Indivisible Netherlands ❌👑

Hungary Serbia Brazil Please let us be next

We’ve waited two long years for these midterms. Now we’ve only got one week left to get out the vote and win back power from the fascists.

Veel dank aan @delinksemannen.bsky.social (in dit geval de Linkse Man Bram Douwes) voor dit gesprek met onze medeoprichter @hayleyhughes.bsky.social over de midterms. Dutch and English speakers: tune in for a bilingual discussion about what's at stake for the US and the world in November.

anyone out there who's looking for any (and every) way to get involved in the midterms, here's a tip: @indivisible.org is hosting a few phone banking events in the coming days!

There were more than 3,000 No Kings + No Tyrants events last Saturday! Here's just a small taste of what our members got up to, from Florence to Amsterdam to Ottawa. Plus we've got a few tips at the end for how you can stay involved in the final run-up to the midterms.

We've waited two long years for this moment. Let's get to work. share.indvs.org/s/XuHnRsax

Head's up for voters abroad who may be getting antsy about their ballots arriving in time for the midterms: you can also cast a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB), known as a 'back-up ballot.' Here's more info about it from @votefromabroad.bsky.social

New mail ballot rules in NC may lead to the rejection of thousands of ballots. Check the status of your mail ballot—or vote in person to make sure your votes count. Voters must seal not only the outer envelopes of their mail ballots but also the inner envelopes that contain their ballots.

U.S. Democratic nominee Brad Lander has been detained by the IDF while joining rabbis and volunteers to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the West Bank. This incident follows just days after photojournalist Heidi Levine suffered broken ribs and vertebrae in a brutal attack by settlers.

Despite Meta’s censorship, we saw a 51% jump in early voting in areas with a No Kings event. @ezralevin.bsky.social joined @chrislhayes.bsky.social to explain why we need real answers from Mark Zuckerberg.

Election Day is just two weeks away — and we’ve got lots of ways you can make a difference in the midterms! Help us contact voters in the states and districts that will decide this election.

Democracy is no laughing matter, yet comedy speaks truth to power. At our No Tyrants: Vote Early event in Amsterdam, we laughed, took some deep breaths & raised over €300 for @aclu.org + @publiccitizen.bsky.social! Thanks @letsdoubledutch.bsky.social & @basilok.eurosky.social - LET'S VOTE!

And thanks @dutchnewsnl.bsky.social for this piece on United States citizens in the Netherlands (including our co-founder @hayleyhughes.bsky.social) about how we’re getting involved in the midterm race and the challenges we face - together:

Bedankt @sjoerdjong.bsky.social van @nrc.nl "De bijeenkomst op het Museumplein heeft iets weg van een Amerikaans tuinfeest, met buren die elkaar kennen, zelfgebakken cookies, speeches en mini-conferences van twee komieken. Als de zon doorbreekt raken de anti-tirannen in een beste stemming."

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Leah Greenberg: No Kings is a deceptively simple statement. It is a statement that in America, power lies at the hands of the people, and we express our power at the ballot box.

here's another round up of photos from our gathering: we had around 50 folks show up, and we raised nearly 300 euros through our mutual aid charity bake sale! @indivisibleabroad.bsky.social @votefromabroad.bsky.social @indivisible.org

So sorry to not be there in person but was glad to help a tiny bit with the organization beforehand. Spending the week back in the US for work and bringing the kid along. Go VOTE!

And as always @basilok.eurosky.social put this political moment in historical and legal context, both Dutch and American

And huge thanks to Jennifer from @votefromabroad.bsky.social for being on hand to help eligible voters to figure out how to cast their ballot!

And @letsdoubledutch.bsky.social made sure everyone knew they could vote (or get registered) at our rally, at our super sturdy improvised table of Dutch bottle crates ♥️🤍💙

Many thanks to our speakers including the wonderful @gregshapironl.bsky.social who graced us with a live reading of a piece from his newest show, “King Me”

Amsterdam’s voting rights rally during #nokings was an empowering moment to come together abroad and remind each other that we’re not alone in the fight for democracy @indivisibleabroad.bsky.social

Tomorrow is the day! Join us and @gregshapironl.bsky.social and @letsdoubledutch.bsky.social for a voting rights rally in Amsterdam on 17 October at the Museumplein! #nokings @indivisibleabroad.bsky.social

You heard the man! Join us and @gregshapironl.bsky.social AND @letsdoubledutch.bsky.social on Saturday and make sure that you vote for democracy instead of your non-vote going to a king no one wants

Who's joining us this weekend in Amsterdam during our early voting rally? If you're planning to come, be sure to sign up here: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We have three goals for the next No Kings Day on October 17: 1) Boosting vote turnout to the biggest it’s ever been for the midterms. 2) Getting our communities prepared to organize against election sabotage. 3) Creating a mandate for the reforms and accountability we want to see next year.

We're finalizing our list of speakers and presenters at our upcoming voting rights rally in Amsterdam on 17 October, and we're really (REALLY) looking forward to being able to announce our line up later this week! In the meantime, be sure to sign up if you're planning to join us:

Stand for democracy and celebrate our voting power with us on 17 October! US midterms are right around the corner so every eligible US citizen abroad needs to VOTE! We'll provide guidance on casting your ballot - Dutch and international allies are welcome! RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Save the date: On 17 October, we're heading back to the Museumplein for a solidarity rally! We'll have support on hand to make sure the ballots of Americans eligible to vote from abroad are counted - and a few fun ways to blow off some steam. More details to follow 🗳️

Angry about what´s happening in the world? Tired of doomscrolling? Authoritarianism depends on the isolation and apathy of people. The antidote is community and action. We are building a global movement. Join us! secure.ngpvan.com/WFM4LJu28EWQ...

We are more organized and informed than we’ve ever been before — and that’s why we’re going to win the midterms.

Nothing beats the old school satisfaction of rocking your “i voted” sticker but our co-founder has made a lovely substitute - now it’s your turn! Check out @votefromabroad.bsky.social to get your ballot and get it submitted asap!

Millions of Americans will take action on October 17 to make it clear to the regime that we won’t sit by while they threaten to sabotage the midterms. Join a No Kings event to drive massive early voting and recruit tons of volunteers to help protect our elections: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

ICE just signed $7.3 billion in contracts to build detention space on land it owns, after its warehouse plan stalled. A $1.2 billion contract for a California site ICE left in 2014 went to a company tied to a developer facing more than a dozen lawsuits.
