A whopping 85,000+ Seattleites braved the threatened rain to contribute to the largest national protest demonstration in US history–7 million strong! Even our weather blessed the event by delaying the deluge until the march had concluded.

More than 400 people from throughout the Seattle area joined West Seattle Indivisible’s International Day of Peace commemoration. A human banner spelled out the word PEACE on the West Seattle waterfront.

Marchers created a festive air to convey a serious message, carrying colorful flowers and VOTE signs behind a banner that read, WHEN DEMOCRACY GROWS, WE THRIVE!  This theme was echoed in looping chants interspersed with singing “America the Beautiful” and “This Land is Your Land”.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell addressed our members for 15 minutes about what the city will do to maintain its sanctuary city status in the face of a militarized ICE coming after our immigrant neighbors and the protestors who support them.

Sunday morning, more than 80 neighbors gathered at Alki’s Statue of Liberty for a moving and energizing West Seattle Indivisible meet-up following the passage of the BBB. Locals shared heartfelt reflections, resources, and ideas for moving forward together.

In one of the largest protests in Seattle’s history, more than 70,000 people turned out on Saturday for No Kings Day in Seattle, one of more than 2000 events held nationwide to protest President Donald Trump’s authoritarian assaults on democracy, immigrants and the rule of law.
