About this event

Our Congressman Tom McClintock seems afraid to face his constituents in person. We have repeatedly invited McClintock to appear but he has never answered.

Visiting Congressman John Garamendi of California’s 8th Congressional District will be our guest at a Town Hall meeting for constituents of California’s 5th Congressional District. Congressman Garamendi will be appearing via zoom from Washington, D.C. for an hour from 6 – 7 pm Pacific time to comment on the situation in Congress and take questions live. Doors open at 5:00 pm to prepare questions for the Q&A period.

Congressman Garamendi was raised in Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras County, California in the heart of California’s 5th District. He has a deep knowledge of the issues affecting the Sierra Foothill communities of CA-05. He has a long career in public service beginning with the Peace Corps, 4 terms in the California Senate, 2 terms as Ca Insurance Commissioner, and appointed Deputy Secretary of the Interior by President Clinton, elected Lt. Governor, before serving 8 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

For those of us in remote areas of Congressional District 05, we have a link to the Zoom webinar being hosted by El Dorado Progressives/Indivisible El Dorado.

Info and Links from Indivisible SF’s Direct Action Safety Monitor Training

Here are the info and links from Indivisible SF’s Direct Action Safety Monitor training held on March 28th. Good info to have for all events – it’s best to be prepared and never have to use!

We hope that, with this knowledge, you’ll be able to prevent situations from escalating and help everyone go home safe.

Here is the video of the training. If you missed part of it, please block off the time and make sure you watch the whole thing. Yes, it’s a lot, but there’s a lot of information in here that you need to know.

Things that you should do RIGHT NOW:

  • Install Signal (secure messenger app) on your phone
  • Set up Signal on your phone—create your account, set your username, join the group chat somebody in your group has created for your action (or be the person who creates it and invites others)

Things that someone on your event’s organizing team should do ASAP:

  • Contact your local NLG chapter and request legal observers at your action
  • Contact your local street medic group (if you have one) and invite them to your action

We mentioned MoveOn’s de-escalation training. That happened on April 2 and has now concluded. You can get those materials, including the one-hour video of that training, here: https://moveon.org/RallyPrep

Links to important resources and more info:

Have a safe event and we’ll see you at the next protest.

Hands OFF! National Day of Action – Yosemite Area Indivisible

https://www.mobilize.us/mariposayosemiteareaindivisible/event/770567/

HANDSOFF RALLY

SAT. APRIL 5th

12pm to 2pm

Rd 426 & Hwy 41

Oakhurst, CA

On April 5th, there are massive rallies planned across the country via a coalition of 83 organizations. This includes international labor unions like CWA and SEIU, as well as progressive groups like MoveOn, Indivisible, and DemCast. The event is billed as “Hands Off!” with multiple actions planned on the HandsOff2025 website.

Why it is important to show up and speak out on April

  • We are facing a national crisis. Since his inauguration, Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented power grab—driving up prices, slashing funding for essential programs, and creating instability at every turn. Enabled by Elon Musk and Republicans in Congress, his corrupt agenda is making life harder for everyday Americans while eroding our democracy.
  • We can’t afford to wait any longer to fight back. They think everything belongs to them. Trump and his allies are rapidly stripping America for parts and selling us out—and now Congress is trying to do the same by slashing Medicaid, Social Security, cancer research funding, and more. Why? To give more tax cuts to billionaires.

But the services and jobs they’re slashing aren’t theirs—they’re ours. Our communities are paying the price while the Trumps and Musks of the world cash in. It’s not just about money—it’s about power. his administration is targeting everybody who isn’t part of the 1%—veterans, kids, seniors, farmers, immigrants, transgender people, and political opponents. All to consolidate power and reward their allies.

The lawlessness, cruelty, and corruption has gone too far. On April 5, we unite to say: Hands Off!

Whether you’re outraged by skyrocketing healthcare costs, job cuts, attacks on privacy, or the gutting of essential services—this moment is for you. Whether you’ve been in the fight for years or you’re just fed up and ready to take action—this moment is for you.

We need to build a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis. On April 5, we will host events across the country, in major cities and small towns in every state. Our goal is to show that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop the corruption and power grab.

The power is in your hands. Join us. If there’s a mobilization in your area, sign up to attend. If not, use this toolkit to host your own in your area.
