You Are Invited...

There's a lot going on and it's hard to keep up! Check here for all the updates and ongoing information. Friends, we have to stick together if we're going to make things better for our community, state and country.

Local Assembly Representative Joel Kitchens is conducting a listening session with his District Community. Come out to make your views known. He needs to learn our local views on the state budget after Republicans discarded the budget from Governor Tony Evers.

Rep. Kitchens wants the attendees to focus on Gov. Evers proposed budget, but all should know that the Republican Legislature has preemptively discarded hundreds of line items from the Governor's Budget and is sitting on a $4 billion surplus and is proposing a tax cut while the Republicans in DC are killing programs (Medicaid, Medicare, NOAA, EPA, Meals on Wheels, SNAP, public schools and other programs) Wisconsinites rely on.

Hope you can make one of sessions.
We MUST hold the Republicans accountable.

We need the support of each of you at this rally to show there are no kings in America.

We will gather at Sawyer Park (Neenah & the Oregon St. bridge) and march across one of the bridges and past either the Farmer's Market or Steel Bridge Music Fest (or both!!!) and back to Sawyer Park.
Make and bring your own signs. We will have megaphones and flags (it will be Flag Day on June 14th). We are inviting both Kewaunee and Brown Counties and have reached out to the Fox Valley Indivisible group as well. June 14th will be a busy day all across America as the Resistance Pushes Back against Trump’s stupid Birthday Parade in DC. Hope you can make it.

There's More and we need you here! New perspectives from right here in Door!

The purpose of this event is to provide an educational and immersive experience for community members to combat and have tools to respond to the current social and political climate. The hope is to educate and illuminate our community on four very important issues: The Black experience in Door County, Trans experience in Door County the immigrant experience in Door County and, how to be an effective Ally and Advocate. We hope to see a good number of Indivisibles at this sponsored event.

Annual Celebration of Pride Month in June

We also want to remind all that June is Pride Month and Open Door Pride is seeking donations to help them strengthen their organization and provide meaningful support to the Door County LGBTQ+ Community. Indivisible supports both Open Door Pride and their partner group, Northern Door Pride (see above) and will have a booth at Open Door Pride Fest on Saturday June 28.

April 19 Democratic Party of Door County Hands-Off Pop-Up Rally

Drone footage estimates say there were around 450 Door County Residents gathered in Sturgeon Bay to show " This is what Democracy looks like!"

Channel 26 came out to film our local participation in "Hands-Off"!

April 11 Town Hall without Tony Wied

Where's "Tody"? He couldn't be bothered to hold a town hall with his constituents! Instead, he subjected us to a phone town hall with Tom Tiffany, District 7, where he avoided answering most questions. Not satisfied with this copout, citizens of the eighth district invited him to join us, Friday, April 11. He turned us down, so the town hall went on without him. We brought our questions, and he did not come with answers.

April 5 Rally

From Arizona

from Illinois

APRIL 5 WAS THE PEOPLE'S DAY! THERE WERE SOME REALLY STRONG EMOTIONS EXPRESSED.

Resistance organizations across the nation will be hitting the streets proclaiming "Hey DOGE, keep your Hands off: Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, Education, Agriculture, USAID, NOAA" --- the list unfortunately is virtually endless.

In Northeast Wisconsin we are rallying on Saturday April 5in Appleton along with other groups. 11:00 AM in Houdini Plaza. This is a day when we can flex our power. A day when we, the PEOPLE OF AMERICA, stand tall and say ENOUGH. STOP. Now we know Appleton, isn't just down the road a bit. But we also know that Door County folks travel to Green Bay and Appleton frequently for haircuts, doctor's and dentist's appointments, concerts, sporting events, Costco, etc.

So, we are asking folks to take a day trip for their country. If millions can rally for democracy in Belgrade, Budapest, Paris, and throughout the world, certainly we can adjust our schedules and go to Appleton. We encourage all to be creative and make your own signs. The theme is "Hands Off (the program of your choice). We have seen creative signs at marches on TV. We can do it too. It's a chance to use that cardboard box that's in the way in the garage.

This will be a powerful statement to Tony Wied, Andre Jacque, and Joel Kitchens that N.E. Wisconsin is not putting up with this Republican Bullshit and we are not going to put up with them either if they go along with it.

April 5 is The People's Veto Day. Please join the millions of people who will be standing up for democracy, their communities, their neighbors, and their own families.
