Indivisible Cortland County
Indivisible Cortland County is an independent, grassroots civic group formed by residents of Cortland County, NY, working to protect the integrity of the American democratic process and ensure the well-being of all in our nation. We are NY19 & NY22.
- Indivisible Cortland County is sponsoring a Nonviolent Direct Action (NVDA) training session on Saturday, May 31 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. You can register for this event by sending an email to indivisiblecortlandcounty@gmail.com. There is a limitation on participation, so register today if interested.
- NVDA training, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy, focuses on using peaceful, non-violent methods to create change and address injustice, with an emphasis on active resistance. There is no charge for the training and ample food and drink will be provided.
- Come spend the day with like-minded folks in a safe setting who want to be a force for social change!
- Join us Friday, May 16, from 4:30-5:30 as we protest the “skinny budget” and its devastating impact on our local services. This budget calls for drastic reductions or elimination of vital programs (such as Head Start, Medicaid, SNAP, LIHEAP, and Weatherization) that serve people in Cortland County.
- So, low expectations. Did the American delegation bring their own interpreters or are they relying on the Chinese interpreters? Is that why Felon 47 says they are friendly?
- Clueless tool. Witkoff "broke with long-standing protocol by not employing his own interpreter during three high-level meetings with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, opting instead to rely on translators from the Kremlin, a U.S. official and two Western officials with knowledge of the talks told NBC News."
- SAVE THE DATE! Cortland Courthouse Park on Church Street, 6/14, 10-11 a.m. More to come (including nifty sign ideas) but SEE YOU THERE!

- In 8 days we are doing this protest.
- Start writing those letters to the editor! The Newspaper will now resume publication after it abruptly ceased publication on March 13 as a result of its bankruptcy filing. Its prior publication schedule of Tuesday through Saturday is set to resume on May 17. www.localsyr.com/news/local-n...
- The #TrumpCrimeFamily is operating with the same playbook it used 2017-2020: #Kleptocracy to the max. #Grifters will grift.
- So much for the #TrumpMuskRegime eliminating #FraudWasteAndAbuse!
- These 26 major companies continue to stand up for DEI.
- On Friday, May 16 Indivisible Cortland County will hold a "Hands Off Our Local Services" Rally from 4:30-5:30 in front of Courthouse Park in downtown Cortland. This event is in protest of the "skinny budget" the administration recently unveiled. See more in the comments.
- As always, we will protest peacefully that day with our chants and songs, our signs and most important, our indomitable spirit!
- If enacted, this budget blueprint - which asks Congress to slash non-defense programs by more than $163 billion - will have a devastating impact on local services, including CAPCO and other programs.
- Emily Feiner asked this question and Lawler's response was weak sauce and then he decided to throw her out of the Town Hall rather than give a credible answer.

- Yep. We actually shared her Bluesky post about it.
- Let us just call it short man syndrome.
- You already know some of the information in this guide, but I promise you, some of it will be new to you. Skim it, read it, or save it for later.
- This is the correct light saber color for being in the Resistance.
- Want to know what the Cortland County Legislature, the City of Cortland Common Council, and the Cortland Enlarged School District Board of Education are thinking and doing? Check out and sign up for this new resource from Carol Costell Corbin. Thanks, Carol!
- This is a Save the Date for us and probably everybody, every resisting organization, everywhere. Protesting on F47's birthday with a huge display of American flags and "No Kings" posters is high patriotism. It was Flag Day before F47 and will be long after he is gone. This is our America, not his.
- June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
- Activism is alive and well in Cortland as evidenced by the 240+ people who showed up at our May Day Rally this afternoon. We’ll be doing it again, stay tuned! Nothing like good trouble!
- Come join us tomorrow on Church Street in front of Courthouse Park. Bring your voice, your signs and, most important, your indomitable spirit! See you there!
- Sign ideas!
- Preliminary numbers were over 3.1 million people nationwide for the 50501 initiated protests on April 19th. You, we, us are not alone. We are the many.
- Below are titles of articles written by highly conservative New York Times contributing writer David Brooks over the last four years. When these people start getting it, it must be really, really bad. But it’s a ray of hope for us.
- Truckers are about to get badly hurt by Trump. “Once again, American workers are being sacrificed at the altar of political theater,” state Rep. Josh Siegel said in response. “The tariffs — erratic, broad and poorly targeted — are crushing core U.S. industries like trucking and manufacturing.”
- SAVE THE DATE! Details to follow but be there or pineapple square!

- Stefanik has always treated the people in NY21 as a stepping stone not as constituents. Her ambition is unbounded but her ability limited. New York State doesn't need a Trump mini-me like Stefanik. Her political career needs to end with a whimper.
- Maybe you voted for the Trump Administration, but now you think maybe you’ve made a mistake. All of the turmoil you are seeing wasn’t what you thought would happen? This wasn’t what you were promised? You didn’t vote for an authoritarian, but now you see the reality of where our nation is heading?
- Copied from our friends at Indivisible Oswego County! Some of you have come to our meetings, you’ve marched with us and were open about being a lifelong Republican or even a MAGA supporter, and some of you stayed quiet. We understand. 2/
- Now the time has come. We are going to have to stand together, shoulder to shoulder, Democrat, Republican and Independent, if we are to have any hope of saving our rapidly deteriorating democracy. No Kings! All are welcome! 3/3
- Even closer, in Ithaca!
- A good recap of Trump's meeting with the El Salvador president, and also a ray of hope: Harvard President Alan Garber's "stunning letter" to the Harvard Community digging in his heals.
- “No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue," Garber says. "The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”
- Jennifer Vasquez Sura, wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegally deported to El Salvador, asks for the US government to return him outside a court hearing on the matter.

- Indivisible Cortland County is not sponsoring a local rally on Saturday, April 19, but we are watching carefully and will respond as appropriate. Stay tuned!
- The detention of three children and their mother shocked the town of Sackets Harbor, NY. It also highlighted how much the region’s key industries depend on immigrant workers. “It’s a choice for the US Government at this point, do you want to import your food or do you want to import your labor?”
- This will be the next tariff Trump will cave on. He doesn't want people to tell their children that Trump is the Grinch stealing Christmas this year.
- Felon 47 caving already.
- Update: While Indivisible Cortland County is working on a strategic plan for future peaceful protests, we will not be joining the cities hosting events next Saturday, April 19th. To find a peaceful protest near you, see the 50501 website. www.fiftyfifty.one

- We are planning the next public meeting. Date will be announced shortly. That is the correct website.
- Is Felon 47 malicious or incompetent? Both. But he leans heavily into incompetent now and it's going to cost the US dearly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv8S...
