Leah Greenberg, Co-Founder of Indivisible, On Mobilizing and Hope (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad is joined by Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, for a powerful conversation about the unprecedented scale of grassroots mobilization since the Trump administration and the importance of finding a local organizing home. They discuss historic mass protests like “Hands Off” and “No King’s Day,” which saw millions gather across thousands of towns, and explore the effectiveness of protest and advocacy when paired with strategy.

Leah introduces Indivisible’s ambitious 1 Million Rising initiative to train people in nonviolent resistance and organizing, highlighting the urgency of preparing for authoritarian tactics such as voter intimidation and election subversion. They also cover the stakes of upcoming elections, threats to voting rights, and the need for a unifying narrative that inspires hope and authentic engagement with voters.

The conversation emphasizes the power of digital organizing, including Indivisible’s new “Truth and Share” tool, while underscoring that sustained, community-based action is essential to resisting authoritarianism and securing the future of democracy.

They are the "Achilles heel" of the Maga (Make America great again) House…
