The Starbucks CEO earns 6,666 times more than the typical worker at the coffee chain.

Stand with the local baristas who are striking for higher wages. Boycott Starbucks and buy your coffee at a local coffee shop instead.

What's your favorite local coffee shop in Madison?

Our November meetings focused on our bite-sized, accessible actions and our attention to community-building and relationships.

We've got more planned for 2026, and there is almost certainly a lane for you.

Republicans are weaponizing hunger and health care in order to preserve tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

It's obscene.

Post this image on your front door tonight to help boost resources to food banks across the US.

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans — and the GOP has forced a government shutdown to do it.

Call your representative today.

A couple nearing retirement in Madison will see their insurance purchased on the ACA exchange increase by nearly 300%.

But millionaires like our Senator Ron Johnson think it's no big deal.

Is health care a big deal to you? Call the Senator's office closest to you and let him know.

Because of Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill, a single mom in Dane County will see her health insurance costs soar by 130%.

A couple nearing retirement will see an increase of 286%.

Now, Republican's have shut the government down and left DC so they don't have to face the crisis they created.

Call Sen. Johnson and share your thoughts.

Keep your eyes peeled, Dane County.

He may be out and about this weekend at various Badger sporting events.

It's a beautiful day to march. Join @indivisiblemadison.bsky.social in supporting science and our planet.

Today at noon on the Library Mall.

In the past week we've seen the idea of free speech tossed aside, more crony Supreme Court rulings, clear evidence of a senior official taking a cash bribe, the murder of more people in boats off the coast of Venezuela, and more.

Stand up. Show up. March.

The US is one of just a few countries in the world w/o a federal short-term paid sick leave policy. That's the red on the map.

Missouri voters deserve paid time off when they are ill.

We all deserve this.

But once again Republicans sided against everyday people and with corporations & rich CEOs.

Child care is a "Wisconsin problem" not just an issue for families with kids.

A lack of state and federal dollars for child care results in a broken system where families can't afford care and ECE professionals are not paid a living wage.

Show up on Friday and lend your voice to the fight for ECE.

The vast majority of Wisconsinites support greater investment in affordable child care

Want to get involved? Start on Friday.

‪As @indivisible.org's @leahgreenberg.bsky.social said, fighting back with joy and community is how we beat the fascists.

Register for our July meeting where we will gather together to share a meal:

WDDP members visited Ron Johnson's office today to encourage him to take action to support Wisconsinites, not billionaires.

The Republican agenda is not pro-family or pro-life.

It is an agenda for the white, rich, and powerful.

Across Wisconsin, an estimated 69,300 people showed up this past weekend at a No Kings Day event to fight for democracy.

If we all held hands, we could form a human chain from Madison to Milwaukee.

Join us: www.danedemocracy.org

H/T to @wisconsinresist.bsky.social for tallying the numbers.

This is what democracy looks like. Children showing us the way.

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too far.

No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

Join the #NoKings mass mobilization event this Saturday, June 14.
