We’re facing a time of deep uncertainty and rising threats. Our mission is to offer hope, clarity, and practical tools to help our communities stay safe, navigate what’s ahead, and organize for meaningful resistance.
Overall Goals of the Forum
• Elevate community voices impacted by current federal and state policy.
• Foster public awareness on how this administration’s actions are affecting vulnerable populations.
• Create a platform for education, empowerment, and mobilization.
• Facilitate coalition-building among progressive leaders, organizations, and individuals.
• Collect feedback and stories from the community to guide future action.
Audience Engagement Guidelines
• Keep space safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed.
• Encourage respectful dialogue rooted in curiosity or concern, not hostility.
• Provide comment cards or a QR code for anonymous submissions.
• Invite attendees to share their own stories or testimonials in designated sections.
• Facilitate breakout moments (if possible) for deeper conversation.
What We Hope to Achieve
• Document personal stories and public testimony that can be used to advocate for change at the local, state, and federal level.
• Spark renewed political engagement and grassroots energy in the face of apathy or despair.
• Build and strengthen alliances with tribal leaders, educators, healthcare workers, LGBTQ advocates, immigrant families, and more.
• Equip community members with tangible tools and next steps (resources, voter info, protest dates, mutual aid, etc.).
• Pressure local officials and policymakers by showing unified concern and shared values across multiple communities
We are asking that each attendee bring a donation for the One Spirit Food Pantry.
One Spirit is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support for the Lakota people of Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. We strive to provide sustainable programs that promote self-sufficiency, economic development, and educational opportunities for the Lakota people. Our mission is to fulfill their vision of a self-sufficient and independent future. To help the Oglala Lakota tribe of Native Americans achieve happier, healthier lives within the context of their remarkable and unique history and culture.

Good Trouble Lives On
2025-07-17 16:00 - 17:30 | City Hall, 300 6th St, Rapid City, SD, 57701, United States
On the anniversary of the legendary Rep. John Lewis, we will peacefully protest along with the rest of the nation.
John Lewis was a towering figure in the American civil rights movement and a longtime U.S. congressman who believed in the power of nonviolent protest. He famously urged people to “get in good trouble, necessary trouble” to stand up against injustice—a phrase that became both a personal mantra and a rallying cry for generations of activists

John Lewis’s activism was marked by a series of courageous and history-shaping events:

Freedom Rides (1961): As one of the original 13 Freedom Riders, Lewis risked his life challenging segregation on interstate buses across the South. He was beaten and arrested multiple times, but never wavered in his commitment to nonviolence.
March on Washington (1963): At just 23, Lewis was the youngest speaker at this iconic event. As chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he delivered a fiery speech demanding civil rights and justice.
Bloody Sunday (1965): Perhaps the most searing moment of his activism, Lewis led over 600 marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. They were brutally attacked by state troopers—a moment that shocked the nation and helped galvanize support for the Voting Rights Act.

Our representatives have betrayed the American people. The Big Brutal Bill is vastly unpopular. It has massive cuts to social safety nets while shifting wealth to the richest. It cuts SNAP benefits while adding billions to build concentration camps. Millions will lose health care while adding trillions to the debt.

ICE raids are devastating and terrorizing communities across the country. They are deeply harmful, especially for immigrant communities living in fear of sudden detention or family separation. These operations can disrupt neighborhoods, undermine trust in public institutions, and leave lasting emotional and economic scars on those affected.
We VALUE our immigrant population.
STOP the inhumane deportations!
Protest with us!

Demanding Protection of Due Process and Democracy
2025-04-26 11:00 - 12:00 | City Hall, 300 6th St, Rapid City, SD, 57701, United States
Indivisible Rapid City to Hold Protest Demanding Protection of Due Process and Democracy RAPID CITY, SD — Saturday, April 26, 2025 — Indivisible Rapid City will host a peaceful protest on Saturday from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM outside City Hall (300 6th Street), along the public sidewalks on Omaha Street, to demand the protection of due process as a fundamental constitutional right and to speak out against ongoing human rights violations.
The demonstration aims to raise awareness about the erosion of due process protections in America’s legal and immigration systems, emphasizing that due process is not a privilege reserved only for U.S. citizens, but a right guaranteed to all people under the Constitution.
“Due process is the backbone of a functioning democracy,” said a volunteer of Indivisible Rapid City. “When we allow basic legal protections to be stripped away from anyone, we weaken justice for everyone.”
Attendees are encouraged to bring their voices and their values to the sidewalks—standing in solidarity for a more just, inclusive, and lawful society. This protest is peaceful, nonpartisan, and open to all.

This protest is part of a growing outcry against policies and rhetoric that dehumanize migrants, criminalize asylum seekers, and erode the basic legal protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
