Protest Rallies
”Protests have sprouted up on so many Main Streets. I love it! At first I felt strongly that we should be gathering in fewer places and making our marches larger, but I’ve come to feel that the more plentiful pop-up gatherings in small towns and localities are actually better. Beverly Hills, for example, has become a pretty Trumpy place. Our presence there was not a foregone conclusion. It mattered. It said “we’re here and we’re not afraid.” - Jessica Craven, author of “Chop Wood, Carry Water.”
OUR APPROACH TO PROTEST EVENTS AT INDIMARIN
Protest events are one important aspect of a robust resistance to the Trump Administration. They are high-profile events and often draw new people and energy to the movement.
Philosophically, we believe that:
Continual, small protests popping up in many locations are positive and a key tactic for the opposition movement. We will do our utmost to support and share information on the vibrant and organic protests which are a key component of the Resistance. These protests are being organized by a range of groups and also by individuals.
Large scale protests, such as Marin’s 4/5 “Hands Off” event, require a very large commitment of both human and financial resources. In the future, we will focus our limited resources on supporting and promoting the smaller scale protests happening organically.
In addition to protests, there are many actions we should all be taking on a daily/weekly basis to fight back against the Trump Administration’s illegal, authoritarian attempt to takeover America. These actions are the primary focus of Indivisible Marin.
Please read through all of the pages under the “Fight” section of our website for ideas of ways to engage in the Resistance on a daily and weekly basis. These regular actions are very important to fuel the resistance and build toward success in the midterms.

MARIN-BASED PROTESTS
Marin Action for Protests is a loosely organized and evolving coalition of individuals and local groups mobilizing residents who wish to raise their voices against the Trump/Musk coup and Republican tax scam. The coalition is comprised of numerous individual organizers and local groups including Indivisible Sausalito, Swing Left Marin, NoMusk.org and Solidarity Sundays. With some exceptions, the named groups are not formal sponsors of the various protests. Indivisible Marin is supporting these protest actions by sharing the events with our members and thereby helping increase turnout.
UPCOMING MULTI-LOCATION EVENTS LED BY VARIOUS GROUPS
