Indivisible Action: Immigrant Justice Summer Call 8/20
When an ICE surge hits, community support floods in from every direction. Without a system to direct it, that energy scatters. This call trains you on how to build a link tree that functions as your community's entry point into the immigrant-led response, channeling new people, information, and training and mutual resources directly to where they're needed on the ground.
On this one-hour national training call, you will:
Learn what the funnel model looks like in practice: how your group routes community support to the organizations leading the response without creating a parallel structure.
Get trained on how to build a link tree that captures what people need to plug in, including messaging guidance, mutual aid resources, direct support campaigns for people impacted, and training opportunities for people who want to get involved.
Hear directly from a group leader who has used this model in a real surge scenario, sharing what they put on their link tree, how they vetted it, and how they kept it current.
You'll leave with the knowledge and a concrete tool to set up your own link tree and put it in your community's hands. This is the fourth call in the five-part Immigrant Justice Summer training series, open to all Indivisible members.

Indivisible Action: Tell Yale: Don’t Cave to Trump
The Trump administration is weaponizing the Department of Justice to push a far-right agenda on college campuses, accusing Yale University of illegal preferential treatment in Black and Hispanic admissions. Rather than defending campus diversity and academic freedom against this politicized attack, Yale University President Maurie McInnis is caving to pressure and negotiating a settlement—even offering two agreements before any concrete demands were made.
Complying in advance threatens free speech, diversity, and academic integrity for students and faculty alike. We must demand that university leadership stand up and fight back instead of surrendering.
👉 Sign the petition today to tell President McInnis: Don’t cave to Trump.
