With so much going on, it’s hard to know what to do or how to do it. Our weekly newsletters gather as much information as we can find and organize it to make taking action as easy and accessible as possible. You don’t have to do ALL the things, but you should do SOMETHING. Our most current edition is below, and you can sign up to receive future newsletters here.

June 28, 2026

June 23, 2026 — primary night, and what a time to celebrate after the polls closed! All of Indivisible Brooklyn’s endorsed candidates won with mandate-making majorities: Jabari Brisport, Eon Huntley, and Brad Lander. Our hard work and our candidates’ victories are a huge boost to the new blue wave rising in New York and across the nation.

Add to that, the Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition’s success means a real chance at reshaping the Brooklyn Democratic party into one that is transparent, participatory and actually works to elect Dems across the borough. One that fights, not folds against authoritarian, corporate power.

All our door-knocking and phone-banking to engage voters and then that last, amazing push to get out every vote shows the power of small “d” democracy when we the people join together, sign on, and get the work done, together.

As the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence draws near, how will you make your mark against MAGA tyranny? Read on and sign up!

Your Top actions for this week

  1. 🏛️ Heads-up for Birthright Citizenship Rapid Response! Foley Square, day of Supreme Court decision. Following the devastating decisions around TPS and asylum-seeking, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the birthright citizenship case (Trump v. Barbara) within days. Make the Road NY, the New York Immigration Coalition, HandsOffNYC, and allies are preparing for a same-day response in Foley Square. If the decision is positive, 1 pm is the scheduled time to gather; if a negative decision, the gathering is scheduled for 6 pm. Watch the news and be prepared to make a massive showing if we need to!

  2. 🕯️ Attend a vigil. As July 4 approaches, we are reflecting on what our country has been, is, and should be. That makes this week a great time to assemble and petition peacefully on behalf of our neighbors abducted by ICE. Join INBK and our fellow organizers at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Bay Ridge for our weekly Tuesday vigil outside the Metropolitan Detention Center (Third Ave. & 29th St.), where 200 of our abducted neighbors have been imprisoned. Let’s stand firm against the inhumane treatment of our neighbors, and call for the release of all ICE detainees. Sing songs of resistance and bring signs to bear witness in solidarity. RSVP here. See our full vigil list and make a plan to bring family, friends, and neighbors with you to one of these events.

  3. ⚽❌🧊 Looking for an impactful way to engage with the World Cup? Hands Off NYC is partnering with Team Wonder, No ICE In The Cup, Our Copa, and the GOALS coalition for Hands Off Our Copa to celebrate diversity during the World Cup. Volunteers are needed! Sign up here to help table and get the word out about how to protect our neighbors.

Upcoming Events

Indivisible Phonebank for Julie Gonzales: Monday, June 29 at 7:30pm on Zoom. Looking to build on our success in last week’s primaries in NY? Join Indivisible the night before the primary in Colorado as we talk with voters about the opportunity to send a real fighter for families and a defender of democracy to the Senate! A short phonebanking training will be included at the beginning of each phonebank, so both first-time dialers and phonebank pros are welcome to join and help get Julie Gonzales elected. RSVP here.

INBK Monthly General Meeting: Wednesday, July 8 at 7 pm in Gowanus. Join us to take action for democracy and be in community with others! At our in-person meeting, we will set forth ways to continue to build progressive power in New York City and fight back against the authoritarian regime. Sign up here.

Good Trouble Lives on Weekend of Action: July 17-19. Recent Supreme Court decisions and attacks on rights at the federal and state level underscore how we are suffering the biggest loss of civil rights in a generation. In remembrance of Congressman John Lewis, join other New Yorkers and communities across the country for a weekend of nonpartisan voter engagement, civic education, and faith-based organizing, under the banner of “Teach! Reach! Preach!” Check out the actions being planned here in NYC, sign up and plan to make some good trouble.

