Braver Angels workshop

“Family & Politics”

Wednesday, March 4@7-930 PM central / 8PM Eastern – ZOOM

Vision Forward 2.0 / Braver Angels: Family and Politics: How to Talk With Loved Ones on the Other Side – Participation Details

Family relationships are becoming casualties of our toxic political environment…. Family members are having nasty political arguments, avoiding each other, or even cutting off lifetime relationships.

If you want to preserve important family bonds while still being true to your values and political beliefs, this workshop will offer you:

– Insight into why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging

– Recognition of common roles that family members play in political conversations (for example, the Gladiator, the Defender, and the Sniper)

Strategies and skills for handling family political differences in a constructive way

Although the focus is on family relationships, you can use learnings in this workshop with any loved one.

You’ll laugh and have some fun in this workshop—it won’t be all serious. After all, we all come from quirky families.

#### PLEASE JOIN US ON MARCH 4TH.

Sorting Soup: A Book Club for Resistance & Resilience

THURSDAYS / SUNDAYS – Zoom .. Thursday’s @5:00 / Sunday’s @4PM CT Zoom

Feeling overwhelmed by the scale of what we’re facing? You’re not alone. That’s why Sorting Soup has evolved into a space where we do more than just talk about the news—we read the blueprints, name the patterns, and build the knowledge we need to resist authoritarianism with clarity and purpose.

Sunday Seconds: Go Deeper, Catch Up, or Just Breathe

Missed Thursday? Need more time with the material? Just want to process with a smaller, quieter group? That’s what Sunday Seconds is for. Every Sunday morning, we reconvene to revisit the previous week’s reading in greater depth. We slow down, pull out the quotes that hit hardest, highlight contributions from first-time speakers, and make space for the reflections that didn’t quite fit on Thursday night.

sharing best practices and innovative ideas

“NO KINGS 3”

“Best Practices Zoom”

Friday, March 6th 3-4 pm CT / 4-5pm ET – Zoom

This Friday, March 6, join fellow Indivisible groups for a dynamic Zoom call focused on sharing best practices and innovative ideas under the NO KINGS 3 March 28th Protest / Rallies campaign. Groups from across the network will exchange “cool stuff” they’re doing to mobilize against authoritarianism ahead of key actions like the March 28 nationwide protests.

**Small/Rural and First-Time Group Strategies**

First-time and small rural groups often succeed by leveraging deep canvassing and neighbor-to-neighbor conversations to build trust in tight-knit communities.Tech onboarding, like “Computer 101” sessions for virtual meetings, helps maintain engagement despite challenges like long drives or limited resources.Hosting summits or partnering with local faith groups amplifies impact in overlooked areas.

**Large Metro Area Tactics**

Large metro chapters thrive by forming empowered committees for tasks like events, communications, and partnerships, ensuring inclusive structures with clear reporting. They coordinate statewide networks for joint actions, prioritizing diversity and recruitment to scale efforts. Regular leadership huddles and member updates keep momentum high in fast-paced urban settings.

**Why Attend and Next Steps**

This call bridges rural and metro experiences, fostering cross-learning to strengthen our collective resistance—no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Expect breakout discussions tailored to group sizes, plus actionable takeaways for your chapter.

No Thrones. No Crowns

No Kings

We have the power and are claiming it together.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.

On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.
