    For the week of February 23, 2026

    🎙️Feb 23, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

    🔷 “We mourn a giant in the civil rights movement who left an indelible mark on our politics and our world. All of us in the fight to build a democracy that works for everyone stand on the shoulders of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Rest in power to an icon in the movements for racial equality and economic justice. Together, we will carry on the fight to prove that ‘We the People can win!’” – Indivisible.org

    🔷 On February 23 at 4:30 pm PST, in celebration of Black History Month, Indivisible is launching this year’s Solidarity in Action: Building Power That Lasts discussion series with Systems and Power: Lessons From Those Who Came Before Us. Celebrate Black history and leadership by examining how past organizers built resilient movements. Explore systemic power structures and inequities, and translate historical lessons into contemporary movement-building and leadership practices.

    🔷 Feb 22nd marks one year since the Indivisible Eastside Rally team first met to organize weekly Redmond protests. Since then we’ve hosted four large rallies (Hands Off, May Day and two No Kings), countless street protests, overpass bannering and special mobilizations. Thank you to the tireless organizers Sally S, Sally E, Janelle T, Sherri F, Kris T, and welcome to more recent organizers and volunteers Karen and Gail!

    🔷 Help these amazing organizers out! No Kings Kirkland March 28th is in need of volunteers before, during and after the event. If you’re planning on attending, take a look at the opportunities using access code ‘rally’ and sign up for something! Many hands make for a safe, fun, peaceful day of raising our voices to say No Kings, No Thrones, No Dictators.

    Weekly Actions

    ✊ Action 1 – Boycott the State of the Union!

    From MoveOn

    The State of the Union address is February 24, and we already know what we can expect from Donald Trump—hateful rhetoric and lies.

    Since he took office, Trump and his entire administration have done nothing to actually solve the problems facing our country—instead opting to serve their own interests and the interests of their billionaire backers, while continuously lying and further dividing the American people.

    As the Trump administration continues to try to dismantle our democracy, our elected officials must demonstrate a unified dissent and refuse to validate the blatant misinformation we know Trump will be spouting throughout his address. All Democratic members of Congress should take a stand against Trump’s deceitful and divisive rhetoric by boycotting his address.

    Senator Patty Murray has stated she will not attend – edit the text to thank her!

    Action 1a: Contact your members of Congress and ask them to boycott the State of the Union!

    ☎ Sample Script:

    My name is [NAME] and I am a constituent from [CITY], Washington.

    I’m calling to urge you to join your colleagues in boycotting the upcoming State of the Union address. President Trump demonstrates with every speech that he is intent on telling tyrannical lies aimed at hurting ordinary people and damaging our democracy. The State of the Union address will be no different.

    Attending the State of the Union would give legitimacy to a president who has shown nothing but contempt for facts, dignity, and democratic values. I urge you to take a stand by refusing to attend this address. Your absence would send a powerful message to your constituents and to the nation that you will not normalize or validate an agenda built on misinformation and division.

    Now is the time for our elected officials to demonstrate unified opposition to this administration’s tyrannical lies. Please join your colleagues in boycotting the State of the Union address.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    [IF LEAVING A VOICEMAIL: please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied]

    Action 1b: Choose an alternative People’s State of the Union to watch

    People’s State of the Union 5pm PST

    Working People’s Response to State of the Union 7pm PST

    ✊ Action 2 – Tell Sabey Corporation ICE OUT of Washington

    From Indivisible WA 8

    The Washington-based data center company Sabey Corporation appears to be collaborating with ICE. Help us send a clear message to Sabey that ICE is unwelcome in the Evergreen State.

    Action 2a: Send an email to building owners

    Email Joe Sabey and Clete Casper to remind them that their first company value is to “Do the right thing” and that doing business with DHS or ICE is the opposite of that.

    Suggested script – please edit using your own words.

    Dear Mr Sabey/Mr Casper,

    I was very disturbed to learn that Sabey Corporation may be leasing more space to DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at your Riverfront Technical Park in Tukwila. ICE has repeatedly shown a clear disregard for the law, and when you lease space to them for any purpose, you and your company become complicit in their illegal actions.

    The first company value listed on your website is “Do the Right Thing.” Given the recent ICE violence including murders committed in Minneapolis, as well as deliberately cruel actions taken here in the Puget Sound area without any regard for due process, what ICE does is the opposite of “the right thing.”

    Sincerely,

    [NAME]
    Washington State Resident

    Action 2b: Protest New ICE Facility Outside Sabey HQ Wed Feb 25th 4:30-6 pm, Sabey Corporation HQ, 12201 Tukwila International Blvd. Hosted by Southend Indivisible.

    ⛅ Bright Spots

    • Seattle NIH money was under attack. Now it’s at a record high. Most of the NIH grants that had been frozen or terminated seem to have been reinstated. The push to cut researchers’ “indirect costs” has been blocked by courts. And last week, Trump signed a spending package that not only does not cut NIH but also funds it with nearly $49 billion, more than ever before.
    • The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump using emergency powers are illegal and the president took it well reacted with fury and vowed to find a way to impose even more import taxes, reaching for other types of authority that he might (or might not) have.
    • A federal judge in Minnesota found a Trump administration lawyer in civil contempt of court on February 18, a significant escalation between the judiciary and the executive branch amid a ballooning caseload triggered by President Trump’s immigration raids and novel interpretations of law.
