Cooperstown Oneonta Indivisible is a local chapter of the national Indivisible group. We are a volunteer grassroots group focused on standing up for and improving our democracy. We are especially focused on efforts to dismantle democracy and attack the public services that our taxes pay for and upon which our citizens depend.  We work towards supporting healthy local communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

ICE PROTEST

A big THANK YOU to every one of you who came out to the Cooperstown rally today and to everyone who couldn’t make it but was there in spirit. Our counters put the number at 400. The police told us that was the biggest rally they had ever seen in Cooperstown. Thank you also to all the peacekeepers, speakers – D7 Board Rep Leslie Berliant, former Mayor Mark Drnek, OCDC Chair Caitlin Ogden – and to David Frame, our invaluable sound technician who helped make this rally a success. Finally, thank you to the Village of Cooperstown and Village police for working with us so cooperatively. This is just the beginning of a very important year of resistance. Have courage, stay connected, stay active, and take care of yourselves. Every one of you is needed in this fight for democracy and justice!

ANOTHER FUNDING BILL DEADLINE IS COMING UP!

Make this call everyday that you can! We need the Senate to oppose any bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol and to refuse to vote for any funding bill that doesn’t strengthen restrictions on ICE, end their deployment to our cities, and reject their ever expanding mandate. Once you’ve called the Senate, call the house and demand the same.

Senator Schumer: (202) 228-3027

Senator Gillibrand: 202-224-4451

Congressman Riley: 202-225-5541

While you’re at it, connect ICE’s action to Venezuela and Trump and company’s gleeful dropping of bombs on boats and countries. Ask our Democratic reps what they are doing to hammer their Republican colleagues on Trump completely bypassing Congress to run our military and our country like an emperor.

Hold Republicans accountable, too. Visit this FB link to learn about and take part in WeThePeopleDefend.org‘s “Be the Wedge” campaign. This page has all the links and information you need to call/write to Republicans who are starting to stand up to Trump. We need to be the wedge helping to break apart the lockstep Republican block.

Boycotts work. Spotify and Avelo airlines were both working with ICE. They were the subjects of organized boycotts. Now they are no longer working with ICE. And don’t forget Disney and Jimmy Kimmel. Next up Citizens Bank and their partnership with the private prison industry. Read all about it here.
