Tomorrow, Sat Jan 10 at 11am, we gather at Monument Square in Portland. We’re joining the national ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action to honor Renee Good, an American citizen killed by ICE, and to demand accountability for the human cost of unchecked enforcement violence. Join us.
Graphic for Indivisible Greater Portland Maine. At the top is the Indivisible logo and the words “Greater Portland Maine.” Below is a banner reading “ICE Out For Good.” Large text announces “Monument Square, Saturday, 11am–Noon.” On the right is an image of the Monument Square statue in Portland, Maine, set against a blue background.

I want to connect the dots.

The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.

A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.
