Why We Resist



Oppose Initiatives IL26-001 & IL26-638

This year Brian Heywood is spending millions on two poorly written initiatives that threaten the safety of every student.


Justice Department moves to toss conspiracy convictions for Jan. 6 rioters

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders who were sentenced to prison terms for leading members of the far-right extremist groups in attacking the U.S. Capitol to keep President Donald Trump in office over five years ago.



Wars – We can’t keep up with the madness




ICE

Caught in the Crackdown: As Arrests at Anti-ICE Protests Piled Up, Prosecutions Crumbled

What Resistance Looks Like and

Some Good News


These two sections get merged this week, as we celebrate the best news we’ve had in a while:  Victor Orban’s defeat in Hungary!  Enjoy these clips and analysis:

Electric reportage from the streets of Budapest (video) the night before the election

A complete story covering the background and implications (PBS,video)

Lessons for the US from Orban’s Defeat (Guardian)

And that dance we can’t get enough of! (video)


Additionally, GOP members of the house have broken with leadership on the vote for the FISA bill.  The FISA bill is the one that allows US government to obtain phone records of US citizens without a warrant.  It’s an egregious abuse of due process that deserves to expire.  Here’s an action you can take to let your congress people know that!

Join us for an afternoon of learning and discussion. Tickets can be purchased

Twenty percent of ticket sales will be donated to HEAL Palestine, a non-political, nonprofit organization founded in January 2024, in response to the unimaginable devastation in Gaza, where thousands of lives were lost in a short period, impacting generations for decades to come. If you have been unable to figure out what to do, or who to connect with about this genocide, this is the place for you. Build your community and help Gaza’s children recover.

Mission Statement

North Kitsap Indivisible is committed to fight for social justice and to maintain civil liberties. We model inclusion, respect, and fairness in all of our actions. We believe the policies and actions of the MAGA Republican Party are racist, authoritarian, corrupt and are damaging the environment. Discrimination, hate mongering and corruption have no place in our democratic process.
