Stand Up For Democracy
The Stand Up For Democracy neighborhood pop-up protests are a familiar and inspiring presence across New Orleans. What began quietly, with two groups separately demonstrating on Carrollton and on Napoleon, grew into a city-wide movement. One neighborhood sparked another, and soon the protests spread organically across town. These pop-ups exist to fill the space between large, scheduled demonstrations. They keep the fire alive when headlines fade. By showing up again and again, the protestors remind their communities that no one is alone in caring about democracy.
What’s the Plan?
The chaos out of the White House is meant to overwhelm us. Our antidote is community. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin every Thursday at 2pm to break down the week’s biggest political stories, answer your questions, and map out strategies for taking action.
This is people-powered politics in real time. Questions can be submitted via the Q&A function during the live event.
Real talk. Real people. Real action. That’s the plan.

ICE OUT For Good Phone Bank
Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people.
But right now, we have an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level. ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded only through January 30. The new funding bill that’s currently being written is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn’t get a single penny more to enable its brutality.
Join us on Wednesday, January 21st, at 1 p.m. EST to call voters in key states and encourage them to call their senators to demand that they rein in ICE’s terror tactics.
