[sojoaction@sojo.net] on Wed., Feb. 18 at noon hopes you will join a public
vigil in Lafayette Park on Ash Wednesday. This is a Call to Christians in a
Crisis of Faith and Democracy. In a moment when cruelty is being normalized,

different witness—prayerful, truthful, and courageous. Register at https://act.sojo.net/page/94227/survey/1?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworksSJN&utm_campaign=sojoaction&utm_content=FY26.02.11+Coalition+Event+-+A+Call+to+Action+-+Vigil+on+the+Hill+0348145019

50] –What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including Feb. 19, 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

Stand 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.
