Choose Democracy invites everyone to observe a minute of silence each Wednesday at 12:53 AM(local time) in a Minute for US. This was the time when the Capitol was breached on January 6.

Dear MoveOn member,
This weekend, Trump launched military strikes in Iran without congressional authorization.
If Congress doesn’t act immediately, this unauthorized military operation could spiral into a full-scale war. Whether Congress authorizes it or not, most Americans don’t support the U.S. going into yet another costly war.
Congress must act NOW.
At 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT TONIGHT, MoveOn, 50501, and Win Without War are hosting an emergency movement call to break down what’s happening in Iran and the Middle East, what it means, and how we can apply immediate, collective pressure to stop this war.
On this call, you’ll get …
- clear context on what’s unfolding
- the stakes for our communities and the world, and
- a concrete plan for our collective action.
Our primary demand: Congress must pass a bill to rein in Trump NOW.
This is a moment for movement-wide action. Join the call to get context, as well as concrete next steps in the weeks to come.
Thanks for all you do.
–Nakia, Alexis, Sara, Joel, and the rest of the team

Hello Indivisible Red & Rural Caucus,
As February comes to a close, we celebrate Black history and its deep roots in rural communities, from farming and land stewardship to labor organizing, mutual aid, faith leadership, and civic engagement. These often-overlooked stories show how Black people have shaped rural life and democracy for generations and remind us of the power of organized communities, power we will carry into our work together in 2026.
First Red and Rural Caucus Call of 2026
We didn’t get a chance to connect in February, but we’re looking forward to seeing everyone next month!
Our next Red and Rural Caucus call will be a little different. We’re meeting on Saturday, March 7 at 2:00 PM ET, a change from our usual schedule to avoid conflicting with all the No Kings 3 trainings happening during the week.
The session will be facilitated by our Campaigns Director, Gracey, a fresh face to guide our conversation on the plan for 2026, and Tim, our Mobilization Director, who will explore how members can plug into No Kings while building power in red and rural communities.
Register below to receive reminders. We have many exciting plans for 2026 and can’t wait to see you there!
NO KINGS 3
We’re gearing up for the next round of No Kings protests, and we’d love to hear from you. Let us know whether you’re planning to host a No Kings event in your community, and what kind of support you’d need to make it a success. Whether you’re just starting to think about it or already organizing, we’re here to support you.

Republicans are once again pushing for a series of voter suppression bills—all variations of their infamous “SAVE Act”, which would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote.
Congress is negotiating new funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a moment when ICE and CBP are inflicting real harm on communities. This resource breaks down what we’re demanding and how you can take action.
