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.
March 29, 2026
Thanks to everyone who helped make yesterday the largest single-day protest in US history! No Kings offers visible proof that our resistance movement continues to grow in NYC and across the country. These mass mobilizations are made possible by the millions of grassroots volunteers like you who are stepping up to organize together and show up for one another.
The fight against tyranny, war, and mass deportation continues to be waged every day through countless, less visible acts of resistance. Every conversation with a voter, every phone call to an elected, every strategically targeted protest, and every basic act of solidarity with our neighbors builds the road to democracy, peace, and liberation. Here are some ways we can take action this week to build on our progress so we can get there together.
Your Top 3 actions for this week
🌎 Tell Hochul: Don't Trump Our Climate Law! This Monday, March 30 at 11:30am in Midtown. Gov. Hochul is trying to roll back the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which sets targets for emissions reductions and the transition to renewable energy. She claims to fight for families, but instead is torching our children's futures to appease her Big Tech and fossil fuel donors. She claims changing the law is about affordability, but renewables are cheaper, safer, healthier, and more reliable than fossil fuels. She claims she's fighting Trump, but just like he does, she’s chosen fossil fuel polluters over our kids. On March 30, join parents, caregivers, and grandparents at Hochul’s Manhattan office (919 3rd Avenue) to call out her lies and take a stand for all our children. This is an adult-oriented action and kids are welcome. RSVP for the protest here. You can also email your NYS electeds about this issue using the one-click tool from NY Renews here.
🚪 Canvass for Eon Huntley and Jabari Brisport on Saturday, April 4 at 12pm in Bed-Stuy. Join the Big Spring Canvass at Herbert Von King Park for two INBK endorsees at once! We'll be talking with voters about Eon and Jabari's shared platform of increased tenant protections, taxing the rich, keeping ICE out of NYC, and funding universal childcare so families can actually afford to stay in this city. No experience is needed – all of our canvasses begin with a training. And you’ll always have the option to pair up, so bring a friend – or make a new one! RSVP here.
☎️ Tell your NYS electeds to stand up for immigrant New Yorkers. Now is the time for every New Yorker who opposes collusion with ICE’s mass deportation schemes to be as loud as possible in demanding that our NYS electeds pass New York for All. This is our #1 most important legislative priority this year and this is the moment to advocate for it. Call Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins (518-455-2585), Speaker Heastie (518-455-4911), and your own NYS Senator and Assembly Member (you can find their phone numbers here). If you’re short on time, you can also use NYCLU’s one-click tool to email your NYS electeds.
Script: Hi, my name is… and I’m a voter living in [your neighborhood and zip code]. I’m calling to urge you to do everything you can to pass New York for All (S.2235/A.3506) in its entirety. With ICE's escalating violence against our communities, New Yorkers cannot wait any longer for legislative action that meets this moment. Will the [SENATOR/ASSEMBLY MEMBER] do everything in their power to pass New York for All -- with all the protections in the bill, not a watered-down version?
Upcoming Events
Rally to Tell Hochul: Stop siding with Epstein billionaires and start taxing the rich! Tuesday, March 31 at 12pm on the Upper East Side. Join Our Time, Citizen Action, and more allies for a rally calling on Governor Hochul to stop protecting her billionaire Epstein-list donors like John A. Catsimatidis and to start standing with everyday New Yorkers. While working families struggle with rising costs, billionaire donors continue to have outsized influence over our politics and tax policies. It’s time to tax the ultra-wealthy and make New York work for everyone. RSVP here.
Dignity Not Detention Phone Zap: Every Tuesday at 1pm on Zoom. The Dignity Not Detention Act would end NY’s support for immigrant detention. Join our coalition partners in pushing constituent phone calls to NYS legislators about the need to pass the bill now so that NY doesn’t run or profit off of the mass detention of our neighbors. RSVP here.
