ICA Partner Action: Speak Out on Northwestern’s Capitulation
Northwestern University has reached an agreement with the Trump administration that restores $700 million in federal funding — but only after giving up key elements of its academic independence, campus governance, and DEI and student life protections. Many alumni and Illinois leaders have condemned this move as a dangerous precedent for higher education.
Community members and alumni are being asked to speak up and let Northwestern leadership know this compromise goes too far and undermines the university’s values.
👉 Call or email Northwestern leadership to share your concerns:
Interim President Henry Bienen: (847) 491-7456, nupresident@northwestern.edu
Provost Kathleen Hagerty: (847) 491-5117, officeoftheprovost@northwestern.edu
Board Secretary Julie Allen: (847) 491-4335, nuboardsecretary@northwestern.edu

Indivisible Action: It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside
On November 9, Chuck Schumer surrendered in the fight for affordable healthcare, supplying Republicans the votes necessary to advance a budget that will cause premiums to double and triple for millions of Americans.
This was not a capitulation by the entire Democratic Caucus. But the betrayal extends beyond the eight Democrats who voted yes. The fact that the group was comprised entirely of Senators who are retiring or who won’t face primaries for several years points to these Dems giving cover to a larger faction eager to throw in the towel.
And despite his “no” vote, the entire political world knows this is a direct result of Chuck Schumer’s leadership.
Schumer’s second massive capitulation to the Trump regime has shown Trump that he can continue to plow forward with his authoritarian agenda without meaningful opposition from Congress. It’s shown him that inflicting pain on Americans helps him achieve his agenda.
And it’s shown Americans intent on resisting Trumpism that we desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.
👉 Email to your Democratic senators to demand that they publicly call on Senator Schumer to resign as Senate Minority Leader.
