For the week of September 28, 2026

🎙️Sep 28, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

🔷 Thank you to the volunteers who stepped up to help with the Porchlight Men’s Shelter fundraiser last week, whether it was with setup the day before or helping on the day of the event. Your efforts were very much appreciated and contributed to a successful and meaningful event.

🔷 The city of Bellevue is designing a new park in the BelRed neighborhood and are considering having a road go right through it! Please tell the parks board that cars on roads have no place in a small park. Take this survey or email ParkBoard@bellevuewa.gov. It would be great to have a bike/pedestrian lane connecting the two light rail stations along Spring Blvd, however!

🔷 We have four fun in-person GOTV events coming in October.

Have you heard about No Kings Vote Early, a nationwide Day of Action coming October 17th? Indivisible Eastside will be showing up in highly visible street corners near 11 ballot box locations around the Eastside, Oct 17, 11 am – 1 pm to urge people to be an Early Voter! See details HERE. We have plenty of people signed up at Bothell and Downtown Kirkland, but would love more people to help make a splash at the other locations. Grab a friend, make a sign, help get out the Early Vote!
In preparation for Oct 17, we’re hosting Help Make Signs for No Kings Vote Early GOTV kits – Thurs Oct 1, 1:30 – 5 pm at the Redmond Library. All supplies provided – you’ll be helping replicate prototype signs so we can have four at each of the 11 locations.
Join the IE Steering committee Wed Oct 21, 4-6 pm for Ballots N Brews in Redmond. Bring your ballot, enjoy a beverage, ask questions, then drop your ballot at the Redmond City Hall Ballot box. Sign up to attend.
Back by popular demand, Hanna will be leading an IE King County Ballot Processing Center tour Thurs Oct 29 at 10 am in Renton. Sign up to attend.
Don’t forget ongoing in-person events from Postcarding to Whistle Kit making to Weekly protests. Meet up, do good, have fun.

Weekly Actions

✊ Action 1 – Two Concrete Ways to Support Immigrants

Action 1a. Delete Door Dash

For the last year and a half, DoorDash has been silent as their delivery drivers have been hunted and even killed in the streets by ICE and other federal police.

Now ICE has shot yet another person, Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez, who delivers food for DoorDash. It is unacceptable that DoorDash has not released any statements supporting their drivers who are consistently attacked by ICE.

DC communities are calling on all allies to #DeleteDoorDash until demands are met. Learn more, including steps to delete your DoorDash account and report you’ve done so, at DeleteDoorDash.com

Action 1b. Adopt a Day Laborer Corner (Home Depot) with NDLON

The National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) sponsors a support program called Adopt a Corner. Volunteers stand with immigrants while they are seeking work in places like Home Depots. We build relationships with the workers, show we care about them, provide them with information such as know your rights cards, and let them know about resources for help.

There are four Home Depots on the Eastside and Issaquah that have Adopt a Corner programs: Bellevue, Bothell, Issaquah, and Redmond. They all need more volunteers especially as ICE has been active on the Eastside. Training and support will be provided by a great group of volunteers.

Learn more by watching this recording of the Adopt a Corner Webinar, then sign up to volunteer.

Bellevue | Bothell |Issaquah | Redmond

This is a great opportunity for you to begin volunteering where you can make a difference.

✊ Action 2 – UPDATED WEEKLY: Make a Plan to Help to Get Out the Vote!

💥 Top Tips

VoteWA.gov – Washington state’s official voter registration and information portal: For voter registration and tracking the status of your ballot, visit votewa.gov . Ballots are placed in the mail to registered voters by October 16.
WA Dems Voter Protection Hotline: If you have questions about voting or your ballot, call the Voter Protection hotline at 206-309-VOTE (8683).
❌ DO NOT use votesafe.org. This is a fake voter registration site set up by Elon Musk that will grab your data and personal information and does not actually register people to vote.

💥 Attend a candidate forum

Thur Sep 24, 6 pm – East King County APIC: LD 41, LD 45 & LD 48 Candidate Roundtables – North Bellevue Community Center, 4063 148th Ave NE, Bellevue.

Mon Oct 5, 6 pm – LD 45 & LD 48 Housing Equity Candidate Forum – General Election – virtual.

💥 Help to Defeat the harmful initiatives on the ballot

No Hate in WA State: Needed Actions to Defeat I-001 and I-638:

Governor Ferguson has joined over 250 organizations, including the Seattle Times editorial board in opposing the initiatives, and the No Hate in WA State Campaign is gaining more traction. Unfortunately we can’t assume these initiatives will be defeated and need to spread the word. Watch and share this powerful message from Campaign Manager Libby Watson.

Here’s how to get the word out to VOTE NO statewide:

Talk with your friends, neighbors, and anyone you meet about the harmful impacts of I-001 and I-638. Even non-voters know other voters, especially since the votes may impact them.
Phone bank virtually on Wednesdays (5-7 pm) and Sundays (4-6 pm) – training provided before calling begins.
Canvass – kick-off canvassing on the Eastside begins Oct 1.
Join a tabling event – we need help at Issaquah Salmon Days on Oct 3 & 4. Email Jan at kapoho.yo@frontier.com to join.
Sign the online Pledge to Vote NO.
Write a Letter to the Editor of your city/local paper – template and tips provided.

No on 645 – I-645 would repeal the Millionaires Tax, a historic new law that will modestly increase taxes on just the top half of one percent of Washingtonians – while cutting taxes for the other 99.5% of us. The first campaign ad is live on television, kicking off a substantial advertising campaign that will run through the election on November 3. You can see the ad HERE. Please share widely!

Cybersecurity Corner

With Flock cameras being slowly taken down, some agencies are replacing them with Axon devices. 404Media is asking folks to file public records requests so they can correlate what those cameras see and report, and understand how they’re being used. In the 404Media article, to find the template for a public records request, search for To Whom It May Concern. The public records request should include a reference to the public records law; in WA, it’s RCW 42.56.030 (more background about the law here). The article also asks that If you file a request and get data back, please email it to joseph@404media.co.

⛅ Bright Spots

Because of harassment by the FCC, Jimmy Kimmel Live decided against broadcasting an (outstanding!) interview with James Talarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas – and instead posted it on YouTube, which the FCC has no control over. The net result: it was seen by about ten million more viewers. If broadcasted, the interview would probably have reached about 1.8 million viewers (see the left side of the graph at 10:10 in this MSNow video), but at last check reached more than 12 million. Three cheers for freedom of speech!
Over half a million voters registered on National Voter Registration Day Sep 15th.
The Trump administration’s WA voter roll lawsuit was dismissed. The Justice Department has now lost 25 similar cases across the country.
An appeals court ruled that the Trump administration’s third-country deportation policy is unlawful. However, the administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene.
