Actions

Resources including Immigrant Support, Eastside Protests, Postcarding and more

For the week of April 6, 2026

🎙️Apr 6, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

🔷 A huge Thank You to Redmond’s Girl Scout Troop 43176 and their leader Kimble, who have collected over 30 bags of supplies for immigrant families in the past week. These girls have a huge heart and prodigious organizing skills! The supplies will be delivered to Eastside organizations who support immigrant families.

🔷 Last week Gov. Ferguson signed Washington’s first income tax law in nearly 100 years. This, however welcome, is only the beginning as it will be fought vigorously on several fronts. At play in all this will be the fact that five out of our nine state Supreme Court judges will be on the ballot this fall. As we move into election season this will be something to keep our collective eye on.

🔷 Are you interested in a fun activity that you can host in your home to support immigrant families on the Eastside? The 4Tomorrow organization is ready to help you to plan a Tamale Party! With their help, you will plan for 6-10 people to join you to prepare and cook 200 tamales for families impacted by recent immigration enforcement. All supplies are provided. Details are here.

🔷 Thank you to those of you who notified us of a problem with Action 2 last week. We asked you to submit a survey concerning input into the role of the King County Sheriff in immigration enforcement. Unfortunately there has been a technical problem with the survey which is still not resolved. When we hear more we will update the action.

Weekly Actions

 

✊ Action 1 – What’s Next After No Kings 3? Make plans to follow up with further action

No Kings 3 was a huge success, both here in Washington and across the country. Attendance at our Kirkland event was approximately 7,000 people. The 48th LD Democrats put out a great video of the event, which you can see on their Instagram page. (It’s also available on their Facebook page but a link was not available.)

Our state hosted 122 events, attended by 220,000 people and nationally a record-breaking estimated 8 million people turned out across more than 3,300 events. The question now is how to translate the energy of a mass protest into an effective, ongoing political force.

Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, talked about next steps in an organizing call last week (she speaks at 34:01). In summary, she stressed that it is about getting people into ongoing, sustained civic engagement everywhere in the country. She said “No action alone is going to fix things, but together it all creates that tapestry of defiance that is necessary and builds the muscles we are going to draw on as we face challenges ahead….”

In alignment with Indivisible’s plans to build on the No Kings energy for sustained activity, here are three opportunities for you to step up your engagement in the next few weeks.

  1. Attend our next group meeting on April 19th (register to attend). Our plans include finding ways to connect you more closely with your community and to talk about what you can do together, to be part of that tapestry of defiance.
  2. Between now and May 1, join one of the at least ten Eastside street weekly protests. Details are HERE.
  3. Take action on May 1, which will be a national day of action put together by the May Day Strong coalition, when workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through “No School. No Work. No Shopping.” This action has two parts:

✊ Action 2 – Learn about strategies to protect our elections

  • Nick Brown, Washington State Attorney General

  • Charles Douglas III, Executive Director of Common Power

This webinar has been organized by the Free Washington Project and Standing for Democracy. Please join (register online) and spread the word to help spark a statewide conversation about strategies for resistance.


⛅ Bright Spots

  • At our No Kings 3 Rally (attended by 7,000 people) we collected 1,100 lbs of food for Hopelink and $4,452 in donations for the four Eastside immigrant support organizations. Thank you!!
  • Attorney General Nick Brown is co-leading a coalition of 23 attorneys general and one governor in challenging the President’s unlawful executive order restricting voter eligibility and mail-in voting.
  • A federal judge blocked Trump’s order to end funding for NPR and PBS, finding that he had violated the First Amendment.
  • Pam Bondi has been fired as Attorney General, despite her obsequious and fawning behavior towards Trump.
  • A federal judge ordered a halt to Trump’s $400m White House ballroom project. Since then a federal agency has issued final approval for the White House ballroom project but the judge’s prior decision halted construction and so work may be restricted to planning until a final decision is made.
