Stand with Indivisible Tacoma

We have to turn up the heat on the administration and everyone who enables the games they’re playing with our lives. In these times, that means things like providing video conferencing software so our teams can organize across social distance, printing and our website costs.

Though we continue to operate with 100% volunteer staff, we do not have monthly income right now from our general meetings while routine expenses continue.

In uncertain times, Indivisible Tacoma is still here, and we’re still doing the hard work of building grassroots power in our community to defeat Trump’s agenda. 

Every month, every week, and every day we stand together to push for progress.

For the second year, Indivisible National is offering local chapters up to a $500 match for our fundraising efforts. Last year we rose to the occasion and reached our goal of $500 netting us a total of $1021! Lets do it again! 

We know there are many competing needs in our community but hope you’ll consider even a small one-time or monthly recurring gift (your first payment will be doubled!).

Will you stand with us, and start giving monthly today? Your monthly donation will be matched between April 6th and May 31st!

Now is the time to support Indivisible Tacoma as we build our power and gear up for the year. Please consider making a contribution today HERE.

We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together with your support!

With Gratitude,
Indivisible Tacoma Steering Team

Shut Down the NWDC!

Shut Down the NWDC!

  • Wednesday 4/1: #DefundHate: Reject COVID-19 ICE and CBP Funding! 
  • Thursday 4/2: La policia, la migra, la misma porqueria
  • Friday 4/3: Care not Cages: Public Health Department Accountability Day 
  • Saturday 4/4: #FreeThemAll Solidarity Day Webinar: https://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org

Find Detention Watch Network on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Over 3,000 doctors and nearly 800 advocates have been sounding the alarm for weeks that people in immigration detention are sitting ducks in a system notorious for its fatally flawed medical care and abysmal conditions that only worsen in times of crisis. People detained inside are refusing food to show the urgency. The government can and should release all people from detention immediately.

Phone calls you can make TODAY to demand a stop to new transfers to NWDC, to prevent new apprehensions by ICE, to release all detained people (starting with pregnant people, people over age 60, and people who are immunocompromised), and to shutdown NWDC – Senators, Representatives, State and local officials!
Amplify each day’s call to action from your own social media platforms and use #FreeThemAll.
