Hello SJNOWIndivisibles,
We are going to Delaney Hall on July 11th. Brass Uprising is going as well.
We'll meet up at the Aldi store near the Ark Road protest place at 8:15 am, and carpool from there.
Donations for families of detainees are welcome. Gift cards, grocery items, small toys for kids.
As of now, there is street parking on Doremeus Ave, so walking isn't a big deal. Will update if that changes.
If you want to bring a sign, do it. I'm going to bring letters to read the thing we all want to say, but can't do it on the bridge.
I am happy to carpool! I may have 1 friend traveling with me.. I'm not sure and waiting for her to confirm. I drive a Subaru Forester and have space.. I can also store a lot of donations and things that people wish to bring in my trunk: Kelliemccreery912@gmail.com

Call to Action
Call Your Reps to Oppose Withdrawl from NATO
Trump has spent years criticizing the North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO), and as president he has repeatedly floated the idea of U.S. withdrawl. In recent months, Trump’s anger over allies who refused to join his war with Iran has led him to carry out petty public feuds with European leaders and muse about cutting U.S. forces in Europe. He also used the summit to reaffirm his desire to take control of Greenland, again suggesting that the U.S. could pull all of its troops out of Europe if NATO “wouldn’t go along with it.”
As Trump continues to sow discord and undermine U.S. commitment to NATO, Congress must use its power to preserve this important alliance, especially when unified support remains critical for Ukraine and broader European security.
Hi, my name is ______ and I’m a constituent from _____.
I’m calling to urge (your rep.) to push back on Trump’s threats against NATO and Greenland. The NATO Alliance is essential for our national security, and Congress must hold this administration accountable for any attempt to weaken or withdraw from this crucial alliance.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello SJNOWIndivisibles,
1.Anyone who is interested in buying a SJNOWIndivisible T shirt or anything else from our personalized webstore, must tell me now.
2. Post Election Party- Nov 4
We're going to have plenty to celebrate and I want to do a huge bash, but I absolutely cannot do it unless I get a lot of volunteers to help.
Think about what you think you can do. I'm going to have lots of committees.
Set up / Take down and clean up / Food, drink, alcohol / Music
Speeches / Paper products, table cloths, table rental, etc., / Decorations
RSVP list.
I would need 3-4 people to volunteer for each aspect with one person being the main contact person.
I will not do this unless everyone is willing to help. I got completely overwhelmed planning the Townhall in February 2017. I'm not going to do that again. I've learned how to delegate. I'm going to discuss this at the July 13 meeting and then send out sign-up sheets. Again, I think it would be a blast, but it will require a lot of people to volunteer. It's really up to all of you.
If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
Call to Action:
Take Action for the ERA NOW!
Join other supporters and sign the National ERA petition @ https://www.sign4era.org/ demanding that Congress take action to recognize the ERA as the 28th Amendment.

Hello SJNOWIndivisibles,
1. Call To Action
Support Congressional Redistricting in New Jersey
There was once broad support for the creation of a bipartisan New Jersey redistricting commission to provide a fair and independent process. However, fair government only works when all sides respect the same democratic principles. Across the nation, increasingly aggressive partisan gerrymandering efforts threaten equal representation and undermine public confidence in our electoral system.
NJ voters have the opportunity to tell their state legislators and Gov. Sherrill to amend the State Constitution and suspend the current New Jersey Redistricting Commission, which is not scheduled to convene until 2030. Placing this issue on the ballot will allow the people of New Jersey to decide whether congressional districts should be redrawn in time for the 2028 elections.
Please contact your representatives about this issue.
Senator Cory Booker 202-224-3224 856-338-8922
Senator Andy Kim 202-224-4744 856-757-5353
Representative Herb Conaway 202-225-4765 609-438-6290
Representative Donald Norcross 202-225-6501 856-427-7000
Governor Mikie Sherrill 609-292-6000
Hi, my name is ______ and I’m a constituent from _________.
I am calling to ask ________ to support efforts to amend the State Constitution and suspend the current New Jersey Redistricting Commission. The legislature must act now to place this issue on the ballot so the people of New Jersey can decide if congressional districts should be redrawn in time for the 2028 elections.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
If leaving voicemail: Please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.
2. Are you interested in doing Voter Registration at colleges (and possibly high schools) for the midterms? If so, we have 3 Voter Registration Training sessions scheduled at the Burlington County Board of Elections, 301 Harper Drive, Moorestown.
July 28, July 29 and August 3- all at 10:00am.
The trainings are an hour to an hour and a half. They are not required. You can sign up for Voter Registration without any experience but the training will ensure you are comfortable.
If you do end of signing up for a Voter Registration Drive and have never done it before, please shoot me an email so we make sure there are experienced people with you. We don’t want 3 newbies on a shift.

2. WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE QUEER RALLY FOR LGBQTIA+ AND ALLIES!
This week, Trump-installed sycophants to legislate transgender people and the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community out of existence and push our youth further into the shadows, causing intentional and unnecessary harm to their families and communities. In a 6-3 decision, the justices have further greenlit discrimination of not just transgender youth but all LGBTQIA+ people and it empowers states across the country to pass legislation targeting transgender youth and the LGBTQIA+ community at large.
Cooper River Indivisible is hosting a rally in support of the LGBTQIA+ community this Sunday, July 5, from 10:00 am - noon. Please bring signs, flags, clothing, or anything else you may need to demonstrate your solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community. This demonstration is welcome to all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies.

Hello SJNOWIndivisibles,
1. SCOTUS just ruled that states may bar transgender girls and women from playing on school sports teams that match their gender identity: The decision in West Virginia v. B.P.J. will have far-reaching, dangerous consequences for trans youth across the U.S. Studies show anti-trans politics severely harm LGBTQ+ youth well-being and spike suicide attempts.
As Indivisible members and allies, you can take action right now:
Connect with a local PFLAG chapter for support and advocacy networks here
Donate to groups like The Campaign for Southern Equality’s Trans Youth Project or Advocates for Trans Equality
Demand congressional action by organizing a local district office visit.
2. Defend Disability Rights Against DOJ's Attack
For nearly 27 years, the Supreme Court’s landmark 1999 decision in Olmstead v. L.C. has protected Americans with disabilities from being forced into institutional care and nursing homes against their will, affirming their right to live independently in their own communities. Last week, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly released a memo undermining that decision and arguing that Olmstead and related disability rights laws actually contribute to homelessness. Legal experts say the claim is not supported by the facts or by virtually any court, and the DOJ’s own memo acknowledged that their interpretation is “out of step” with legal consensus.
While the memo itself does not change the law, it signals a dangerous shift in how the Trump administration intends to treat disability rights protections. Following its release, HHS quietly took down its webpage on Olmstead and community living. Without federal enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—the laws that underpin Olmstead—states will no longer face consequences for institutionalizing disabled people against their will. This could allow states to effectively re-segregate people with disabilities, reversing decades of progress toward community integration. Combined with the administration’s sweeping Medicaid cuts, which are eliminating home and community-based services that allow disabled people to live independently, this could force millions of Americans back into the kind of institutional settings that Olmstead was designed to end.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) has introduced a resolution calling on the Trump administration to rescind the DOJ memo, reaffirm the protections of Olmstead, and reverse Medicaid cuts that are pushing disabled Americans toward institutionalization. Call your representatives in Congress to support this resolution, and urge your Governor to maintain full enforcement of the ADA and Rehabilitation Act in your state.
Sample Script for Congress:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from ________.
I’m calling to ask ________ to stand up for disability rights and support a resolution to reaffirm the promise of the Olmstead Supreme Court ruling. Millions of Americans depend on those protections to live independently in their communities, and Congress shouldn't allow the Trump administration to reverse nearly three decades of progress.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sample Script for Governor
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from ______.
I'm calling to urge Governor Sherrill to maintain full enforcement of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and protect the rights of disabled residents in our state. Millions of Americans depend on those protections to live independently in their communities, and the state shouldn't allow the Trump administration to reverse nearly three decades of progress.
