“Join “SHARING OUR STORIES (SOS) Organizing/Planning Meeting”

amplifying the voices of those affected

Wednesday, December 3rd @ 7 Central / 8 Eastern – Zoom

Our very own Sharing Our Stories (SOS) group is hosting its 7th meeting, dedicated to amplifying the voices of those affected by the harmful policies of the Trump administration.

In this meeting we will seek out committed volunteers to move this project forward.

Whether you have a story to share or possess skills in writing, video content creation/editing, research/story development, interviewing, volunteer organization, social media amplification, tech skills, or leadership, or can help by finding stories or sharing one of your own your talents are needed.

Together, we’ll collect and lift up these narratives—spreading them across social media, legislative hearings, town halls, protests, and personal conversations. No story is too small; every experience matters.

________________________________________

By coming together, we create a space to foster empathy, spark meaningful change, and ensure these crucial stories are heard. Personal stories can move hearts and minds in ways facts alone cannot—they turn statistics into urgent calls for compassion and justice.

Join us on 3 Dec 25 for a powerful evening of connection, learning, and action. By coming together as the Indivisible community, we can ensure our voices—our stories—shape the future we want to see.

Everyone in our Indivisible community is welcome; every voice matters. Your participation will be invaluable as we work together for lasting change.

“SCOTUS Is Acting Outside the Law”

Speaker: Ed Spire, Restore Our Democracy

Thursday 12/4 @ 7:00 pm CT on Zoom

Join NWSOFA-Indivisible this Thursday at 7:00 pm CT on Zoom for a timely and eye-opening presentation with Ed Spire, co-lead of our Restore Our Democracy team and a longtime advocate for protecting and strengthening American democracy. Ed will walk through how today’s Supreme Court has moved far beyond its traditional role as an impartial interpreter of the Constitution, increasingly acting as a political actor that reshapes our laws and our rights from the bench.

In recent terms, the Court has struck down long-standing voting rights protections, opened the floodgates to big money in politics, and limited the tools lower courts can use to stop unconstitutional actions by the president and other officials. These decisions do not simply reflect conservative versus progressive philosophies; they change the basic rules of the game, tilting power toward wealthy interests and the executive branch while weakening checks and balances. Ed will explain how these rulings fit together into a larger pattern of a Court that is stepping outside the law’s guardrails rather than enforcing them.

Ed’s talk will connect the dots between abstract court cases and the real-world impact on communities in Illinois and across the country. From voting rights and gerrymandering to presidential power and the “shadow docket,” he will show how the Court’s recent moves make it harder for ordinary people to hold leaders accountable and easier for extremists to lock in minority rule. Participants will come away with a clearer understanding of what is at stake and why this is a democracy issue, not just a legal one.

Please join NWSOFA-Indivisible’s Restore Our Democracy team on Thursday at 7:00 pm CT and invite friends who are ready to learn more about how the Supreme Court is acting outside the law—and what we can do about it together.
