So, I'm not sure if I'll have the energy to attend this (but since I had cave-time this weekend, I might), but wanted to let folks here know about this event.

"National Day of Action: Rally Around Our Community - This is more than a rally—it’s a commitment to each other and the values we share.
"In collaboration with Indivisible Greater Portland, we invite you to join us for a National Day of Action. On this day, we will stand united in purpose and power to Rally Around Our Community. In a time when our democratic institutions face unprecedented challenges, our voices—raised together—are our most powerful tools for change. This day is more than a gathering; it is a collective commitment to defending democracy, uplifting progressive values, and building a future grounded in justice, equity, and accountability.
"Through advocacy, community building, collaboration, and direct action, we affirm our dedication to protecting the rights of all people and supporting the leaders who reflect our shared values. By showing up, we declare that our communities will not be divided, our voices will not be silenced, and our democracy will not be dismantled. Together, we rise."
