Events
WHEN : Every Thursday at 1:00pm (3:00pm EST)
WHERE: Virtual, so listen from anywhere. Here is where you can sign up.
WHAT THIS IS: The co-founders of Indivisible, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, hold a weekly call. They give a summary of what they see as priority actions for local groups to take as well as do a Q&A for group leaders and members who are on the call live. They are well worth your time and are where our local group gets most of our direction for what to focus on.
It's fun to be on the actual call, but if you can't join on Thursday afternoons, they are always posted to YouTube to watch afterwards. Click on the What's the Plan? playlist and you'll see each one labeled with the date it occurred.
WHEN : Thursday 5/1 @11am to 12pm
WHERE: Near 1125 South 500 West , Lehi (park at the Holiday and we'll pick from a few spots along Pioneer Crossing where we can be seen from the road but not block the sidewalk).
WHAT IT IS: Can't make it to Salt Lake for the 50501 May Day event? Join a handful of us for a mini protest. The picture is from a small protest I attended in Provo earlier this year. It was not a large group, but we got a lot of positive honks and waves from traffic going by plus I met a few pretty cool people. :) Something is better than nothing, so if you're able to come we would love to have you.
Note: Anyone can plan a mini protest anywhere and at any time. This just happened to be a spot and time that worked for me (Sarah) on this particular day. Feel free to do the same. You have the constitutional right to protest without a permit anywhere that isn't private property as long as you are being peaceful, not obstructing pedestrian walkways, and not obstructing traffic.
WHEN : Thursday 5/1 @12pm to 2pm
WHERE: Washington Square Park (451 S. State Street, Salt Lake City)
WHAT IT IS: This is a nationwide day of protest for the organization 50501, which aligns with the values and goals of Indivisible. May 1, aka May Day, is recognized by workers and unions as a day to commemorate the rights of these important groups. Bring your workers' rights signs and join with our SLC friends for a celebration of American workers.
WHEN : Saturday 5/3 from 12pm to 3pm
WHERE: Utah State Capitol South Steps
WHAT IT IS: This creative twist on a standard protest is focusing on the ways that MAGA policies have figuratively killed so many things we hold dear in America along with protesting the actual harm and literal deaths that will result from many of Trump's recent program cuts and problematic policies. Attendees are even invite to make tombstone-shaped signs and posters highlighting issues that concern them most.
WHEN : Thursday 5/8 @7pm
WHERE: American Fork City Library
64 South 100 East
American Fork, UT 84003
WHAT WE'LL BE DOING: Our group meets once a month to plan and discuss upcoming events. We do a lot of this within the Facebook group as well, but it's a wonderful thing to connect in person and actually be together.
Our agenda for May's meeting is mostly to assign out specific tasks and committee roles. Many of you have expressed the desire to help and do more, and as our group is growing we certainly need to get everyone we can on board. We would love to see you there!
