New River Valley Indivisible
@nrvindivisible.bsky.social
Local chapter of Indivisible (indivisible.org) in Southwest Virginia’s New River Valley, in Montgomery County and surrounding localities, since January 2017. Our mission: elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.
Protest ICE abuses and other authoritarian moves by the Trump regime. This Friday, 5:00-6:00 pm, on sidewalk in front of the Blacksburg downtown Post Office. Please sign up and check instructions here. (And no, it’s NOT the Postal Service we’re protesting! :) That’s just the location.)
Blacksburg Post Office Protest · Indivisible
The post office is at 118 North Main St. across from the UPS store. We will gather starting at 4:50pm. If participants can’t be there by 5:00pm that’s ok - they should just join in once they can....

And the opposition to Trump’s secret police and related abuses keeps growing.
Poll: Trump's ratings on immigration tumble as Americans lose confidence in his top issue
Immigration has been one of President Donald Trump’s strong suits, but the new NBC News Decision Desk Poll shows his numbers falling to the same level as his overall approval.

ICE is now the secret police. And Americans will not tolerate secret police. @indivisible.org

Progress! Thank you, Gov. #Spanberger. It doesn’t cover local law enforcement, however - we are looking into that locally.

Spanberger orders state law enforcement to exit federal immigration agreements
The governor also signed an executive order laying out priorities for state police.

Thanks to our sister group Indivisible River Falls, Wisconsin, for sharing this advice! We all need to be cautious about what we believe - no matter how much we might want to believe it.
We've all been there...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

WMRA public radio report on vindication of 3 Shenandoah County visibility brigade participants, our fellow Virginia anti-Trump, pro-democracy activists. Some of our folks went up to attend the court proceedings.

Over 100 showed up for our #ICEoutforGood protest in Blacksburg last Friday. We got LOTS of friendly honks. It was almost a continuous din. Glad to have the #RoanokeTimes report on it. #AbolishICE

This is quite a list/map. Virginia has about 150 of these companies. To read most of the article, you have to give your email address, but you aren't charged.

From my heart and home to yours and all around the nation, let's light a candle in the darkness for #AlexPretti and the people of Minn. Please participate and share the light in the darkness across social media tonight. #iceout #iceoutnow #minneapolis #minnesota @nrvindivisible.bsky.social

Finally #Schumer and other slow-to-act Democratice senators are showing a bit of spine. But don’t assume we can just depend on them to do the right thing. Call your Democratic senator and tell them it is critical that they refuse to vote for DHS funding.
Schumer: Democrats will block funding package if it includes homeland security money
Announcement comes as anger toward DHS – which oversees ICE – intensifies after Alex Pretti fatally shot