Weekly Vigil for Democracy at Brooklyn’s ICE Jail: Tuesday, March 31 and every Tuesday at 6pm in Sunset Park. Join INBK and our fellow organizers at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Bay Ridge for our weekly 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 to stay updated. See our full vigil list and make a plan to bring folks with you to one of these events.
What’s Next After No Kings 3? Tuesday, March 31 at 8pm on Zoom. On March 28, millions of us made it clear: we don't do kings in America. Our nonviolent movement is only growing. At our March 31 Mass Call, you'll hear from leaders and fellow local activists to celebrate this historic mobilization and dig into what comes next. Join us here.
Knock Doors with Brad Lander for Congress: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 5:45pm throughout central Brooklyn. Talk with your neighbors about why you're supporting Brad for Congress! Canvassing shifts are available in Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Gowanus, and Prospect Heights. Don't worry if you've never done a canvassing shift before, there will be training and Q&A before the shift starts! (There are also daytime shifts over the weekend, if that works better for you.) RSVP here.
Indivisible Brooklyn’s April General Meeting: Wednesday, April 8 at 7pm in Park Slope. Join us in person to find your organizing home! Come for an introduction to Indivisible Brooklyn’s work, updates from each of our teams, and to start planning for the next big day of action on May Day, And, as always, we'll connect and be in community together as we struggle for a safer present and a path to a progressive democratic future. RSVP here.
More Ways to Resist this week
Tell Congress: Don’t let DHS expand detention facilities! Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, ICE and Border Patrol can fund their terror for years to come. We have already seen how dangerous this is in communities across the country. Now the regime wants to use this money for a massive expansion in detention facilities across the country. DHS has been buying up properties and converting warehouses into camps that will hold human beings, often in dangerous and horrifying conditions. We have a chance to stop this expansion by speaking up and demanding our elected officials speak up too. This is already working, and even Republicans are starting to criticize the warehouses. Let's keep up the pressure! Use Indivisible’s tool to email Congress and Indivisible’s call script to call your Senators and Member of Congress.
Tell Congress: No funding for Trump’s illegal war with Iran! The Trump regime has requested $200 billion in supplemental funding to pay for the illegal war they started against Iran. Members of Congress must use everything in their toolbox to stop this war: forcing repeated votes on a War Powers Resolution, rejecting these funding requests, compelling testimony and holding the war criminals in this administration accountable. We need to let Congress know we won’t accept anything less. Use Indivisible’s toolkit to call your Senators and Member of Congress or send them an email.
Tell NYS electeds: Don’t cut services – tax the rich! The NYS budget is due on April 1 and Gov. Hochul, Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, and Speaker Heastie are currently negotiating what’s in and what’s out behind closed doors. We need them to protect New Yorkers’ access to make up for MAGA cuts to essential services like healthcare, childcare, housing, and transit. And they could do it by taxing the richest New Yorkers. Call Hochul (212-681-4580), Stewart-Cousins (518-455-2585), and Heastie (518-455-4911) or send them an email to tell them to invest in our New York.
Script: I’m calling about the budget negotiations and the need to prevent cuts to healthcare, childcare, housing, and transit. And I'm urging you to support raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy and big corporations so we can keep these essential services funded. New Yorkers are already paying more and getting less -- we can’t afford MAGA cuts that will make the affordability crisis even worse. So please stop asking working people to absorb all these cuts. We need New York to stand strong and ensure that the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. Will you make sure this budget raises taxes on the rich and funds our communities?
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.
Stand with the families of ICE detainees. We recently launched standwithsouthbrooklyn.org, which includes GoFundMes for all of the families of ICE detainees we are currently raising funds for. 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. And please give to our South Brooklyn Legal Support Fund, which will be used for commissary and legal support. We are partnering with Mixteca, a trusted local nonprofit in Sunset Park to collect these funds. To donate, just add “South BK Legal Support” as a comment.
In solidarity,
The INBK crew
