Our Country May Have Found Our Hero, Our Leader

Ezra Levin - Who is he you ask?

Ezra is the leader of No Kings, our rallying cry, Ezra is the leader of Indivisible.

Remember Tuesday's elections? The places where Democrats stomped Magats at the polls are the same places that held No Kings Rallies.

Hey Folks, you can join Indivisible, there are local chapters. Hey folks, you can donate money to Indivisible.

The American people are ahead of Democratic politicians, we are ready to fight and we will vote for Democrats who are with us.

No more BS of moderate v progressive, we want fighters, period.

We have spoken! On Tuesday night our votes were our voice.

We have stood up at protests! And we do so so daily...everywhere.

This is too big of a job for one or a few heroes. We need a coalition of millions of heroes.

He is the “leader” of an organization that provides resources for The People to be the change they wish to see, at whatever level works for them, large or small.

So, yes, he is a leader, but he is not The One, not The Saviour that some are depending upon to rescue us.

ALSO, find out who your Democratic precinct captain is and ask them how you can help Dems in your precinct. THAT is the grassroots.


It’s ALL HANDS ON DECK to defeat SHitler and his fascist cult.

No Kings is already way bigger than the Tea Party and the Tea Party did influence the election.

Let's get behind Indivisible, No Kings, baby.

I echo most Indivisible emails there, though in recent days, to GD for higher visibility, and it shows in the rec's. I like the "findability" there.

Indivisible and mobilize.us have helped energize the nation.

You’ll find yourself surrounded by others of like mind and the same kind of anti-Trump determination you feel. And there’s a sense of comradeship you’ll sense. Everybody’s there for the same reason you’re there. You all oppose Trump.

You might even make a new friend or two, especially if you start noticing the same folks at several rallies in a row. And if nothing else, you’ll see proof that you’re not alone in how you feel.

It means we're DOING something. We're DOING something about the abysmal state of things, and it keeps us too busy to stop and get bummed out about where we are, at present. It helps to focus on what you're working on - for where we're GONNA BE, and sooner than later.
