💥 Now that the Big BS Bill has passed, it’s more important than ever that we stand together and unite for democracy! 📍Join us at the northeast corner of NE 139th St & NE 20th Ave (Walgreens) in Vancouver, WA. 🪧 Bring a sign that shows you’re United for Medicaid and Democracy. We welcome all messages of dissent that call for justice, care, and a government that works for all of us. Let’s raise our voices—and our signs—for continued Medicaid funding and the fight to protect democracy! ✊❤️💙 Safety tips for attending rallies in hot weather: wear a wide brimmed hat and light colored, breathable clothing drink plenty of water at the first sign of heat illness (dizziness, muscle cramps, headache, nausea) move to a cooler location and slowly drink a cool beverage. Seek medical attention if you do not feel better. (WA State Dept of Health) Your safety is our top concern. If you need assistance, please reach out to the organizers. If you are concerned about your ability to stand or walk outside during hot temperatures, please stay home! IGV is deeply committed to nonviolence as both a principle and a strategy. We at IGV strongly believe that peaceful, nonviolent activism offers social movements the most power to effect change. Through peaceful protests, we set an example of making our voices heard with dignity, empowered by truth. IGV does not condone intimidation, threats, vandalism, interference with access to business or any other lawless actions. If instigators or opponents attempt to violate our commitment to non-violence, we will try to de-escalate and end the event if needed to maintain a safe environment.

It is powerful.
