Resistance Lab Training
The Resistance Lab is a series of trainings that are developed specifically for this moment. In this first lab, we look at how non-violent movements around the world have responded to leaders who seize power in authoritarian ways and the most effective tools and tactics to utilize in these moments. We offer frameworks to understand this moment at home, and incorporate interactive conversation with others to help create community and build our resistance movement.
The Resistance Lab was developed with experts who have researched and studied democratic backsliding around the world as well as in the United States and the non-violent movements that have emerged to challenge those authoritarian leaders. We also draw from many toolkits for effective tactics and frameworks as well as from Pramila’s own background leading successful organizing movements for economic and social justice for two decades.
Our goals are to help people understand how democracies fall and the most effective resistance movements that have challenged authoritarians and dictators; to turn anger, fear and frustration into action in the short-term while also preparing for a coordinated resistance movement for the longer term; and to build community across the country that can help grow our movement. At the end of the day, we want to get people strike-ready and street-ready and make sure we protect our people, our freedoms and our democracy.

VIRTUAL EVENT

Deep Canvassing Training - Canvassing with Empathy
INDIVISIBLE OREGON and INDIVISIBLE CEDAR MILL are partnering with SWING LEFT to conduct comprehensive and experiential trainings in “Deep Canvassing” or “Canvassing with Empathy”. The training will be followed by an actual canvass with voters in Oregon’s Congressional District 5. Our goal is to encourage voters to tell us what issues are most important to them. This information is critical in helping Members of Congress better understand their constituents’ most important concerns as they are making policy decisions in Washington D.C. Additionally, this data will help 2026 electoral candidates in swing districts shape campaign messages that address voters in more meaningful and effective ways.
Deep canvassing is a method of voter outreach that involves having authentic, empathic conversations with individuals about how they want government to serve them. Unlike traditional canvassing, which uses a script designed to persuade voters to support a candidate or cause, deep canvassing fosters a more in-depth and genuine way of connecting with voters. The ultimate goal is to build a sincere relationship with voters by nonjudgmentally understanding their values, beliefs, and experiences rather than just gathering data through short conversations.
This is a 2-hour training, followed by one hour of canvassing. An additional hour is allowed for downloading “turfs”, explaining the “MiniVAN” app, driving to the canvassing locations and then returning to debrief. Afterward, trainees will be able to canvass on their own, or with a buddy, as often as they choose. Canvassing events will be scheduled regularly throughout June – November, 2025.

Keep Virginia Blue! Phone Bank with Indivisible Oregon
Let’s keep Virginia blue!
Join Indivisible Oregon’s Virtual Phonebank every Wednesday afternoon from 3-5pm PT.
Meet Our Candidate
Nadarius Clark
A community activist, organizer, and Delegate in the VA House, representing the 84th district. A Portsmouth native and Virginia Union University graduate, he was raised in a strong community of faith, and comes from a military family. In 2021, he made history as the youngest Dem and first African American elected to represent his district. As a leader in the VA House, he’s passed legislation to improve the lives of all of his constituents. From taking on the debt collection industry, to fighting for public school funding, Delegate Clark has, and always will, put the working families of Hampton Roads first.
Virginia is having a general election in 2025, and keeping the majority in the House of Delegates is crucial.
After flipping the Virginia House of Delegates in 2023 by only 975 votes, we must help protect the Democratic majority to continue safeguarding democracy, especially with the growing threats coming from the federal government. Keeping the Dem majority ensures that Virginia remains a firewall against right-wing extremism and a leader in expanding economic opportunity, protecting freedoms, and defending democracy. A strong performance in Virginia this year will not only protect and expand the rights of Virginians, but also generate national momentum, inspiring Democratic successes in the 2026 midterms.
Why this race:
Democrats hold the majority in the Virginia House of Delegates by a single seat—and this seat is critical to maintaining their power. Lily Franklin is running again in 2025 after narrowly losing the 2023 election for Virginia’s 41st House District by just 183 votes. Flipping this seat is crucial for Democrats to strengthen their majority in the House of Delegates and continue advancing progressive policies in Virginia.
Why phonebank:
The data proves it: phonebanking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters, speak with undecided voters, and recruit local volunteers. We also help improve our candidate’s data!
Come one, come all:
No experience necessary. Each Zoom phonebank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). Our veteran phonebank leaders will help you get comfortable, increase your effectiveness, and make sure you have a great experience.

