We're just weeks into Trump's second presidency, and already he and his minions have made drastic changes in the federal government that violate the Constitution, multiple laws, and may be defying the courts. Yes, dozens of lawsuits have been filed but they may be too late and may not be enforceable. The damage may be permanent.
In addition, the richest man in the world, billionaire Elon Musk - who holds no elected or congressionally approved office - has seized control of key federal systems and is using them to promote the "broligarch" agenda.
Project 2025's Blueprint for Trump II is well on its way to full implementation and there's more to come. A barrage of "Executive Orders," most of which violate the law, many of which are barely coherent, and some of which still aren't public, flooded the executive branch on Day One and continues.
There are reasons to be hopeful.
As Josh Marshall has written, given that Republicans will control the entire apparatus of federal government until 2026 at least, "this is fundamentally a battle over public opinion." Lower Cape Indivisible is well equipped for this battle, both for the present day and in the all-important lead up to the 2026 midterms.

In the years since its founding, LCI has come to focus a good part of its energy on electoral politics - elections. Lower Cape Indivisible was founded in response to an election - the 2016 election of Donald Trump - so the electoral focus feels natural. It's also the case that the Cape hosts a number of organizations that are effective promoters of LCI's values - Cape Cod Climate Change, Cape Downwinders, Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, and so on - that concentrate on various strategies and particular goals. LCI's strategies to promote its vision and values in the political arena have grown to include the following:
Publication of an online newsletter that focuses on national and local developments relevant to promoting our values.
Sponsoring and publicizing rallies, marches, and other public actions that support issues and candidates aligned with our values.
Organizing Get Out The Vote (GOTV) campaigns through writing postcards to voters urging them to exercise their precious right to vote. LCI is proud to have sent 55,000 postcards and letters to voters encouraging them to register and vote. We foresee many many more in the months to come.
Barring some unforeseen, dramatic development, it's likely that the political scene in general and LCI's efforts in particular will be fairly low-key during this coming summer of 2023. However, we anticipate that energy and activity will ramp up quickly in the Fall as candidates and issues campaigns prepare for the critical 2024 presidential election. Please check our newsletter for an overview of what is happening and consult the relevant section(s) of the website for current activities.
This section is divided into three parts:
Current efforts to Get Out the Vote (GOTV) for candidates around the United States whose election this year will promote LCI values.
A brief summary of how this effort developed and what it has accomplished.
A description of LCI's role in the "Blue Wave" that swept the Cape in the 2022 elections.

Rise Up On November 7
Throughout history & around the world, students have been the vanguard of movements for a more just & inclusive democracy. In this critical moment, students should also play a central role in the anti-authoritarian movement under Trump.
Over the summer, we trained together as students, learned from these movements, and built plans to launch Frontline campaigns across campuses this August-September!
This fall & beyond, we're organizing campaigns across colleges to fight Trump's autocratic attacks on our rights, funding for vital programs, and marginalized communities on campus.

ICE Town Halls Request
Please read the following initiative to Senators Markey & Warren. Activist groups across MA are calling on our senators to hold ICE town halls ASAP.
Would any of your groups want to sign on? If so, please respond directly to: indivisiblefirstmiddlesex@gmail.com
Dear Senator Markey:
We are writing to ask you to convene a series of Commonwealth Town Halls that focus on ICE
activities in Massachusetts.
The Town Halls could bring together elected officials, immigrant rights advocates, clergy, chiefs
of police, legal experts, and other stakeholders, and would be an opportunity for the public to
pose questions and become better informed. Those unable to be present in person could take part
via Zoom thereby reaching the widest possible audience.
We first proposed Town Halls when we wrote to commend you for co-signing the June 11 th letter
to Homeland Security Inspector General Cuffari in response actions by ICE agents across the
Commonwealth. We wholeheartedly agree that ICE's "escalating aggression is not making us
safer."
Since we last contacted you, ICE and Homeland Security agents have employed increasingly
aggressive tactics. The deployment of National Guard units in Los Angeles and Washington D.
C. are evidence of the Administration's tactical escalation, and the unprecedented funding
included in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" for additional agents and detention centers will only
make matters worse.
For this reason, we believe it is important that all persons residing in the Commonwealth,
citizens and non-citizens alike, be informed of the risks that arise from the "increasingly
aggressive and intimidating tactics" employed by ICE agents and the threat they present to the
rule of law.
We strongly urge you to convene Town Hall halls and we would actively assist in promoting
such an event.
Respectfully,

A practical guide to resisting the MAGA agenda. Former congressional staffers reveal best practices for making Congress listen.
Lower Cape Indivisible (LCI) is an organization whose members have elected to participate based on the organization's mission: to mobilize for social, economic and environmental justice; promote universal participation in the democratic process; resist agendas that subvert American democratic values. We are one of more than 6000 Indivisible groups in the U.S. committed to resisting the Republican agenda, as well as holding our state and local leaders accountable for fair and ethical action. Our work is based on the Indivisible Guide, created by former congressional staffers who wanted to demystify political activism, and share what tactics were most effective.