More Ways to Resist this week

Make a public comment on the proposed mail-in ballot takeover by July 2. Under pressure from the White House, the Postal Service is trying to rewrite the rules on who gets to Vote-by-Mail. On June 2, the USPS published a proposed rule that would let the agency decide who can and can’t receive a mail ballot based on if their state agreed to provide the Trump regime with their voter rolls. Make a public comment here by July 2 to oppose this proposed rule!

Push back against AI in NYC public schools! If you weren’t able to attend the rally at City Hall last week, there’s still time to let the mayor and schools chancellor know you support a 2-year AI moratorium by signing this petition.

Make NYC corporations pay what they owe. When NYC faces budget shortfalls, the response has been a rush to cut the services our communities rely on. But there’s another path: the City is owed at least $1.5 billion in unpaid fines and penalties from corporations and bad-actor landlords who have broken the law. The #MakeEmPay campaign is about making sure the City collects what it’s already owed and reinvests that money into our communities. Use the email tool from The People’s Plan NYC to tell the Mayor, Speaker, and your Council Member: New Yorkers are doing our part — it’s time to make them pay.

Demand affordable transit for New Yorkers. The Fair Fares program allows low-income New Yorkers to ride on public transit for free or for a half-priced fare. Expanding the program and eliminating barriers to access would bring affordable transit to more than 2 million New Yorkers! Use this one-click tool from Riders Alliance to email NYC leadership about expanding the Fair Fares program until buses are made free for all.

Tell the City Council to pass the Delivery Protection Act. Big corporations like Amazon use “Last Mile” facilities to get packages from warehouses to your door. These facilities are usually packed into just a few Black and Brown neighborhoods, bringing pollution, traffic violence, and safety risks. And they rely on underpaid, unsafe, unstable jobs subcontracted to fake “third parties” to evade accountability. Help hold big corporations accountable and keep New Yorkers safe by strengthening regulations and improving working conditions at these “Last Mile” facilities by telling the City Council to pass the Delivery Protection Act immediately! Use this one-click tool from ALIGN to email the City Council.

Write to Governor Hochul to sign legislation putting a pause on new data centers in New York. The explosion of data centers is one of the worst affordability and environmental threats facing New York, risking more fossil fuel pollution, strained water resources, and rising utility bills. On June 4, the legislature passed a bill establishing a one-year moratorium on new data centers in New York. Now, the governor must sign this bill to make it law. Use the tool from Food & Water Watch to email Governor Hochul and urge her to stand with the people, not the polluters!

Support the striking detainees at Delaney Hall. These are the first protests that have emerged from within detention centers, and we all have the power and duty to support them. You can learn about detainees’ organizing and demands, donate and share donation links, use Indivisible’s one-click tool to email your congressmembers to amplify strikers’ demands, and reach out on Slack to plan a trip to Delaney Hall.

Sign up for an immigration court watch shift with JFREJ. For the past year, masked ICE agents have been seizing immigrant NYers at mandatory court appointments, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) organizes court watches to help keep our neighbors safer. Get trained to enter public courthouse buildings and provide direct support to our most vulnerable neighbors. JFREJ is also organizing rapid response in neighborhoods and advocating for New York for All and more policies to make New York safer for everyone who lives here. People of all faiths are welcome. Learn more here.

Stand with the families of ICE detainees. After a period of relative quiet, ICE has returned to street abductions across NYC. You can learn about the families we are partnering with in South Brooklyn on standwithsouthbrooklyn.org, which includes GoFundMes. If you are able, giving even just $10 to each of the families at the top of the page would help our neighbors stay housed, cover living expenses, and support their detained loved ones. If you prefer to give to an organization, we recommend MiTlalli or our South Brooklyn Legal Support Fund, used for commissary and legal support.

Support Venezuela in their recovery. Over 1,400 people died in this week’s earthquakes and not enough resources are getting to those who survived. Find lots of ways to help here.

In solidarity,
The INBK crew
