Lemonada.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Leah.

At I'm Ezra, and you are joining, what's the plan?

If you're joining this, you're part of a movement to stop fascism in America via

massive, broad-based people-based power organizing. Now, we're in the middle of Leah,

what do we call this, a would-be authoritarian takeover, an authoritarian breakthrough moment,

and there are a lot of people will tell you how horrible things are. You can find that anywhere

on the internet. They happen to be right. But we're trying to do something different here. We're trying to acknowledge that and work through it in real time, figuring out

the best strategies that us, we together collectively, can use and implement for resisting MAGA

and fight back. We do this together with you, the people who are organizing, getting active,

and working in your community, or maybe who are looking for that community. Democracy is not a spectator sport. If we want to beat these fascist clowns, we all have to get off the field. There is no way out of this mess that does not require millions of us to get involved, stand up, and do our part. And by the way, we are married. We have been running indivisible national together since we started it after Trump's first election. We bring our experience as former congressional staffers and do-gooder advocates to this work, but we are not the leaders of the individual movement. There are thousands of local indivisible groups all over the country, and they are led and operated by you, the folks who are listening.

We got a great discussion today. Ezra is going to go over

new members of the movement. He is going to talk about the current state of play in Congress on DHS

funding, and we are joined by fan, favorite, and social movement expert extraordinaire,

Erica Chenoweth, who will ground us and guide us, and then we're all

going to go to your live questions. All right, Ezra, who do we have this week?

We have a lot of people this week. Every week I'm like, wow, a lot of people join. That's probably

going to go down because that's how social movements normally work. And yet, so we have too many new

indivisible groups for me to list all of them. We organized by local groups, Leah, that's what we do. This is not about you or me or any individual one of us. We have a theory about how political power works if it's organized locally. So there are more than 2,500 local indivisible groups all over the country now. Those are led by people who just raised their hand and said, huh, shit is fucked up. I guess I'm going to have to organize something. And that's how these indivisible groups get joined together. And that's how they build political power, wield political power and change what's politically possible in this country. So I'm just going to, I'm going to celebrate 10 of them. And if you're here on the Zoom, tell us with your emojis and with your messages in the chat, celebrate these new

folks. Roll out the red carpet for them because we need new people here. That's how we win.