Hold Cliff Bentz Accountable in The Dalles
As you may have heard by now, our absentee Representative Cliff Bentz will be speaking at The Dalles Rotary Club's meeting this Wednesday, August 20, at noon. He will also be taking tour of a watershed project in The Dalles with the mayor. What Mr Bentz will NOT be doing is holding a public town hall to hear from his constituents.
We need everyone who is available to show up and let Cowardly Cliff know we're paying attention by partipating in one of three groups described below. Please know that we have listened to your suggestions and we have spoken to Rotary Club members in considering how to respond to Cliff's effort to sneak into our city, and then get a nice glowing article in the newspaper afterwards about his "recent visit to Wasco County." Let's change the narrative to something like, "On a recent visit to The Dalles, Cliff Bentz was met with frustrated constituents who are upset that he refuses to hold a public town hall to address their concerns."
Here's how you can help, and please email us to let us know if you can be there and which group you prefer to be a part of. This will help us coordinate the three groups.
Group 1 - Protesting with signs on the sidewalks in front of Spooky's, Bi-Mart, and west of Hostetler along 6th St. We know there is construction going on in front of Spooky's and we are monitoring the progress and checking with the construction crew on what will be happening Wednesday at noon. Currently, the sidewalks in front of Bi-Mart and to the east are finished and open, so if Bentz comes in from the east, he'll see us there. If he comes in from the West, we'll have people on the sidewalk west of Hostetler along W 6th St. We encourage signs targeting Bentz specifically (Bentz Betrayed Us, Bentz is Hiding from his Constituents, Bentz Chose Billionaires over Constituents, Bentz is Wasting Taxpayer Dollars on Luxury Travel, Hold a Town Hall, etc.), but any of your other protests signs will also do. Meet up on the sidewalk in front of Bi-Mart at 11:30 AM on Wednesday.
Group 2 - Attend the Rotary meeting and be prepared to make a statement about how Bentz's votes/actions are impacting us. We have been told by Rotary member Dennis Morgan that Rotary meetings are open to the public, but they ask that we not turn this into a raucous town hall. So, we're looking for 6-8 people willing to politley make a pointed statement about how Bentz's actions and inaction are impacting his constituents. Please reply to this email if you'd like to be a part of this group. We'll have a meeting (for those who can maket it) at Debi's house at 3:30 PM on Tuesday August 19 to coordinate topics and help each other draft good statements / questions. Statements are often better than questions as we want him to hear from us, rather than giving him more opportunity to simply spew the Trump Talking Points. Email debiferrer@gmail.com if you need directions to Debi's house. Please keep in mind that we will be guests of the Rotary Club in the Wednesday meeting, so we are asking that people who plan to attend be prepared to be polite, even if it's hard; listen quietly, even when you know Bentz is lying. Write down what he says and we'll use it later against him. Plan to arrive at Spooky's by 11:30 on Wednesday if you want to order food or a beverage, or by 11:45 if you just plan to attend the meeting.
Group 3 - Enjoy Lunch at Spooky's with a chance to speak to Bentz briefly on his way in or out of the meeting. We'd really like to have some people inside Spooky's playing the role of ordinary citizen out for lunch, who just happens to recognize their congressman as he comes in and feels compelled to greet him with something like, "Hello Mr Bentz, we didn't know you were going to be in town. We'd sure appreciate if you'd hold a town hall in Wasco County soon as we have many concerns, and you've only held one town hall here in your 4 1/2 years in office." As mad as you may feel, we ask that folks who choose this option, approach Bentz with politeness, not out of respect for him, but because we don't want to be the ones getting the bad publicity. Don't bring any signs inside Spooky's. We need any reporting that happens to be bad publicity for Bentz! We can follow up our interactions with a Letter to the Editor about seeing Bentz in The Dalles for a private meeting with a few individuals and the mayor, but with no opportunity for his constituents to ask questions and express their concerns. We don't know if Cliff will come in the front door - he may be ushered in the back door of the meeting room. But if any of you are willing, it would be really nice to have a few "greeters" waiting in the main dining room in case he comes that way. You should plan to be there by 11:30 to get a table in the front area.
Again, if you possibly can participate in any of these three ways, please email us at protectoregonsprogress@gmail.com with your name and what group you can participate with, or if you have questions.

