📣 See Eastside and Seattle Protests 2025 for up-to-date opportunities.

📣 See Ways to Help our Immigrant Neighbors for up-to-date opportunities.

🔷 Thank you to our veterans! Veterans Day is tomorrow, and there are a few actions (open to veterans and others):

Indivisible Eastside is participating in “No Oaths to Trump” overpass actions on Veterans Day, Nov 11. Join us at 4 pm in Bellevue or Kirkland, or join another area option on the No Oaths to Trump Mobilize page.
Seattle Indivisible’s United Veteran-Civilian Response team is working to develop and prepare for street-level action before a possible National Guard occupation in Seattle occurs. UVCR is working with Veterans for Peace, and also needs non-veteran civilians to have veterans’ backs with reliable, steady street-level support skills and resources. See the UVCR Linktree to get involved.
Let active service members in your life know about Win Without War’s billboard campaign. Not What You Signed Up For provides information to support service members illegally deployed to American cities. You can donate toward digital billboards that reach National Guard and other members in those cities.

🔷 We are giddy about election night results! Thanks to your bannering, protesting, canvassing, postcarding, and posting, progressives won the vote in contests throughout the U.S., some surprisingly. Big wins included progressives for governor in Virginia and New Jersey, New York City mayor, seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, AND California’s redistricting Prop 50 passed. And there were many other wins down ballots and in MAGA areas, pointing to a rejection of Trump administration policies and harms, including in Woodinville. This is a moment of celebration while the work continues! To check city, county, and school board race results that are still being tabulated, visit this elections hub, which is sorted by the gap in results and updates in real time.

🔷 The Eastside community is seeing more DHS/ICE activity, and we need to prepare on how to push back and protect our neighbors. One way to get involved is to connect with the Washington Indivisible Network Unmask ICE Workgroup and become a liaison. This workgroup focuses on passing legislation to ensure ICE agents are identifiable and not masked. Liaisons attend the meetings and inform us of actions that members of Indivisible Eastside can take. They meet every third Wednesday of the month via Zoom, and the next meeting is Nov 19 at 4:30 pm. Email hello@indivisibleeastside.com to volunteer, and you will receive a link to attend the meetings. See Ways to Help our Immigrant Neighbors for other ways to get involved and for information on Bystander training and Rapid Response on the Eastside.

Here are your 2 Actions and Bright Spots.

✊ Action 1 – Urge Governor Ferguson to create an Accountability Commission in Washington state

Military-style immigration operations are terrorizing the Chicago area with violent, SWAT-style raids and indiscriminate use of tear gas and pepper balls, even refusing to pause operations around children for Halloween. Recently, JB Pritzker signed an executive order to create the Illinois Accountability Commission, charged with building a public record of misconduct and recommending remediations. The Trump administration has signaled that aggressive federal operations will spread to more cities, potentially including Seattle.

Contact Governor Ferguson’s office to urge the Governor to establish a similar Accountability Commission in Washington and to apply learnings from Illinois as they become available. Thank the Governor for his executive orders protecting immigrants in January and September, and ask that he take this next step to provide safety and justice for all Washington residents.

🔷 Governor Bob Ferguson: 360-902-4111 | EMAIL

☎ Sample Script:

My name is [NAME], I live in [CITY], and I’m a voter. Thank you for your executive orders protecting immigrants; they are crucial measures in protecting Washington residents. We now ask that you take the next step and establish an Accountability Commission similar to that of Governor JB Pritzker’s in Illinois. Creating such a commission now to build a public record of misconduct and to recommend protection measures is an important step to take. It will help us resist federal overreach and harmful actions when the Trump administration sends federal troops to Washington state, as they are threatening to do.

Thank you.

✊ Action 2 – Cancel Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription until they denounce ICE-promoting imagery on X

From our friends at Seattle Indivisible

The Trump administration is using AI-generated images based on Microsoft’s Halo video game series to promote ICE and to depict the president as a heroic figure. Halo is a major Microsoft property, and the Redmond company has not yet made a statement or denunciation of this usage. Some of the original creators of the series called the image abhorrent, and other creatives and artists whose work was co-opted for this type of propaganda have requested that it be taken down as copyright violations.

As a subscription service, it is easy for subscribers to cancel immediately, and easy for Microsoft to see the scale of the impact immediately, just as Disney+ saw mass cancellations of subscriptions that prompted them to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel.

Please cancel your Game Pass subscription, and to make the point, include this script to answer any questions about your cancellation:

☎ Sample Script:

I am cancelling my Game Pass subscription because you, Microsoft, did not object when the official White House X account shared AI-generated imagery drawn from the Halo video game series. This imagery promotes Immigration & Customs Enforcement and their strong-arm tactics. I want Microsoft to a) investigate whether this use violates its own community standards regarding hate and violence, b) promise legal action over this use of your IP as you would for any violation, and c) publish a strongly worded statement condemning the messaging of the ICE post. Don’t let X – or any other entity – “borrow” images from your games to promote the ICE agenda.

⛅ Bright Spots

Nov 4’s election results, naturally! Chop Wood Carry Water has a good round-up as of Nov 5. We await good news about multiple local races as official results are released.
The NFL Players’ Association released a statement standing in solidarity with the Women’s National Basketball Players’ Association in their collective bargaining efforts.
Recent polls show that Americans continue to place blame on Republicans for the government shutdown and approve of Democrats holding the line in order to restore health care subsidies. A growing number of independents place blame on Trump and Republicans.
Multiple judges have demanded that during the shutdown the Trump administration must fund SNAP benefits, either fully or partially, although the rulings have bounced around. It is clear, however, that judges such as U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. are becoming more and more willing to insist that the Federal government follow the law.
