WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE! EVERY DAY THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO…
Protecting Our Immigrant Families and Neighbors
Locally, Mendocino’s Rapid Response Network is now live. In addition to responding to ICE alerts in the area, volunteers have been trained to do Workplace Preparation and are beginning to canvas local businesses to teach employers how to protect their workplaces and employees if ICE shows up. Red Cards are available in various languages as well as Yellow Cards with the RRN information.
Indivisible Ukiah is participating in canvasing local businesses and also has attractive small signs you can post in your own window to let your neighbors know you support them. Email us at info@inukiah.com if you want a sign!
We found an excellent article with ideas on community response to ICE here. It will ask if you want to subscribe but you can select not to and still access the article. Highly recommended.

SHOP YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR AT LEAST A FEW DAYS - MORE IF YOU CAN!
Donald Trump is wildly grasping for power that doesn’t belong to him -- and greedy corporations seem more than happy to give it up. They’re donating millions to curry Trump's favor, standing aside as his regime attacks workers and shoppers, and meekly caving to even the weakest, most dubious threats.
Our cowardly corporate leaders need a reminder that real power belongs to the people. And next week, during the biggest shopping weekend of the year, we’re sending them a message.
From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re asking you not to shop from three major corporations enabling Trump’s fascist agenda.
Our Targets
HOME DEPOT enables ICE terrorism by allowing Trump’s jackboots to violently detain and kidnap workers on its properties.
TARGET caved to MAGA backlash by pulling Pride merch off the shelves, and canceled DEI programs that support Black workers and businesses.
AMAZON provides technology to power ICE deportations while Jeff Bezos spends a fortune kissing up to Trump -- funding both his MAGA agenda and vanity projects like his ballroom.
These aren’t the only companies complicit in Trump's attacks on democracy -- far from it! -- but economic pressure is most effective when it’s concentrated and easy to join in on. We’re focusing our fire on three ubiquitous brands that are among the biggest corporations trying to profit by enabling Trump.
Community Meal!
Feeding people can mean donating money or food… it can also be coming together as a community.
Sunday November 16, from 12 Noon to 1 PM at the northwest area of Todd Grove Park free prepared food will be distributed, to eat there or take away.
If you wish to bring food to share email info@inukiah.com to coordinate! If you need food, please try to bring a container to put it in.
Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify
Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE.
Let that sink in. A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force. They're choosing complicity over the artists, podcasters, and fans who make Spotify what it is - and when users and musicians called them out, Spotify's first act was doubling down.
But we're not going to idly accept that. We're going to make them listen, just as people-power made ABC-Disney listen and reinstate Jimmy Kimmel.
We're asking anyone who subscribes to Spotify Premium to cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. If you don’t there are other ways to support this movement.
HERE’S HOW TO CANCEL YOUR SPOTIFIY PREMIUM OR TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT.
