Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg wrote a viral guidebook to resisting the Trump agenda

Call it the Accidental Resistance: After the 2016 presidential election, former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin started a viral Google Doc guidebook to political resistance to the Trump agenda. That was the kernel of a grassroots political movement called Indivisible, which a year later has inspired more than 5,000 local groups to action on issues like preserving the Affordable Care Act, supporting public schools and challenging the administration’s immigration policies.

Downloaded more than two million times, the husband-and-wife team’s original document — now proofread and reworked into a sleeker 26-page version — provides progressives with practical advice, such as the best way to contact a local member of Congress, voice opposition at a town hall and speak with the media. Working with a variety of groups in fighting against what Levin and Greenberg see as policies threatening the unity of the country, Indivisible stays true to its name, which stems from the Pledge of Allegiance: “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
