Take Action
Postcard Writing Campaign
Starting June 1, Indivisible Guilford County will be partnering with Postcards to Swing States (Progressive Turnout Project), to write GOTV postcards to North Carolina voters. These postcards will have a mailing date in October but we write them throughout the summer as there are so many voters we need to reach . Sign up here.
You will be notified about packet pickup after June 1. If you have any questions about postcard writing, please email Jennifer (IndivisibleGCoPostcards@gmail.com).
Save Public Education
We are partnering with Public School Strong and Down Home NC to help get the word out about the #BigUglyBill and its implications for education in our state.
There are an alarming number of people who don't know what the passing of HB-1 (the "Big Beautiful Bill") will mean for public schools across the country. The drastic funding cuts in the bill will have serious consequences for North Carolina as well.
Here's a brief snapshot:
overcrowded classrooms and poor learning outcomes due to growing teacher shortages
crumbling school buildings and failing infrastructure in schools across the state
staff shortages of bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and other support staff like nurses, social workers, and librarians
It can all be overwhelming and demoralizing, but we can not give up. Our children are depending on us! Here are some things that we can do:
Help spread the word about the funding cuts so parents and public school supporters won't be totally blindsided.
Invite people to get involved, no matter what their political affiliation is. If they care about public schools, we need them to join us.
Connect with other public school advocates so we can leverage our collective power and work together to fight the assaults on our schools.
Here's how you can take action now with Public School Strong and Down Home NC:
Join the monthly Public School Strong Organizing Meeting where parents, family members, educators, and supporters from across the nation gather each month to gain practical tools to promote, protect, and strengthen our public schools. Register Here

Oppose Senate Passage of the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act
The SAVE Act is rearing its ugly head once again, this time in a new form. The MEGA Act will institute even MORE control over elections, which are supposed to be entirely decentralized and run by the states. Read more here from 5Calls. Democracy Docket notes that the Act is likely going to come up for a vote in the Senate, although there are not enough Democrats to overcome a filibuster. Make the call today to make sure that this federal overreach of a bill does not see the light of day!
Email/Phone Script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose the Make Elections Great Again Act. This bill usurps states' constitutional authority to administer elections and imposes needless and expensive voting restrictions, potentially disenfranchising millions in the name of fighting almost nonexistent election fraud.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Tell Congress - No War With Iran!
Indivisible Guilford County is asking everyone to tell Congressional members, “No War with Iran”, using This Indivisible Script Just click the link to complete the form and send your message.
Indivisible Guilford County stands behind the following statement, which was issued by Indivisible National concerning the unlawful strike on Iran:
“Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.
The Iranian people are already suffering under a repressive regime that jails and murders dissidents. These airstrikes will not deliver freedom. They will only put innocent families in the crossfire so Trump can pretend to be a wartime king on TV. We saw this happen last June when Trump and Netanyahu launched military strikes on Iran. It did nothing to curb the regime’s brutality. It only fueled further crackdowns on the Iranian people and put U.S. service members at greater risk.
A wider conflict risks retaliation against Americans, allies, and innocent Iranians, and drags America into another open-ended war without the consent of Congress or the American people.
The Constitution is clear. The power to declare war belongs to Congress. Trump does not get to start a war by decree. Congress must act immediately to block this unauthorized escalation. No endless wars.”

ICE Out For Good
Background: This recent vote to decouple DHS funding from the rest of the government funding buys time, not solutions. The fight is now squarely on DHS and Republicans are on their back foot. Democrats have less than two weeks to press their advantage — they must hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, real accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Anything less would be a failure to meet this moment. The public has done its part, and now Congress must do theirs.
Script:
Dear Senator/Representative _______,
As your constituent, I urge you to support a DHS appropriations bill that stops the violence by ICE and Border Patrol and protects our communities. The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by federal immigration agents are unacceptable and demand accountability. The current lack of oversight has put everyday people at risk.
I ask you to support legislation that:
Cuts all funding for ICE and CBP
Ends ICE and Border Patrol operations in our communities
Bars enforcement at sensitive locations (e.g., places of worship, schools, hospitals)
Prohibits targeting based on race, language, accent, employment, or location
Ends warrantless home entries and arrests
Every member of Congress must insist on real limits and accountability before approving any funding.
Thank you for your attention and leadership.

Spread the Word and Beat the Algorithms!
We are working with multiple partners on a new initiative to spread the word on various topics and beat the algorithm!
The idea is that one topic will be shared on one day each week and then re-shared throughout the week to beat out the algorithms of the socials. Rather than relying on scattered, short-lived outrage, the goal is to work together to create sustained, intentional campaigns that keep important issues in the spotlight and hold powerful organizations and decision-makers accountable through lawful pressure, public awareness, and collective action such as boycotts.
By shaping our own viral moments and setting the rhythm of the conversation, we can break through the usual news cycle and make sure critical stories don’t fade away. Follow this page, join the conversation, and help spread the word so we can grow this community and amplify our impact together.
Call To Action - Stop Presumptive Noncitizens Labels
Oppose Policies That Threaten the Right to Vote
North Carolina election officials are considering rules that would label voters as “presumptive noncitizens” and potentially remove them from the rolls, despite no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting in the state’s elections. This approach risks wrongly challenging and disenfranchising eligible citizens, especially if unreliable federal data systems are used to flag voters. We must make our voices heard during the public comment period, which runs now through March 16, to oppose policies that threaten the fundamental right to vote.
Democracy depends on inclusive participation — stand up today to defend voting rights and ensure that errors or politics don’t silence lawful voters. Read more at Democracy Docket.
