: indivisi.org/safe-schools
Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.
We continue to ask...Where's Ben Cline??

🚨 The SAVE Act could take away millions of people's right to vote! If you haven't heard about it, this is a great explanation. We have to raise the alarm on this and be ready to tell our Senators and Representatives to vote NO! Spread the word! social.redwine.blue/s/ahHaSZBU
Consider @roanokeindivisible.bsky.social re-ignited! Their Kick-Off today at Appalachian Arts Hub was full of energy & amazing people ready to take action. We loved meeting some of our Discord members IRL!
And shoutout to our littlest RAPscallion, Leila, for helping sling flyers 😎 Start ‘em young!
That overwhelm you feel? It’s by design and you’re not alone, but this quote from one of our community members is a reminder that change happens when people come together.
Every action matters. Let’s keep working toward a better, just future. ✊ DM us for a Discord link to join the conversation.