Oregon Nurses’ Association & Rep. Janelle Bynum’s Town Hall in Madras
We learned last week that District 2 Representative Cliff Bentz LOVES to travel in style on the taxpayers' dime, just not in his own district to hear from his constituents. The month of August is a congressional recess, a time when Members of Congress are supposed to be in their home districts meeting with their constitents and hosting public events. But Cliff Bentz has none scheduled on his website and a call to all three of his offices today provided no information about the possibility of any town halls.
The Oregon Nurses' Association (ONA) invited Rep Bentz to a Town Hall in Madras this Thursday August 14 at 6 PM to discuss Medicaid Cuts and Hospital Closures in rural Oregon, but (unsurprisingly) he has not accepted the invitation. So they've also invited District 5 Representative Janelle Bynum, and she said YES! The event will be at the Madras Performing Arts Center. This is a really important opportunity to hold Bentz accountable for refusing to face his constituents after voting for these and many other cuts. Rep Bynum is the first of our Democratic Members of Congress to hold a town hall in Bentz's district but we are asking the others to hold them, too.
If you live anywhere near Madras, even if you don't live in District 2, please try to attend this event to support Rep Bynum for showing up when Cliff Bentz won't, as well as to learn about how severely the Big Bad Budget Bill is going to impact healthcare in rural Oregon. And share this information with others. Bentz has betrayed his constituents. Let's all help hold him accountable!

Take on the Billionaires: Labor Day 2025
The billionaires are waging a war on working people—and on May Day, international workers’ day, hundreds of thousands of us stood together and stood strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over free market politics. This Labor Day we are deepening and strengthening our labor & community coalitions and continuing to build our power and capacity to stand up and fight back.

One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us — not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.
That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising — a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us — and lead.
Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump.
Session 1: The Moment & Your Mission - July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action.
Session 2: How to Make it Happen - July 30 This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy, but how you can train others and get them on board. You'll host your first community resistance gathering after this session.
Session 3: What Now? - August 13 You'll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward.
Sign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

Meet Our Candidates
Lily Franklin
A former high school math teacher and Chief of Staff for VA Delegate Sam Rasoul, Lily Franklin has long been a dedicated advocate for affordable housing, accessible childcare, and quality education. Help us elect Democratic challenger Lily Franklin to defend and expand our one seat majority in the Virginia House of Delegates!
Nadarius Clark
A community activist, organizer, and Delegate in the VA House, representing the 84th district. A Portsmouth native and Virginia Union University graduate, he was raised in a strong community of faith, and comes from a military family. In 2021, he made history as the youngest Dem and first African American elected to represent his district. As a leader in the VA House, he’s passed legislation to improve the lives of all of his constituents. From taking on the debt collection industry, to fighting for public school funding, Delegate Clark has, and always will, put the working families of Hampton Roads first.
Virginia is having a general election in 2025, and keeping the majority in the House of Delegates is crucial.
After flipping the Virginia House of Delegates in 2023 by only 975 votes, we must help protect the Democratic majority to continue safeguarding democracy, especially with the growing threats coming from the federal government. Keeping the Dem majority ensures that Virginia remains a firewall against right-wing extremism and a leader in expanding economic opportunity, protecting freedoms, and defending democracy. A strong performance in Virginia this year will not only protect and expand the rights of Virginians, but also generate national momentum, inspiring Democratic successes in the 2026 midterms.
Why this race:
Democrats hold the majority in the Virginia House of Delegates by a single seat—and this seat is critical to maintaining their power. Lily Franklin is running again in 2025 after narrowly losing the 2023 election for Virginia’s 41st House District by just 183 votes. Flipping this seat is crucial for Democrats to strengthen their majority in the House of Delegates and continue advancing progressive policies in Virginia.
Why phonebank:
The data proves it: phonebanking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters, speak with undecided voters, and recruit local volunteers. We also help improve our candidate’s data!
Come one, come all:
No experience necessary. Each Zoom phonebank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). Our veteran phonebank leaders will help you get comfortable, increase your effectiveness, and make sure you have a great experience.

Indivisible Summer Picnic

We refuse to give the current regime the power to darken our spirits. Instead, we choose to create joy for one another – to reclaim our humanity, to harness its powerful energy, and to renew ourselves for the work ahead. What’s more joyful than food, music and conversation with friends among the glorious Portland trees?
Join us August 9th!
