Ezra Levin - Who is he you ask?
Ezra is the leader of No Kings, our rallying cry, Ezra is the leader of Indivisible.
Remember Tuesday's elections? The places where Democrats stomped Magats at the polls are the same places that held No Kings Rallies.
Hey Folks, you can join Indivisible, there are local chapters. Hey folks, you can donate money to Indivisible.
The American people are ahead of Democratic politicians, we are ready to fight and we will vote for Democrats who are with us.
No more BS of moderate v progressive, we want fighters, period.

(3,982 posts)We have spoken! On Tuesday night our votes were our voice.
We have stood up at protests! And we do so so daily...everywhere.
This is too big of a job for one or a few heroes. We need a coalition of millions of heroes.

(21,479 posts)He is the leader of an organization that provides resources for The People to be the change they wish to see, at whatever level works for them, large or small.
So, yes, he is a leader, but he is not The One, not The Saviour that some are depending upon to rescue us.

(12,020 posts)ALSO, find out who your Democratic precinct captain is and ask them how you can help Dems in your precinct. THAT is the grassroots.
Its ALL HANDS ON DECK to defeat SHitler and his fascist cult.

(30,625 posts)No Kings is already way bigger than the Tea Party and the Tea Party did influence the election.
Let's get behind Indivisible, No Kings, baby.

(22,371 posts)I echo most Indivisible emails there, though in recent days, to GD for higher visibility, and it shows in the rec's. I like the "findability" there.
Indivisible and mobilize.us have helped energize the nation.

(88,492 posts)Youll find yourself surrounded by others of like mind and the same kind of anti-Trump determination you feel. And theres a sense of comradeship youll sense. Everybodys there for the same reason youre there. You all oppose Trump.
You might even make a new friend or two, especially if you start noticing the same folks at several rallies in a row. And if nothing else, youll see proof that youre not alone in how you feel.

(10,829 posts)Indivisible is emphatic that we need to be in community to deal effectively with fascism and wannabe kings.
calimary
(88,492 posts)It means we're DOING something. We're DOING something about the abysmal state of things, and it keeps us too busy to stop and get bummed out about where we are, at present. It helps to focus on what you're working on - for where we're GONNA BE, and sooner than later.
