3] –What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including March 5, from 3 to 4 PM ET. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what the plan is. The event will continue through Dec. 17, 2026. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/874938/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=_20251215

RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/878084/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendationsStand with your neighbors for democracy, for justice, and for an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires. Stand for science, the rule of law, a working government, kindness and common decency. It's going to be dark and cold at 5:00, so dress warmly and maybe bring a book light to illuminate your protest sign. The event will be cancelled if the temperatures are below freezing, or when it rains, sleets, or snows. This event will continue through March 26.

9] – Kathy Boylan [kathyboylan5@gmail.com] is inviting you on Fri., March 6 at 7:30 PM at the Dorothy Day House, 503 Rock Creek Church Road NW, WDC 20010 for the March Clarification of Thought: 'Federal Income Taxes; Should We Pay Them?' by Harold A. ("H.A.") Penner, a long-time conscientious objector and war tax resister. He currently convenes the 1040 for Peace War Tax Resistance Group (https://1040forpeace.org/).
March's gathering will explore the question of conscience and taxation. While federal income taxes are required by law, many people of faith wrestle with whether paying taxes that fund war, militarism, and authoritarianism is compatible with the Gospel call to love our neighbors and even our enemies.
